Nicole Scherzinger puts on a racy display in a sheer lace catsuit as she models TWO stylish looks while attending Dream Fest in Baku
The former Pussycat Doll, 47, looked nothing short of sensational in a sheer black lace catsuit as she took to the stage alongside a slew of backup dancers to perform several of her best hits including Don't Cha, Buttons, and Jai Ho!
Her risqué ensemble featured a mesh and sequinned body as well as fringe sleeve detailing and shoulder pads.
Commanding attention on stage, Nicole further elevated her look with a pair of black ankle boots.
The singer-turned-Broadway star appeared in very high spirits as she put on an energetic performance, sending the crowd wild.
Earlier in the evening, Nicole cut a glamorous figure in a white figure-hugging jumpsuit as she graced the red carpet ahead of the event.
The eye-catching ensemble featured a silver jewel embellishment at the neckline and waist, dramatic cape sleeves, and flared legs.
Posing up a storm for the cameras, Nicole further accessorised the glamorous ensemble with a stack of silver earrings.
Discussing Nicole's performance at the festival, founder and Azerbaijani singer-songwriter Emin said: 'She has to be the hardest working person in showbusiness. Nobody would do this, not even me, and it's my own festival.'
The international Dream Fest music festival will take place from July 23 to July 26 on the scenic shores of Sea Breeze Resort.
Four days of open-air celebrations, dancing, music, and endless energy, over 50 artists are set to take to the stage to perform, including Tyga and Blue.
Nicole has been very busy as of late with her Sunset Boulevard show on Broadway, and earlier this week, the star took to the stage one last time as Norma Desmond to bring the house down with a dramatic farewell performance.
The star left fans stunned with her chilling finale look, which featured theatrical blood dripping down her neck.
Nicole has won rave reviews for her role in the gritty Andrew Lloyd Webber classic, with her haunting portrayal of the character.
In the lead up to her final show, tributes poured in to her via Nicole's social media. Her vocal coach described her as 'an absolute force of nature'.
He revealed that on their first session, she looked at him right in the eyes and said: 'I'm a good student. Tell me what I need to do and I'm gonna get it done.'
Nicole herself said that her final show would be 'magic in the making'.
In a lengthy post to her Instagram, she wrote: 'Today, the sun sets on Sunset Blvd for the final time.
'After living and breathing Norma Desmond for the past two years, it's almost impossible to grasp that today is the last show. What began as a limited run, then extended, now somehow, nearly 10 months on Broadway have flown by.
'Norma's story is for anyone who's ever felt alone. Lonely. Abandoned. Outcast.
'For anyone who never felt like they belonged.
'For those who once loved something deeply and had it taken from them, aching to reclaim it.
'For the dreamers. The fighters. The believers. The warriors. For those unshakable in their purpose and power, doing what they love most.
''This is my life. It always will be.There is nothing else.''
She added: 'Norma has changed me forever. Thank you, Broadway 'for the magic in the making.'
'Thank you and to the entire beautiful, brilliant @andrewlloydwebber @jamielloyd @alanwilliamsmd @fabianaloise and to the entire beautiful, brilliant @sunsetblvdmusicalcompany, for everything.'
Fans flocked to her comment section and penned: 'Just absolutely incredible. I saw it 3 times and I would have seen it more if I could lol. You are a force my love. So proud of you!!!!!! Love you queen!!!!!'
'So happy I saw it twice. Wish I could have seen it 20 more times!'
'So beyond happy for you. Saw the show four (or was it five) times and every time you were even more nuanced, took different risks and had the audience in the palm of their hands. Brava! She's a Hawaiian Tony Winner!!!!!'
'You have given Norma the stage she deserves for a new Audience and a new generation! Saw it 3 times it was incredible every time! Brava my dear.'
'You have changed OUR lives forever with your talent, wisdom, bravery, and most of all your willingness to open up your heart and reveal it to us night after night. You are the North Star for all that it means to be a performer, and I am so beyond grateful that I got to live at a time in history to witness such beautiful art. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you. ❤️ You are the GREATEST STAR OF ALL'
The critically acclaimed musical runs for approximately two hours and 35 minutes and has earned Nicole a Tony at this year's awards.
Nicole took over the role from acting legend Glenn Close, 78, who won her third Tony Award in 1995 for playing the part.
After watching Nicole's performance earlier this year, Glenn said: 'You can't approach Norma with a faint heart. She tests your metal [and] demands that you dig deep.'
She continued: 'Nicole's performance is an act of raw artistry and astounding bravery.
'She and the entire production blew me away. I loved meeting Nicole, [her co-star] Tom Francis, and many members of the ensemble backstage afterwards!'
Sunset Boulevard has been a huge success and grossed more than $1.08 million during its first week of six previews alone at the St. James Theatre in New York City.

