Tulisa celebrates her MOBO nomination as she bar hops around town in an optical illusion dress


Painting the town blonde: Tulisa celebrates her MOBO nomination as she bar hops around town in an optical illusion dress


    She's won her first ever MOBO nomination as a solo artist, so no wonder Tulisa Contostavlos was in the mood to celebrate last night (Monday).
The North London singer, 24, hit the town after picking up a nod for Best Female at this year's forthcoming awards.
Following the MOBOs launch at Floridita restaurant in Soho - where her ex Richard 'Fazer' Rawson was also in attendance - she popped down to the Freedom Bar a few doors down on Wardour Street.

Then after a bit of drinking, she sensibly decided it was time for dinner so jumped in a taxi to Hakkasan in Mayfair for a Chinese meal.
For her night of bar-hopping, The X Factor judge opted for a nude and black-patterned optical illusion dress, which she teamed with a pair of towering black heels.
Clearly in the mood to change things up a bit, she styled her blonde waves to the side.

With her Tulisa was a large entourage of male friends, including her PA Gareth Varey.
Writing on Twitter, she said: 'On my way to the @MOBOAwards launch! #MOBOS.'
There was no mention of her ex Fazer, who was awkwardly in attendance at the MOBOs bash too.
Although the pair were said to have been on good terms following their January split, Tulisa suggested things weren't as friendly after she declined to support his debut solo single Killer on Twitter.

After Twitter abuse from some loyal N-Dubz fans, she tweeted back: 'Guna block any1 that has a go at me 4 not Tweetin Fazer's single.
'U don't know the ins n outs n it's no1's business. I have the right & my reasons.'
As she has only launched her solo career earlier this year, Tulisa has won four MOBOs together with her former N-Dubz bandmates Costadinos 'Dappy' Contostavlos and Fazer.
