She found fame on The X Factor and Diana Vickers showed she definitely has star power as she stepped out in London on Wednesday night.
The 23-year-old singer-turned-actress showed off her long legs in a pair of Stylestalker blue silk shorts and strappy sandals at the Guy Bourdin: Image Maker exhibition private view at Somerset House.
Diana completed her racy look with a sheer Stylestalker navy shirt as she checked out the offerings from Bourdin, best known for his work in French Vogue during the Sixties and Seventies.
Diana left her long blonde hair loose around her shoulders and added a pop of colour to her look with a red Chatelaine charm belt.
The popstar has recently made the move into acting and appeared in Comedy Central show Give Out Girls, her first TV acting role.
According to the official synopsis, 'It follows gang of four girls (and a couple of guys) who work in the world of promotions.They are the girls who work silly hours, dressed as light bulbs, trying to flog you stuff you don't need.
'It's a world that is instantly recognisable to anyone who has ever done a job simply to pay the rent. It's about working hard at avoiding hard work and how your colleagues by default become your mates.'
Most recently Diana starred in West End play The Duck House, alongside Ben Miller.
In the production, which tells the story of a fictional MP, Robert Houston who becomes embroiled in an expenses scandal as he switches from one party to another, Diana played Holly, the girlfriend of Houston's son.
But the story is set in 2009, when the MPs expense scandal truly blew up during Gordon Brown's term as Prime Minister and a year before the General Election.
Miller played the Labour backbencher, who in a bid to save his place in Parliament, decides to cross the floor to the right, but on the eve of his switch, the expense story hits, and soon Robert and his team are forced to spin their way out of trouble.
While Diana has moved on, she first found fame on The X Factor but has admitted she was happy that she is no longer associated with it.
Indeed she had a recent movie audition where the director had no idea who she was.
She told Digital Spy: 'It's just so refreshing to hear that and he was like, "I just thought you did an amazing audition and it wasn't until after you walked out that the casting director said that you were on it". So it's really refreshing to hear that. I don't know if it's a curse. I don't really know.'
Diana was not the only starlet at the Bourdin exhibition.
She was joined by famous faces including Jaime Winstone and Alice Dellal.

It has been claimed that veteran newscaster Michael Buerk could be the third star to walk out of the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! jungle.But the 68-year-old’s wife, Christine Buerk, has insisted that it will take more than a low calorie diet to make her husband bow out of the show early.
Speaking from Australia, Christine revealed that she felt viewers may have forgotten that Michael has been in worse environments during his career.
Sipping a glass of Sauvignon Blanc in honour of her husband while she lounged in the lobby of the Palazzo Versace, Christine said: 'Michael isn’t a quitter. I don’t see him walking out. He’s been in worse places.
‘He’s been shot at, he’s been gassed, he’s been blown up in an ammunition dump explosion, he’s seen a sound guy die, he’s seen a cameraman lose his arm.'
She continued: ‘He’s been in real reality situations that have been very tough. I would be really, really surprised if he broke.’
Christine admitted that the jungle is a testing situation but stood up for her spouse as she said: ‘It’s a strange environment, but he’s worked in all types of environments in the past.
‘He was a foreign correspondent for many years and a lot of people only seem to remember him presenting the news – but he was out in the field for years before he did the presentation job. He’s been in a lot of tough places.’
Christine played down talk that Michael is struggling with the small food portions as she joked: ‘Michael actually loves rice and beans. I was quite horrified to realise that they only get 500 calories a day in the jungle.
She added: ‘It’s not that he dislikes rice and beans, but the rations are quite low. They don’t get a massive amount of rice and beans, but thankfully he likes rice and beans.'
His caring wife revealed she had been concerned to see his gaunt frame along with viewers but she pointed out: ‘He was quite slim when he arrived. I was trying to encourage him to build up before coming out here, which he didn’t do.
‘He’s not got a lot of spare flesh on him, but he’s in good shape. I think it’s far, far healthier to be a little bit underweight than overweight.’
She insisted that his appearance has not changed too drastically in his time in jungle as she said: ‘I don’t think there’s a massive difference. I’ve been quite amused by some of the Tweets actually. They’ve said things like, “Get your top back on, Michael!”’
Christine admitted that it took Michael some time to truly get involved in the show as she said: ‘At the beginning, I thought he was rather quiet and subdued – but I think he’s really got into it now.
‘They’ve done group tasks as a team. They’ve had to work things out together as a group and use a bit of logic, which is really his bag, so I think he’s getting into a lot more now.
She then joked: ‘He does look a bit glum in there, though. With only 500 calories a day, they haven’t got enough energy to smile as well.’
When asked what it would take to make her husband quit, she answered: ‘I’m sure he’d walk if somebody died, like with Craig [Charles]. That was so awful. I can’t imagine anything else making him walk.’
Sharing her thoughts on how he would react to being the first person evicted, Christine explained: ‘To me, that’s the rather clever situation to be in because that means you get to spend more time at the hotel. It’s a win/win situation.
‘But he’s quite competitive. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s the first out.’

