Worth the wait! Selena Gomez takes to the
X Factor stage in racy leather ensemble for rescheduled performance of new hit single Slow Down

A week overdue, Selena Gomez finally took to the X Factor US stage to perform new hit single Slow Down on Thursday night.
Fans were up in arms when a glitch in the voting system the previous week meant that the star's performance had to be rescheduled, though they were rewarded for their patience when the singer made her long-awaited showstopping appearance.
The 21-year-old looked amazing clad in a sexy black leather and sequinned layered ensemble featuring a leather fringed skirt that exposed her leotard underneath and thigh-high boots.
