Nicole Scherzinger looks unbelievable as she poses in eye-popping dress in Cannes

NICOLE Scherzinger looked sensational in a purple strapless gown in Cannes.

The Pussycat Dolls star, 44, glammed up as she attended the Pleasure Is Always On VIP party on Monday.

Nicole showed off her trim waist in the figure-hugging corset style frock.

The pop star dazzled in the sparkly number which featured a long trail and a plunging neckline.

The stunning outfit hugged her curves and the sheer material cheekily exposed her toned thighs.

Nicole wore her sleek tresses loose over her shoulder and opted for flawless bronzed make-up.

She completed her glamorous look with silver dangling earrings and a layered necklace.

It comes just days after Nicole announced a major career move after landing the lead role in an iconic musical.

The singer will play Norma Desmond in a new production of Sunset Boulevard in London’s West End.

Andrew Lloyd Webber, the man behind the music in the show, has heaped praise on former X Factor judge Nicole and her vocal abilities ahead of its run at the Savoy Theatre in September.

He said: “Nicole is one of the finest singers I have worked with, and I can’t wait to get started on this exciting show with her and the rest of this brilliant team.”

Sunset Boulevard, based on the 1950 film of the same name, tells the story of Norma, a faded star of silent movies.

After the Pussycat Dolls disbanded in 2010 Nicole launched a solo music career which saw her score five UK top 10 singles.

She made her West End debut back in 2014 when she starred as Grizabella in the musical Cats.

Nicole’s exciting news comes after she performed at the Coronation Concert for King Charles earlier this month.
