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.
Other stars including hip hop artist Chipmunk, Dionne Bromfield and The Saturdays will join Alexandra to perform at the Girls' Night Out fundraiser in London next January
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'
Their live show performance yesterday earned them a standing ovation and many more numbers added to their ever-increasing fan base.
And one of those new Little Mix fans appears to be the local pizza place, who showed their love for the girls on one of their takeaway boxes.
Member Leigh-Anne Pinnock was snapped leaving the X Factor studios last night clutching the box, which had a colour picture of her and her bandmates on the front.

She beamed for the cameras as she showed off the box, flipping it open to reveal a loaded pizza inside, which, by the looks of things, she had already started to demolish.
Leigh-Anne, 19, couldn't stop smiling as she left the studios, chatting away on her phone as she made her way to her car.

And she wasn't the only contestant to get a taste of the trappings of being a pop star.
Amelia Lily, 17, left the studios not long behind Leigh-Anne with a hand-decorated bag on her arm.
The canvas bag had a drawing of the aspiring pop star on it, complete with pink hair and long eyelashes, and her name written down the right side.
Delighted with her gift, she took a picture of it and posted it on her Twitter page saying: 'A beautiful fan sent me this bag, absolutely love it.'
Turns out that the fan is Claire Barratt, a handbag designer whose company ClaireaBella Designs, has made lots of these personalised bags for a number of celebrities, including most of The Only Way Is Essex girls.
Leigh-Anne and Amelia were followed out of the studios by their mentors, Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos, who looked pleased with the way the night had gone for their acts.
Well, at least we know who's bag it is! Amelia Lily leaves the studios with her personalised handbag made for her by ClaireaBella Designs
Little Mix, who are mentored by Tulisa, sang a rendition of En Vogue's Don't Let Go which received a standing ovation.
As a proud Tulisa stood and applauded, Gary Barlow said it was their best performance yet and Louis declared: 'We're looking at the next great girl band in the UK.'
Amelia, who was voted back into the competition last weekend, sang a version of Aretha Franklin's Think, which Tulisa said she didn't know and Gary said he thought it was performed an octave too high for her range and that she rushed in parts.
Babes in blue: Judges Kelly Rowland and Tulisa Contostavlos left the studios happy with their acts' performances
But she was positive as she took to her Twitter page to urge people to keep her in the competition and said: 'Guys please vote for me, I know tonight wasn't my best but I know I can come back next week and give it everything:) please vote for meexxx.'
Also spotted leaving the studios were Janet Devlin, who sang 'Kiss Me' by Sixpence None The Richer and Craig Coulton, who sang Licence to Kill by Gladys Knight.

Their work here is done: Caroline Flack and Olly Murs head home after hosting The Xtra Factor spin-off show
They were followed by judge Louis Walsh, who has no more acts left in the competition and The Xtra Factor hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.
And former X Factor winner Alexandra Burke was also seen leaving, having sat in the audience just two weeks after standing in for Kelly when she was off sick.
All the finalists will be back at the studios this evening for the live results show, which is on ITV at 8pm tonight.
Nothing to do but watch: Louis Walsh, who has no more acts left in the competition, and Alexandra Burke, who watched from the audience after standing in for Kelly Rowland two weeks ago
It's never too early in the party season to don a bit of festive sparkle.
And Amanda Holden certainly didn't hold back in a brilliant gold ensemble for tonight's Cosmopolitan Ultimate Woman Awards.
The 40-year-old presenter looked stunning in a fitted gold dress, making no secret of her growing baby bump.
And it certainly turned out to be her night, as she picked up the award for Ultimate Theatre Star.

Amanda looked gorgeous as she proudly showed off her award, accentuating her still-slim legs with a towering pair of gold heels.
Meanwhile Blondie singer Debbie Harry picked up the Award for Ultimate Icon, which she proudly displayed standing next to fellow pop star Kylie Minogue.
Unfortunately Debbie appeared to have lost some of her iconic fashion sense, as she looked odd in a floor length black dress covered in lace, accessorised with long black gloves.
Kirstin Hallenga won the award for Ultimate Campaigner, while Nicole Campbell was voted the Ultimate Survivor.
Winners: Alexandra Burke stood with with Kirstin Hallenga, who was holding her award for Ultimate Campaigner, while Kylie Minogue accompanied Debbie Harry, who was voted Ultimate Icon

Also on the red carpet for the Cosmopolitan even was X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos, in a one-shoulder red dress. Though the one-sided sleeve looked a little bulky, which was slightly unflattering, the star looked great with her hair in a side bun. She had an extra reason to smile tonight, as she paid a visit to the dentist earlier today and appears to have had her teeth whitened, with the result putting Simon Cowell's veneers to shame. The N-Dubz singer was spied visiting a dental practice, and looked eager to flash her dazzling grin as she left the Mayfair Hotel earlier this evening.

Also in attendance was her co-panelist Kelly Rowland- though the pair steered clear of each other on the red carpet. Kelly appeared fully recovered from the throat infection which saw her miss last week's show, in a floor length hot pink dress. The Destiny's Child star brought along her X Factor contestants Janet Devlin and Misha B.

