When we hear the phrase “Pussycat Dolls,” images of leather and lingerie quickly come to mind. So, when Nicole Scherzinger is the woman in question, we last think of fluff and fairies.

But in July 2017, Nicole took a break from her Balmain-like wardrobe, departing from her fierce ensembles to rock a soft butterfly-inspired look. The former Pussycat Doll arrived for the “X Factor Boot Camp” in London in an outfit that turned heads.

Nicole strayed away from her neutrals and army greens for a more risqué color: an almost-neon pale blue. The pop star picked a ruffled skintight dress from Spanish designer Emilio de la Morena.

It wasn’t the neon shade or the ruffles that stunned us; it was Nicole’s multicolored and winged Sophia Webster “Chiara” sandals.

Another notable thing about the “X Factor” judge’s look was her summer hair. It seemed to be a mix of Kim Kardashian’s famous wet tresses and Pinterest beach waves. We have to admit, we loved it.

Nicole looked like an absolute fairy for the “X Factor Boot Camp” kick-off in London — a huge contrast to what usually happens on the show.

We’ll explain the show’s boot camp concept in case you aren’t familiar with it. The camp is designed for the early contestants of “X Factor” and prepares each participant for his or her stage run. Zayn Malik is one famous past alumnus of the program.
We were hoping Nicole would lead some of the dancing herself, but judging by her outfit, we’re guessing she didn’t.
