She's been lying low since releasing her comeback single Living Without You in January.

But Tulisa Contostavlos made a glamorous appearance at the National Film Awards at Porchester Hall in London on Tuesday night, looking ladylike in a one-shoulder pink dress.

The former X Factor judge's summery, one-shoulder number was nipped in at the waist with a slim black belt.

Tulisa's dress showed off the inkings on her arms and her giant unicorn shoulder tattoo, which she got to cover up an older ying-yang symbol.

The 26-year-old star's paired the pretty look with a smoky eye and a pink lip, swishing her raven locks from side to side as she strutted down the red carpet.

Tulisa got primped and preened to perfection for her big night on the town with a visit to her local hair salon earlier in the day.

After a hellish two years, Tulisa has put her legal woes firmly behind her.

She cleared her name of drugs charges after a tough trial in July 2014, but was found guilty of hitting TOWIE star Vas J. Morgan at the 2013 V Festival earlier this year.

Tulisa has been open about her ordeal, which resulted in her losing her job as an X Factor judge and forces her to put her career on hold.

'I genuinely had my ups and downs throughout the year, I had moments when I woke up in the morning and I was like "I can do this, I’m gonna get through this', she said during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show.

'Then there were days when I was literally crying my eyes out on the bathroom floor with a bottle of vodka.

'It really did vary on the day and the moment but I would say my overall approach to the situation was to stay strong and I knew in my mind I had to stay strong, I didn’t really have a choice.'
