She's known for her saucy fashion tastes but singer Alexandra Burke took it to new levels with her latest ensemble.
Posing in nothing but lengths of bubblegum coloured electrical cable the 23-year-old threw a defiant look as she posed for the camera with a mic to hand.
But instead of gearing up for a provocative stage routine the former X Factor winner slipped into the unusual outfit to raise awareness for breast cancer.

The images have been unveiled to launch Asda’s Tickled Pink ‘Girls’ Night Out’ concert on January 12, which will mark its 15th Anniversary.
Other stars including hip hop artist Chipmunk, Dionne Bromfield and The Saturdays will perform at the fundraiser, set to take place at O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London.
In a bid to add to the millions raised 100 per cent of ticket sales will go to breast cancer charities.
This isn't the first time Miss Burke has been involved with the cause and last autumn she performed at London's Royal Exchange at the Samsung Pink Ribbon evening after completing a charity trek to Peru.

She told Sky at the time: 'Sadly my auntie passed away from breast cancer a year and a bit ago.
'So that's why I do events like this, because it's from the heart and it's really good to give back.'
She also revealed that she had a breast cancer scare after finding a lump the size of a 50p piece, which turned out to be a benign cyst.
To date Asda's Tickled Pink initiative has raised £25 million and the retailer hopes next year's star-studded concert will boost this total.
Judith McKenna, chief operating officer at Asda, said: 'The ‘Girls’ Night Out’ concert is an uplifting way for people around the UK to get involved in fundraising, raising money for both the much needed research into breast cancer and after care.'
Miss Burke, who will release her new single 'Elephant' in February added: 'It is going to be such a great evening of music and entertainment all in aid of a really important cause.
'I’ve been a Breast Cancer Care Ambassador for a number of years now and am delighted to work with Asda in supporting their campaign and helping them to continue the fantastic work'
