NOUGHTIES Irish pop icon Samantha Mumba looked just like she did in her heyday as she made a rare appearance on the red carpet recently.

The singer was a huge hit back in the 2000s after releasing her singles Gotta Tell You and Baby Come Over - which soared high in the charts.

Samantha, 41, rose to fame as a teen when she was just 17, releasing her hit singles - which reached the top five in the UK, Ireland and the US.

Fans will remember Samantha as a fresh-faced teen when she made her music debut - with long straight hair and a bright smile.

The mum-of-one stepped out on the red carpet at Hollywood Athletic Club in Los Angeles last night for the premiere of BMF season three.

And she looked almost the exact same as she did 24 years ago during the highlight of her career.

The Dublin beauty stunned in a khaki green one-sleeve asymmetrical dress.

Samantha paired the frock with black heeled knee-high boots and accessorised with a gold chain necklace.

Her stunning brunette locks were curled and she had a natural glam makeup look on with a nude lipstick.

She posed for some sultry photos at the star-studded event smiling with her hand on her hip.

The singer lives in LA with hubby Torray Scales and their daughter Sage, 8.

In 2021 Samantha spoke about her interest in looking at properties online as she "missed home" and was unable to travel overseas from LA.

Featuring as a guest on RTE's Late Late Show previously, Samantha said things were going well in America but she liked to search for properties in Ireland.

The singer told viewers that she spends her time before bed scrolling on Daft.ie and searching for homes in Howth, Clontarf and Drumcondra.

She said her interest in looking at Irish properties began when the pandemic halted all travel and she was unable to see her family in Ireland.

Samantha explained: "I love to look up Daft and I have got my favourites and my wish list.

HOME SICK

"I love looking at different properties and different areas I would maybe consider

"I love Howth, I love Clontarf, I've been a Drumcondra girl pretty much all my life so that's always number one on the search. But yeah that's my thing.

"It's going very well [in America], I think I have been very spoiled in the past because I have lived overseas but I have always got to come home four or five times a year so it never felt like such a big deal it was just back and forth.

"Then the thing [Covid] happened and really that's when the Daft thing started because I was really feeling homesick and considering getting home and missing home...especially family."
