That's what you call curve control! Alicia Keys shows off sculpted figure in TWO super tight dresses at the ARIA Awards

Each year, Australia celebrates its musical favourites at the illustrious ARIA Awards.
And this time around it was Alicia Keys who swept in from the USA to stand before the pool of talented local talent as a guest performer and presenter.
The 14-time Grammy Award winner graced the red carpet with her superstar status, joined by the likes of teenage sensations Lorde and Cody Simpson as they honoured the winners at Sydney's The Star casino.
A welcome guest! Superstar Alicia Keys was a special guest at Australia's biggest music awards night, the ARIA Awards, held in Sydney on Sunday
And the winner is! The 32-year-old singer announced the happy winners on the night of nights
The Girl On Fire songstress made a stunning impression on the 'black carpet' - which was the event's substitute for a red carpet - in a bright lemon coloured gown.
The flattering, form-fitting garment hugged the 32-year-old's stunning physique from neck to toe, flashing a little skin around the edges above a dazzling gold waist belt.
With her hair neatly styled on the top of her head and her gorgeous face kitted out with elegant cat eyes, she was the blatant Hollywood star of the evening.
Making an impression: The stunning singer wore a plunging lemon coloured gown to the Australian event

A happy audience: The guest of honour wooed her fans on a stunning piano
Also coming from across the seas - but only as far as New Zealand - was teenage genius Lorde, who showcased her own musical talents at the event.
It was the 17-year-old's very first television appearance, and she made sure to cement her own definitive style on the black carpet before she hit the stage to belt out her famous track, Royals.
The singer, whose real name is Ella Maria Lani Yelich-O'Connor, was clad head-to-toe in black, with dark lipstick and billowing sleeves on her elegant cape-like gown.

Peace! Lorde posed with Flume, who himself took home four ARIA awards to account for his immense success
Debut: Lorde gave her first ever television performance at the event while Flume became the first artist who doesn't even sing to win an award
The talented youngster posed for a series of happy snaps alongside highly gifted electronic music producer Flume, who dominated the evening with a grand total of four awards.
The 22-year-old - whose real name is Harley Streten - burst into the mainstream music spotlight in 2011 after an already lengthy tenure on the indie scene, making music since the ripe age of 13.
Flume took home the trophies for Best Male, Best Dance Album, Breakthrough Artist and Producer Of The Year for his highly popular self-titled album.
Speaking to News.com.au, the gifted computer wrangler noted: 'the coolest thing is I'm a producer, I don't even sing.'
Youngsters: Lorde is only 17 years old, whilst Flume is 22 years old
Wow: The impressive teenager belted out her famous tune for the waiting fans
Setting her style: Lorde was clad head-to-toe in black with billowing sleeves and dark lipstick
Stunning: Guy and Jules Sebastian were matching in pale ensembles on the black carpet
Indigenous artist Jessica Mauboy took home the Best Female Artist award, and the double-rainbow for her was that the trophy was presented by her idol Alicia Keys.
Noting what a feat her breakthrough was for indigenous talent in Australia, the gorgeous singer said: 'Shut the gate, this is so deadly - this award means creating pathways.'
Cody Simpson, who has been toted as the next potential Justin Bieber - hopefully without the embarrassing Instagram selfies - was there in a dapper suit alongside his pretty blonde sister Alli Simpson.
Also taking home rewards for their success were Guy Sebastian, Tama Impala, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Matt Corby, Russell Morris, Justine Clarke, Tom & Alex from Triple J, Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson, Karnivool, Illy, Smantha Jade, Air Supply and Michael Gudinski.
