In an effort to compete with the likes of Lady Gaga and Cheryl Cole, Alexandra Burke has revamped her sexy image by following the underwear as outerwear trend.
Following suit from pop’s most successful stars, Burke has had to increase her sex appeal by stripping down to barely-there outfits.
The 21-year-old sported her most provocative stage costume to date while performing for Ladies Night at Aintree Racecourse in a skimpy corset and stockings.
The X Factor winner showed off her toned physique in the red leopard print garment, black hot pants, long gloves and heels. Her racy new look seemed to have taken inspiration from the Pussycat Dolls as she stepped out for the show in Liverpool – but is she trying too hard to take on her pop rivals?
Despite prancing around in lingerie with her derrière exposed for the world to see, Burke was showing no signs of any body hang-ups or insecurities.
The confident singer recently said that she thought she’d lost weight but assured fans she has maintained her Size 10 frame.
‘I’m trying to run three times a week, but do I run three times a week? Er, no, more like drink three times a week’, she told a newspaper.
The Bad Boys singer is definitely doing something right though to keep in such great shape. Meanwhile, rumours have been circulating that Alexandra might return to The X Factor to mentor the 2010 contestants.
However she told the Daily Star: ‘I’d love to go back but I don’t know about mentoring – I would be so nervous’.