Meanwhile Fearne Cotton looked very slim indeed in a short white dress with lacy sleeves.
The presenter and designer showed off her slender legs, and exposed the star tattoo on her right foot.
Abbey Clancey showed up in a very strange turquoise dress with a cutaway section above the chest and heavy eyeliner.
Like Tulisa, Strictly star Holly Valance opted for a one-shoulder look, though she chose a floor-length black gown- complete with 'Come Dancing-style sequins.
Making an appearance: Myleene Klass and Sophie Ellis-Bextor both looked gorgeous in very individual ensembles
Amanda appears to be relishing her pregnancy, looking radiant as she shows off her ever-expanding figure.
But while Amanda highlighted her growing figure in her tight dress tonight, she took to Twitter earlier this week to tell fans Chris has come up with a less than flattering nickname for her.
Tweeting a picture of the Mr Men's Mr Greedy, Amanda wrote: 'Chrispy says I am starting to look like this!
Mixing it up: Shingai Shoniwa sported a very unusual look, mixing banana yellow with sky blue, and carrying a very large clutch
Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda revealed in August that she and Chris were expecting again after tragically losing a baby boy last year.
The pair are already parents to five-year-old daughter Lexi.
And she has told how she is convinced this pregnancy will be positive.
She said: 'This time I just know everything is going to be fine.
'Even Chris, who usually says ‘I hope so’ when I ask for reassurance, now says “I know so”.’

