Pop star in the making: Tamera Foster hits the shops during break from X Factor tour... after announcing lucrative new record deal with Syco
She’s readying herself for the tentative release of her first music since being axed from last year’s X Factor – and Tamera Foster looked like a pop star in the making as she strolled through Brighton on Tuesday.
The 17-year-old singer had swapped the urban attire she sported during a recent date in the coastal town with boyfriend Sam Callahan, opting instead for a minimal ensemble comprised of plain white top and taupe leggings.
Tamera completed the look with a pair of black ankle boots, a neutral theme that continued with her single accessory – the woollen scarf loosely wound around her neck.
