The bronze metallic dress fitted across the bodice, featured an off-the-shoulder strap also showcasing her slender arms.

And with a sultry slit on the left hand side, Jessica's gorgeous frock was given an edgy party touch, perfect for her captivating onstage performance.

The former Australian Idol star teamed her shiny dress with a pair of sleek leather heeled ankle boots, the open-toed shoes accentuating her height on stage.

She wore her caramel tresses out in loose waves, and a slick of light pink lipstick completed her picture perfect look.

Meanwhile another local singer who performed at the event was Nathaniel Willemse.

The former X Factor star opted for a cool look in a dark printed shirt which showed off his muscular arms.

Jessica made headlines last year when she performed as a guest - not a contestant - at the Eurovision song contest in Denmark.

She was watched by 180 million people when she took to the stage.

A statement from SBS said at the time: 'The [new] deal is a result of SBS's ambition to increase Australia's presence at Eurovision following the success of Jessica Mauboy's performance last year in Denmark.'

According to The Daily Telegraph, it took three years of lobbying to increase Australia's involvement in the singing contest.

“The first trip to seriously start lobbying the EBU was to Brussels about three years ago,” SBS managing director Sam Ebeid told the publication.

This year Australia has been invited to compete for the first time.

Not only will voters be able to back Australia this year, but the country will be fast-tracked to the final, which will be hosted in Vienna in May to celebrate the contest's 60th anniversary.
