She is known for her retro style.
And Pixie Lott has continued to go back in time with her stage debut as Marilyn Monroe in a new production called Who Killed Marilyn?.
With her platinum blonde hair, scarlet lips and that white satin dress, the pop star, 35, wowed the West End crowd on Saturday with her portrayal of the American actress.
The singer lit up the stage in an off-the-shoulder gown inspired by the iconic one Monroe wore in 1955's The Seven Year Itch.
Lott completed the look with the unmistakable blonde wig and a lashing of the late star's signature fire engine red lipstick.
The new production, written by Sharleen Cooper Cohen and directed by Philip Wm. McKinley, sets out to examine the woman behind the legend, revisiting Monroe's life and her death, which was officially ruled a probable suicide from a barbiturate overdose.
Lott recently said of the role: 'I am absolutely thrilled to be stepping into the iconic shoes of Marilyn Monroe for Who Killed Marilyn?

'I have always loved Marilyn, she is such a fascinating, timeless legend, and bringing her complex story to life on this beautiful stage and being her every night is an absolute dream come true for me.
'I can't wait for audiences to experience the mystery, the glamour, and the raw emotion we will be pouring into this incredible play.'
Monroe was found dead at her LA home in the early hours of August 5, 1962, at age 36.
The play leans into the conspiracy theories that have dogged her passing for over 60 years, from claims she was murdered over her alleged affairs with President John F Kennedy and brother Robert, to theories of an organised crime mob cover-up.
For Lott, who has been married to model Oliver Cheshire since 2022, with whom she shares two sons, this will be her second foray into theatre.
The star, who shot to fame aged just 18 when debut single Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) hit number one in 2009, played Holly Golightly in the West End's Breakfast at Tiffany's in 2016 to positive reviews.
The mother-of-two, who has also been back in the charts this summer with new single Dance Like No One's Watching, is joined by a seasoned West End cast, including Benjamin Dilloway, who plays her second husband, playwright Arthur Miller.

Back in 2016, the star revealed that she longs for the days before the digital era when celebrities were able to retain a sense of mystery and their lives weren't broadcast over the internet.
Speaking to Harper's Bazaar in a quirky quick-fire questions round, the singer admitted that she would love to be stuck in a lift with Marilyn Monroe for that reason, as there's so much we still don't know about the iconic figure.
'I feel like she has so many secrets,' the star said.
'Back in those days the stars weren't as accessible.
'There wasn't Instagram or Twitter and you wouldn't know what they were doing.'
