Nicole Scherzinger makes jaws drop in a rhinestone-covered gown with a dramatic leg slit… ahead of The Masked Singer premiere

Nicole Scherzinger will put her skills to the test as she returns as judge of Fox’s The Masked Singer.

Scherzinger slipped her enviably toned physique into a stunning, rhinestone-covered gown with a dramatic slit up one leg.

The floor-length dress also featured a strategic cut-out across the chest and a backless design that provided maximum sexiness. 

The slight gathering at the waist of the gown highlighted Nicole’s slender waistline.

Nicole, posing with her well manicured hands on her waist, showed off her ultra sparkly platform heels for the camera.

Fastened to her ears was a pair of striking diamond drop earrings that coordinated with the plethora of rings on her fingers.

Pulling inspiration from Veronica Lake, Nicole wore her lengthy raven hair in loose waves that flowed down from a neat side part.

Adding to the glamour, the Pussycat Dolls alum’s already picture perfect features were further amplified with a few glowy makeup products.

Her lids were decked out in an iridescent lilac eyeshadow shade that perfectly matched her statement making dress.

Nicole completed her makeup look with a generous amount of glittery blush and a strategic amount of gloss on her plump pout. 

‘Trying to play it calm and cool, but internally SO. FREAKING. EXCITED for the premiere of the new season of @maskedsingerfox tonight on @foxtv,’ she captioned her post.

Nicole has been a judge on The Masked Singer since its debut in 2019 on Fox, along with her fellow panelists Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, and Jenny McCarthy.

When she is not working, Nicole is often spending quality time with her rugby player beau Thom Evans, 35, who she has been with since 2019.

In honor of International Women’s Day, Thom paid homage to Scherzinger as he posted a stunning snapshot of her to his Instagram.

‘I am immensely proud of you and everything that you stand for,’ he captioned alongside a sweet picture of his beau.
