Staying neutral: Nicole Scherzinger steals the limelight in a sweeping black gown on The X Factor
With Miss Dynamix playing the waiting game backstage, Nicole Scherzinger made sure Sunday night kicked off in style as she took to the stage with her fellow judges.
Dressed in a sweeping black evening gown, the 35-year-old singer caught the eye as she made her first appearance of the night at the Fountain Studios in Wembley.
Indeed, Nicole’s dress caught the eye courtesy of a thigh length slash that showed off her shapely right leg, while the off the shoulder detail provided a distinctive flourish as she sashayed to her waiting chair.

The look was given an added detail courtesy of the accompanying wrap that covered one shoulder and the length of her right arm.
Nicole finished her outfit in conventional style with a pair of conventional black stiletto heels, while her hair was tastefully pushed back across her head, this drawing attention to her face – upon which her make-up had been subtly applied.
Striding onto the stage alongside Nicole, fellow judge Sharon continued the neutral theme with her own black evening dress – albeit one that revealed significantly less flesh.

The gown came with sheer arms and an intricate embellished design, while her flame red hair provided the ensemble with an additional flash of colour.
Former Pussycat Doll Nicole's neutral outfit was in stark contrast to the garish red outfit she sported for movie night the previous evening.
Created by Lebanese designer Sandra Mansour, the dress came with a dropped hem and bandage straps across each shoulder.

But while Saturday was all about the movies, Sunday was all about survival and the singer was on hand to see Miss Dynamix face Hannah Barrett in a dramatic sing off that ultimately ended with Gary Barlow’s girl-group heading for the exit.
The X Factor will continue next week on ITV1. #