Best-dressed celebrities in Britain are revealed by high society magazine Tatler... but do YOU agree with the rankings?
There may be two princesses – well, sort of – in the rankings but even they seem to be struggling to fit the bill. Tatler has come up with a 'best-dressed list' and the results are, to be kind, a touch questionable. The real princess, Alexia of the Netherlands was placed fifth, despite her wearing a plain green frock from Zara. Alexia, 20, is the second in line to the Dutch throne. The faux 'princess' is the only daughter of glamour model and I'm a Celebrity winner Katie Price, 18-year-old Princess Andre. She has landed herself an unlikely second place. Hailed 'the face of a new generation of British pop culture royalty', the teenager is now starring in her own ITV reality show. Placed first were high-society half sisters, Lady Lola Bute and Jazzy de Lisser, whose mother Serena Bute runs a fashion label and so, like good nepo babies, the pair have started their own. The only daughter of glamour model and I'm a Celebrity winner Katie Price, 18-year-old Princess Andre, has landed herself an unlikely second place With a contact book bursting full of industry heavyweights such as Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne, the success of their fashion venture seems inevitable. Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie's 24-year-old son, Rocco, comes third wearing a simple black tailored suit. Elsewhere on the best dressed rankings was the Swarovski heiress, Nadja Swarovski, who runs the British country label Really Wild Clothing, a favourite of the Princess of Wales. Continuing the royal theme, Zara Tindall, granddaughter of the late Queen, came seventh because, says the society bible, her 'wardrobe hits have been nothing short of spectacular'. She was, memorably, pictured at Ascot this year in a £917 Camille dress from the London-based designer, Laura Green. Though very much a royal, she doesn't qualify as a third princess on the list because HRH titles are limited to the children of the sovereign, the children of sons of the sovereign and, finally, the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. Coming in at number six on the Tatler list was Bromley footballer Omar Sowunmi for having his own T-shirt line, Two Islands, which sells simple graphic tees for £60. In eighth spot was 'Triple Barrelled Suave', George Packe-Drury-Lowe, a little-known member of the aristocracy who appears because he once convinced Turnbull and Asser to recreate a near-forgotten turtleneck favoured by Lord Snowdon. Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie's 24-year-old son, Rocco, comes third wearing a simple black tailored suit Continuing the royal theme, Zara Tindall, granddaughter of the late Queen, came seventh because, says the society bible, her 'wardrobe hits have been nothing short of spectacular' Strictly Come Dancing star and Wimbledon veteran, Annabel Croft, 59, made ninth place for 'always a glam slam when it comes to event dressing' and, finally, in tenth place, was Zack Pinsent. The 31-year-old is the only entry on the list to be a qualified tailor and wears exclusively Regency-era dress. The Mail previously revealed Mr Pinsent was at the centre of a scamming scandal earlier this year after customers claimed he owed them thousands of pounds in undelivered orders such as a £350 pair of pantaloons and a Regency-style Covid mask. Disgruntled clients include an American theatre producer and his husband who claim they paid an £8,000 deposit for outfits for a fancy-dress event in Venice. Mr Pinsent said: 'I have never stolen money nor materials from any client. If I have ever had to discontinue working with a client, they have received a refund in compliance with their contract.'

Lizzo stokes controversy lampooning the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad with a message about race
Lizzo has weighed into the controversy surrounding the American Eagle campaign fronted by Sydney Sweeney, by reposting a political meme of herself. Sweeney, 27, and the denim brand have been accused of pushing Nazi-like eugenics as aspirational in the campaign designed to lure Gen Z customers. 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color,' Sydney said in the commercial, adding: 'My jeans are blue.' In response, Lizzo, 37, - who boasts 44.7M social media followers - shared a Photoshopped meme of herself in a similar pose with the caption: 'My jeans are black…' Both Sweeney and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have not issued any statements amidst the white supremacy backlash, which caused the stock price to substantially dip over the past five days. A source claimed to TMZ on Wednesday that 'independent polling shows the vast majority of folks - around 70% - find the commercial appealing.' On Sunday, American Eagle curiously shared an Instagram photo of a black model fronting the same fall denim campaign after 14 consecutive posts all about Sydney. 'Throwing in a little color for some razzle dazzle,' Instagram user @lyssalive commented. 'This post screams "See, we have black friends,"' Instagram user @jaylightthevibe agreed. 'Try again.' Instagram user @speechierox commented: 'Does she have great jeans like Sydney Sweeney too or is this just damage control?' The Pittsburgh-based fashion retailer pledged to donate 100% of the proceeds from 'The Sydney Jean' (featuring a butterfly patch representing domestic violence awareness) to mental health support non-profit, Crisis Text Line. Lizzo's (born Melissa Jefferson) post coincidentally came the same day she told PAPER that she has 'great genes.' 