Lucky Day: Nicola Roberts films her second solo music video in New York City and flashes her knickers

In her first solo music video, Beat Of My Drum, she wore patterned pants and now Nicola Roberts is flashing some new knickers.

The 25-year-old singer was shooting a video in New York yesterday for her new upcoming single and showed off a pair of leopard print smalls.

The Girls Aloud star teamed up the pants with a barely-there floral dress and some Nike high tops.

Despite looking like she’d forgotten her trousers, Nicola appeared to be starting a new fashion trend in the Big Apple.

Her second single Lucky Day follows the release of Beat Of My Drum last month from her debut solo album yet to be released.

The album, titled Cinderella’s Eyes will be released on September 26 this year to follow on from two single releases.

But although she received raving reviews from music critics for Beat Of My Drum, Nicola failed to top the charts with it.

The upbeat pop song was written by Nicola, with the help of Maya von Doll, Wesley ‘Diplo’ Pentz and Dimitri Tikovoi.

Nicola was filming the video yesterday at St Marks Place in the East Village of New York City and when she wasn’t dancing around, she posed behind some newspaper stands.

And she tweeted after filming: ‘Today was my ‘Lucky Day’… Had the best time shooting my 2nd video. I met some lovely people. I love NY… All feels very surreal right now. X’

But after a fleeting trip Stateside, Nicola was back in London today for the film premiere of Horrid Henry at London’s Southbank today.

Roberts tweeted this morning: ‘Just landed in London after THE scariest bumpiest flight ever! Didn’t sleep a wink! HATE flying x’

She walked the red carpet to lend her support to Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh, who has a role in the children’s film.

Sarah Harding also arrived for the event, but their other bandmate Cheryl Cole was nowhere to be seen – nor was Nadine Coyle.

Could she Bey any more stunning? Beyoncé pulls a series of raunchy poses in a photoshoot for her new album, 4

By Marcus Barnes


High end: The photoshoot was more like the kind you might expect to find in a fashion magazine


She's a global pin up with a legion of fans, both female and male.

So Beyoncé will make a lot of people very happy with these stunning new shots, taken to promote her new album, 4.

The singer, 30, who created an alter-ego named Sasha Fierce for her last album, oozes sex appeal in the new photos - shot by Parisian photographer Greg Gex in the French capital.


And Sasha Fierce appears to be back and in full effect for the slick set of new shots.

In each of the photos, which are more akin to a high-end editorial shoot than the kind you might expect for an album promo, Beyoncé pulls a seductive pose.

In one shot she reclines on a bed wearing a ruffled yellow top, bright blue strappy heels and very little else it seems.

Seeming to channel her alter-ego she stares into the camera seductively while holding the receiver of a retro telephone to her ear.

In another the singer, who is married to rap mogul Jay-Z, wears a strange pair of towering Lady Gaga-esque shoes, with odd-shaped heels in the middle of the sole, while posing on the roof of her hotel Le Meurice.

With her back to the camera and wearing a short, slashed dress one of her most famous assets, the Bootylicious singer's rear, is accentuated to devastating effect.

In another shot, also taken on the hotel roof, Beyoncé faces the camera - again pulling a fierce pose as her alter-ego is unleashed yet again.

This time around she wears a puffed up wrap around her shoulders and a feathered corset with a patterned leotard and strapped up knee-high boots.

In a fourth shot she run her hands through her hair wearing a halterneck blue dress with intricate detailing around the neck and chest area.

The sultry set of shots was taken for her forthcoming album 4, which is her first long player release since I Am... Sasha Fierce in 2008.

Earlier this month Beyoncé performed as the headline act at the Glastonbury festival, which she followed with a more intimate album showcase at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire the next day.

The show was attended by the cream of British talent including Adele, Jessie J and Tinie Tempah.

As well as her successful music career, Beyoncé has also carved out a flourishing career in acting.

Her latest role is lead star in Clint Eastwood's remake of A Star Is Born.

Speaking about landing the role, Beyoncé couldn't hide her excitement and joy at following in the footsteps of Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland.

She told Reuters: 'It's when I became a fan of Barbra Streisand's. And I then saw Judy Garland's version of A Star Is Born, and I realized every 20 to 30 years, a new star is born and a new talent represents that generation and era — so I didn't think that I would ever get the opportunity to be the star.'

It has yet to be confirmed who will play opposite the singer, but it has been rumored that Leonardo DiCaprio may snag the role for the Warner Bros. film. Shooting is set to begin at the end of the year.
