Got a party to go to? Nicole Scherzinger’s best looks provide a stylish starting point. We have seen the star’s dress sense evolve during her years in the spotlight - from head-turning mini dresses and bright-coloured co-ords to sweeping gowns and structured silhouettes.
Scherzinger first rose to fame through the girl group Eden’s Crush, created by the TV talent show Popstars. But she saw her fame soar after she joined the Pussycat Dolls as the band’s lead singer - during which time she received Grammy and Brit Award nominations. After going solo in 2010, she released two studio albums and starred as a Dancing With The Stars contestant.
However, it’s Scherzinger’s career from this point that really solidified her status in the showbiz world. The star served as a judge on the UK and US editions of The X Factor, as well as Australia’s Got Talent and The Masked Singer. She also made her musical debut in the 2014 revival of Cats on the West End - for which she was nominated for a Laurence Olivier Award - and voiced a character in the Disney film Moana.
Throughout her glittering career, Scherzinger has always brought the glamour to the red carpet - appearing in everything from stunning princess-like dresses to sleek sharp tailoring. However, she isn't afraid to mix things up, with shimmering designs, daring details and eye-catching accessories.
Nicole Scherzinger's best looks
From her best red carpet moments to off-duty looks, Scherzinger always ups the ante with her ultra-glamourous style.
1. The black patterned wrap dress
Scherzinger looked pretty during an event at the Empire State Building in New York in 2021. The star stepped out in a patterned black long-sleeved wrap dress, which featured a plunging neckline and thigh split. She accessorised with diamond drop-down earrings and a pair of classic black heels. If you're feeling inspired by her look, a wrap dress is one of the best dresses to hide a stomach - a well-cut one will fit and flatter up top, before skimming over your middle.
RRP: £105 | This ruffled wrap dress from Next creates the perfect silhouette, while the front slit adds a bit of interest. Team with a pair of black tights and boots for a more dressed-down look.
RRP: £75 | A little more modest than Scherzinger's wrap dress, this floaty floral number from M&S is feminine, romantic and feels oh-so-good on. The skirt softly skims the waist and falls to a knee length, complete with ruffle details on the hem.
RRP: Was £69 Now £35 | This floral tea dress from Omnes is the perfect day-to-night dress and is a great alternative to a conventional wrap dress. The deep v-neck, puffed shoulders and slit add a little bit of edge while the vibrant print adds a new twist to a classic style.