'I love my natural face,' the four-time Grammy winner declared to the magazine. 'I look at my mother's face and I'm like hell yeah. I feel very blessed to have great genes and I wanna show it. Why cover up what God gave you?' On January 16, Lizzo announced that she had reached her weight-loss goal, lowered her body mass index (BMI) by 10.5, and lost 16% of her body fat since 2023. Both Sweeney and American Eagle CEO Jay Schottenstein have not issued any statements amidst the white supremacy backlash, which caused the stock price to substantially dip over the past five days A source claimed to TMZ on Wednesday that 'independent polling shows the vast majority of folks - around 70% - find the commercial appealing' Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet The Yitty co-creator - whose Halloween costume was Ozempic - repeatedly denied being on the trendy GLP-1 drug until June 19 when she confessed on the Just Trish podcast that she had tried it in the past. Lizzo will next produce and star in a biopic about pioneering electric guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe, which will mark her biggest acting gig yet. 'I'm not doing it because I want an Oscar,' the Crashout rapper told PAPER. 'I want to make Sister Rosetta Tharpe a household name as big as Elvis. When people talk about rock 'n' roll it begins with her.' Last week, Lizzo teased that she was 'back in the studio' ahead of the release of her fifth studio album, Love in Real Life. The Emmy-winning producer will eventually have to face her former back-up dancers - Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez - at a jury trial in Santa Monica Courthouse due to their sexual, religious, and racial harassment lawsuit. Lizzo has vehemently denied all of their allegations.

Ashley Roberts takes inspiration from Madonna's famous conical bra as she slips into a figure-hugging red satin dress for the UK premiere of Freakier Friday
She's no stranger to showing off her quirky sense of style. And Ashley Roberts took inspiration from one of music's most iconic stars as she graced the purple carpet for the UK premiere of Freakier Friday at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Thursday. The former Pussycat doll, 43, looked incredible in a figure-hugging red satin dress, which boasted a top akin to the conical bra that Madonna famously wore during her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour. The singer famously took to the stage in the Jean Paul Gaultier satin piece, with the look becoming one of the most iconic in fashion history. Ashley added inches to her frame as she paired her red dress with a pair of black strappy heels. To finish her look, Ashley opted for an elegant updo as she pinned up her luminous locks and opted for a chic middle part. Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, stars alongside L indsay Lohan, 39, in the now-smash hit 2003 comedy, which sees the two characters switch bodies, with hilarity ensuing. Fans had long hoped for a sequel to the iconic comedy but had an agonising wait as Freakier Friday is only now hitting cinemas - a whole 22 years on from the original. And now Jamie Lee has revealed why there was such a long gap between the two releases as she admitted she has long had her eye on a follow-up movie. Appearing on Wednesday's The One Show, Jamie revealed they had to wait until Lindsay was old enough to have a teenage child for the sequel premise to work. 'The truth is that Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter, people would ask me about the movie over and over again,' she shared. 'And finally someone in Australia said, ''well she is'' and I was like ''what do you mean?'' because I know her as this young girl so I don't know how old she is. 'So someone told me and I was, like ''Oh! well maybe we can make the movie. Let's go!''' Lindsay was just 15 years old when she first portrayed Anna Coleman in Freaky Friday alongside Jamie Lee, who played her on-screen mother Tess Coleman. To finish her look, Ashley opted for an elegant updo as she pinned up her luminous locks and opted for a chic middle part It follows the bickering mother and daughter after a Chinese restaurant fortune cookie mishap causes them to switch bodies, forcing them to live the other's life. Despite barely having been able to see eye-to-eye, the magical switch eventually allows them to see things from the other's point of view. The sequel will see the iconic pairing switch places once again, though this time there is quadruple chaos in store. Anna (Lindsay) is preparing to tie the knot with to Eric Davies (Manny Jacinto), but things are proving difficult as her teenage daughter Harper (Julia Butters) despises Eric's teenager Lily (Sophia Hammons). Harper highlights her disgust as she's heard reciting mock wedding vows, in which she brands her soon-to-be step-sister 'a little demon thing with an obnoxious accent'. A flash forward to Anna's bachelorette party sees her and mother Tess Coleman sit down with a fortune teller (Vanessa Bayer), who warns them they may learn another lesson by 'walking in each other's paths'. Anna and Tess then find themselves caught up in yet another 'freaky' body swap incident - only this time, it's not just between the two of them. The next morning, Anna discovers she's swapped bodies with daughter Harper, while Tess, aka 'Grandma', is now in the body of Anna's step-daughter Lily. Quadruple chaos then ensues as the foursome try to navigate their new roles with just days to go until the wedding.
