Alexandra Burke is never one to shy away from the spotlight, and she definitely commanded all the attention on Saturday night.
Dressed in a bright blue figure-hugging fishtail gown, the former X Factor winner sizzled on the red carpet of a star-studded charity event hosted by Hollywood legend Samuel L Jackson.
With her newly blonde locks worn down, the singer even cuddled up the iconic Snakes on a Plane actor as she graced the red carpet.

Later that evening, Alexandra changed into another glamorous outfit to perform at the event.
The second blue gown featured a high neck with sequins, which complemented the singer as she belted out the high notes in front of the audience.
For the Shooting Star event held at the Corinthia Hotel in London, Samuel called upon all his famous British friends.

And with all proceedings going to the Make a Wish foundation, guests including Alexandra, Lewis Hamilton and celebrity magician Dynamo were more than happy to oblige.
The famous American actor is apparently also very much in touch with the British music culture.
Not only did he ask singer Alexandra to attend, he also requested that Britain's Got Talent opera duo Jonathan and Charlotte perform at the star-studded gala.

Samuel, apparently a big fan of British talent shows, had been following the runner up's story and was so impressed he wanted to hear them live.
And he's not just a fan of the BGT stars, as he also handpicked current X Factor hopeful Jahmene Douglas to perform at the bash.
Jahmene made a mad dash from the X Factor studios to the London hotspot to be able to meet the Hollywood star and perform at his event.

Speaking to The Sun, the 21-year-old singer said: 'It's an honour to be asked. I'm a big fan.'
Samuel himself took some time off shooting his latest film Reasonable Doubt in Canada alongside Dominic Cooper.
The actor, who has over 148 film roles under his belt, has also been a firm campaigner for Barack Obama, which recently saw him meet former President Bill Clinton.

He even told Elle Magazine the former President managed to charm his wife.
'He'd just had (quadruple-bypass) surgery and we were at a fundraiser in Hollywood. She asked him how was he was feeling, and he started explaining the whole procedure to her and how his life had changed.'
'And he was holding her hand and kind of rubbing her upper arm. And she was mesmerised! As soon as I left, I was like, "So, you want to go home with him now or what?".
'She's like, "He had me. I was done. I get it now." He just rocked her.'
