Leigh-Anne Pinnock stuns in a backless blue satin mini dress in stunning snaps

She’s been busy promoting Little Mix’s new album Confetti with her bandmates Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall as Jesy Nelson continues her ‘extended break.’ 

And Leigh-Anne Pinnock looked sensational in a slew of stylish snaps she shared with her fans via Instagram on Wednesday. 

The singer, 29, showed off her incredible figure as she modelled a blue satin mini dress that had a feather-trim neckline for a glamorous flair.

Leigh-Anne went braless in her halterneck dress which had a backless design and featured feathers all along the a-line skirt.

She boosted her height in a pair of striking stiletto heels which had jewelled straps that criss-crossed high above her thigh.

The raven-haired beauty pulled her tresses into a slick ponytail for the snaps, and she accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings. 

Last week reports claimed Leigh-Anne and her bandmates Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall will perform a song from new album Confetti on Strictly Come Dancing’s semi-final later this month.

It will not be Little Mix’s first public appearance without Jesy, who was also absent from the Jonathan Ross Show on Saturday, and hosting the 27th edition of one of the biggest nights in global music – the 2020 MTV EMAs – on November 8.     

In November, Little Mix’s representative announced Jesy would be taking an ‘extended break’ from the band due to ‘private medical reasons’ 

Jade recently gave her support to her bandmate after the big news was revealed, insisting that Little Mix will not fall out over any feud as they will always be ‘family’.

Speaking to The Mirror on Saturday, she said: ‘We’ve always been about lifting each other up – I think that translates. People aren’t stupid, they can tell when you’re on stage if you aren’t getting along. 

‘Maybe that’s why people have warmed to us for nearly 10 years. We’re family now.’  

Last week, Jade weighed in on Little Mix’s future following the announcement that Jesy would be taking an ‘extended break’ from the band. 

Jade dismissed claims that the band are splitting up but admitted they ‘might’ go and do their own projects at some point in the future.

She was quizzed by Hit network host Ash London on what the future holds for the hugely-successful band during an interview on Thursday.

Jade said: ‘You know, eventually in the future we might go off and do our own bits and bobs – but Little Mix will literally never die.

‘We’ve always said that – we’re like, we always need Little Mix. I think it’s nice that people are starting to do their own bits and bobs. I definitely want to travel more and see more fans all over the world.’

Earlier this month, Jesy admitted she ‘needed time off’ from the band just one week before announcing she was taking ‘an extended break.’

In an interview with the Mail On Sunday’s YOU magazine published on November 8, Jesy told how the band ‘needed’ some time apart because they are together all day, every day.  

She said: ‘It was needed. We’re never not with each other and we’re always busy. Our mornings start early, we finish really late.’

It comes following reports that Little Mix are reportedly planning to pursue a solo career, following news of Jesy’s ‘extended break.’

Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade are set to launching solo careers next year at the end of their existing record deal, it has been claimed. 

They are said to have been secretly meeting with industry bosses as well as new managers and agents, while Jesy also plans to kick start a solo career when she is feeling better. 

The Sun reported that Perrie and Jade are both looking at solo music projects while Leigh-Anne is eyeing up TV opportunities. 

A source said: ‘The girls have been open and honest with each other, and with their current management team.

‘They have started discussions with some prospective managers and agents about what their solo careers might look like.

‘Some of the girls might end up taking on solo projects with their current management team too. But this isn’t about ending the band, it’s about looking to the future.’

The source added that the group still have a tour to complete next April and will see it through, even if it is delayed due to COVID-19.

The insider also said the ladies are trying to emulate Take That, where each member drifts out to work on their own projects but come back together at different times.

They also claimed there is no ‘bad blood’ between the group and they are all supportive of each other’s wishes to go solo. 

MailOnline contacted representatives for Little Mix for comment at the time.

Jesy’s break comes following great success for Little Mix, with both their brand new album ‘Confetti’ as well as their talent show Little Mix: The Search, which saw them put together a number of bands who competed against one another to win a place support the girl group on their UK and Ireland tour next year.  

Jesy was forced to pull out of the finals of Little Mix: The Search, after falling ill. 

The pop starlet was due to appear on the grand finale of the competition, but a statement released just hours before the live show revealed that she was unwell. 

She was also unable to host the MTV EMAs, or perform alongside her bandmates as planned.

A statement released to MailOnline read: ‘Jesy is unwell and will not be appearing on tonight’s final of Little Mix The Search. 

‘She will also not be hosting or performing at tomorrow’s MTV EMA’s.

The Little Mix girls had been due to host the 27th edition of one of the biggest nights in global music – the 2020 MTV EMAs – on November 8.

Jesy last posted on her Instagram page on October 31 where she shared a snap of herself dressed up for Halloween.

Little Mix were crowned the winners of The X Factor in 2011 when they become the first band to ever win the show in its history. 

They were signed to Simon Cowell’s record label Syco until November 2018 when they switched to rival label RCA.