'A secretary who sings at the weekend': Sophie Habibis slated for her 'dull as dishwater' performance as Rhythmix become Little Mix... and scary creepy dolls
She's had it tough since getting through to the live finals of the X Factor competition and moaned that she wasn't getting enough attention like her fellow contestants.
But unfortunately for Sophie Habibis, tonight's performance on the Halloween special of the X Factor did give her some attention - but for all the wrong reasons.
The 19-year-old barmaid from north west London was the third act to take to the stage tonight with her own spooky rendition of Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).
Scroll down for the videos...
Spooky, sultry and sexy: Sophie Habibis sang Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) on tonight's X Factor Halloween special
She looked sensational with her dark hair piled up on her head and in a skintight outfit with male dancers writhing behind her.
But sadly, the song choice reflected her comments as she was indeed shot down by judges Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow.
Scathing: Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow took Sophie's song choice literally and shot her down, calling her a 'secretary who sings on weekends' and 'dull as dishwater'
Upset: Brave Sophie tried to mask her disappointment after Louis and Gary's comments
Louis was first to pass judgement when he told her: 'You're a great singer and a really nice girl but I'm not sure about the song choice.
'There's something missing, I dunno what it is, you're like a secretary who sings at the weekend or something.'
Girl power: Tulisa Contostavlos and Alexandra Burke, who was standing in for Kelly Rowland, gave Sophie a much-needed boost
Gary was equally as scathing and despite telling her she was 'one of the best singers left in the competition', he added: 'This is the fourth week running you've chosen to sing a weary dreary ballad - your song choices are as dull as dishwater.'
Tulisa Contostavlos, however, was very complimentary and said, 'You nailed it. you went for it and you're finding your own tone', and Alexandra Burke, was was standing in for a sick Kelly Rowland, added: 'I'll keep it real, there was some slight tuning problem but doesn't take from the fact you are a beautiful performer.'
Swinging around: Little Mix, formerly known as Rhythmix, took to the stage dressed as creepy rag dolls
Dolly girls: Little Mix's jerky dance moves suited their look perfectly
It wasn't a bad night for all the girls though, especially the girl-group formerly known as Rhythmix, who tonight debuted their new name - Little Mix - after they were forced to change it after a children's charity with the same name requested they did.
It had also been a tough week for member Jesy who had been on the end of some very negative criticism and comments about her weight and her looks, which had reduced her to tears.
Bad week: Jesy (far left) was seen getting upset as Tulisa and Louis comforted her and told her not to listen to her haters
They came on stage with a new name and a spooky new look as they took their places for their rendition of Katy Perry's E.T and dressed and made up to look like scary rag dolls, their harmonies were sharp and their jerky dance moves in time and in keeping with their creepy look.
And not only did the judges sing their praises, with Gary telling them it was a 'great song choice' and Alexandra telling them there was a 'space in the market' for them but Tulisa and Louis reassured and comforted Jesy, who was visibly upset after the performance.
'Smashed it': The Risk, who were debuting new member Ashford, opened the show will their version of Michael Jackson's Thriller
Louis told her, 'Jesy, don't read the negative things people are just jealous because you're on the X Factor', and Tulisa added: 'Jesy, it takes a lot to speak up and am proud of you. Girls, the performance was amazing you did something different tonight that's never been done before.'
First up on the show tonight were The Risk, who were debuting their new member Ashford Campbell after Ashley J. Baptiste quit this week, and performed Michael Jackson's Thriller, which delighted the judges and were told they had 'smashed' their performance.
Audience favourite Johnny Robinson was up next and ditched the camp fun glamour for a more serious look as he came on and stood by a piano for his version of Billie Holiday's That Old Devil Called Love.
That old devil called Johnny: Mr Robinson performed a version of Ella Fitzgerald's classic song
Can't contain himself: Johnny couldn't believe his luck when Gary came up on stage to give him a hug and a kiss
After his performance, Gary got up from his chair, hugged Johnny and gave him a kiss on the cheek, much to the Londoner's delight and excitement.
The Take That star told him: 'That's it, it's that simple that's all you needed to do, you're not a novelty act, you're a great singer.'
Tulisa told him: 'You finally got to sing a ballad and you sung it well. Louis, you've been hiding his skills for too long. I loved it. Johnny, I thought you were very very sexy tonight.'
He's got it all: Marcus Collins's performance of Stevie Wonder's Superstition wowed the judges
Alexandra added: 'Great song choice, you sung your little heart out and I love you, you bring the fun to the X Factor, you are very special', and his own mentor, Louis, added: 'We could be in Ronnie Scotts listening to a world wide jazz singer, you nailed it.'
After Sophie was Marcus Collins, who sang Stevie Wonder's Superstition mashed up with I Need You Tonight by INXS, wearing dark eye make up and surrounded by dancers.
Louis told him, 'Every week you bring it, you're happy, you can sing, you can dance - Marcus, you've got everything', while Tulisa added: 'You really nailed the Halloween thing tonight, you look like you were having fun and when you do, everyone else does too.'
Strutting her stiff: Misha B came out to a funky rendition of Soft Cell's Tainted Love
Diva: Misha rocked a Grace Jones style look for her performance
Alexandra told him he had a 'great look' and his proud mentor Gary added: 'You totally delivered, mate, well done.'
Up next was the self-proclaimed diva Misha B, who has made the headlines this week after Tulisa and Louis accused her of backstage bullying on last week's show.
But her head - and her hair - held high, she came out sporting a Grace Jones style quiff and sang a throaty version of Soft Cell's Tainted Love.
Haunting: Throaty Irish singer Janet Devlin sang her own version of The Police's Every Breath You Take
Louis told her she was a 'rare talent vocally' while Alexandra said she never disappointed vocally but she wanted to see more of her.
Gary told her she was 'out of the stratosphere' while Tulisa apologised for last week and said: 'You were born a star and everything I say to you is because I want you to be the best you can be.'
Irish singer Janet Devlin was up next and sang her rendition of The Police's Every Breath You Take, which Louis said he found 'very haunting'.
Cocky? Frankie Cocozza performed The Clash song Should I Stay Or Should I go surrounded by female dancers....
... but the judges said they were concerned about his off-stage antics and that he wasn't taking the competition seriously
Alexandra said she did a 'fantastic job' and she wanted to 'cuddle' her, Tulisa said she loved her energy but Gary said he was concerned that everyone knew what to expect from her and hoped the public would stay interested.
It was then the turn of ladies man Frankie Cocozza who decided to make his grand entrance through the audience surrounded by screaming girls to perform The Clash's Should I Stay or Should I Go.
But there were mixed reviews from the judges as Louis told him, 'you've got your swagger back but you're always gonna be known for your antics off stage than on stage.'
Spinning around: Kitty Brucknell came out on stage on a magician's wheel
Cabaret: Despite the judges singing her praises, Alexandra stirred the pot and got into a mini spat with Louis after she said Kitty could fall into the cabaret genre
Alexandra told him she had a problem with him because she didn't think he was taking it seriously but Gary jumped to his act's defence and said: 'Don't worry, she's only here for one night. I think we found the sweet spot with you tonight.'
It was then the act that most had been waiting for and it came in the shape of Kitty Brucknell, who had decided to open her performance spinning round on a magician's wheel as she sang the Eurythmics classic Sweet Dreams dressed in a sexy ringmaster's costume.
She's only been here five minutes! The former X Factor winner tried to put Louis in his place after Kitty's song
Tulisa told her: 'Every week you pull a new trick out the bag, you are the most inventive, and for me you're the least manufactured, you bring yourself to the stage.'
Gary told her he was glad that she had brushed off coming in the bottom two last week and added: There's definitely this flavour with you, people either love you or hate you and what they hate you for - being a diva, the ferocious ambition - that's what I love your for.'
And Alexandra added: 'You've got some pipes on you, you are very entertaining but worry it could come across slightly cabaret' - a comment that caused her to have a mini row with Kitty's mentor Louis Walsh.
Performance of the night: Gary praised his act Craig Colton for his version of Adele's Set Fire To The Rain
And last but not least of the ten acts remaining was Craig Colton, who sang Adele's Set Fire To The Rain which his mentor Gary simply said was 'the performance of the night'.
Louis told him: 'A great musical performer, everyone's voting in Liverpool tonight, you are now a contender.'
Tulisa added: 'This guy could sell albums but my only criticism is I'm starting to find it a bit predictable, I want you to shock me and do something different.'