Authorities have found eleven mutilated corpses, many of them decapitated and burnt dumped by the roadside in southwest Mexico.The gruesome discovery was made on Thursday in the same state where 43 trainee teachers were abducted and apparently massacred two months ago, local authorities said.
A law enforcement official said the bodies were found near the city of Chilapa, an area that is known for gang violence and plantations of opium poppies.
The area is not far from the rural teachers' college known as Ayotzinapa, 43 of whose students disappeared in September and are believed to have been killed by a drug gang.
The grisly discovery came just hours before embattled President Enrique Pena Nieto was set to announce a series of measures to improve law and order in a land grappling with daily drug gang violence.
Some of the naked torsos of the corpses were burnt, photographs published by local media showed.
Nieto has been under pressure from mass protests to end impunity and rampant brutality by security forces since the 43 students were abducted.
Details of his plan have not been announced, but government officials have tried several similar anti-crime plans in the past, with mixed results.

Malia Obama, daughter of President Obama, 53, and First Lady Michelle, 50, is growing up on the world's stage, and she's resembling her mother more with every day that passes.
The willowy 5ft 9in 16-year-old has clearly inherited Michelle's tall, slender build as well her elegant sartorial instincts, and her endearingly sunny disposition.
Malia, who is currently a high school junior at the private Sidwell Friends School in Washington, D.C., has hardly put a foot wrong in terms of her graceful public demeanor - despite being at the prime age for a bout of the terrible-teens.
This year, the pretty brunette, who regularly makes public appearances with her high-profile parents along with younger sister Sasha, 13, was declared by TIME as one of its 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014.
And as for her own key influencers, her parents, Malia appears to be enjoying as normal and healthy an upbringing as is possible for a family who reside in The White House.
Malia reached a number of important milestones this year when she turned 16. She attended her first prom over the summer - the president noted that seeing his daughter in heels for the first time was 'a bit jarring' - and she started taking driving lessons.
As for whether Malia will match her mother's impressive career achievements - first in law and now as a campaign advocate - remains to be seen.
In August, several news outlets reported that the 16-year-old was spotted checking out Californian universities Berkeley and Stanford. Michelle attended Princeton.
But perhaps a career in the entertainment business could be beckoning instead, given that over the summer Malia worked as an intern on Halle Berry's sci-fi series, Extant.
One thing Malia hasn't quite nailed yet is the effervescent display of support her mother is so skilled at churning out when she's backing her husband's various public stunts.
When she attended The White House's annual 'turkey pardoning' ceremony yesterday as her father led the bizarre ritual, Malia - and Sasha - appeared to be clearly bored and unimpressed.
After the president had pardoned the designated bird, a four-month-old 49-pounder called Cheese, he asked Malia if she wanted to pet the turkey.
'Nah', she replied, in a rare departure from her usual gracious disposition. Time for another coaching session with mom?

Parents in a Danish town have agreed to spend more time in the bedroom in a bid to have more children so they can save the area's closure threatened schools.
The institutions in the town of Thy in northwestern Jutland have dwindling pupil numbers due to low birth rates.
Locals were eager to keep their local facilities such as community daycare centres and schools after being warned they would have to be closed or merged with others in the area.
So as part of a deal, local authority Thisted Council has agreed to keep the institutions open for the next four years if parents promise to create new children to fill their places.
It came after parents pleaded with the authority to keep the schools open.
Council spokeswoman Ulla Vestergaard told broadcaster DR: 'When it comes to partnership deals, it’s all about cooperating with many local actors to build up a synergy.
'It’s a cooperation, and not just with the parents. We need to get the falling birth rates turned around.
She added that politicians would actively try to stop people from moving away from the area if the parents kept up their end of the deal.
Estate agents and banks in the area also promised to convince people to stay in the town.
The deal comes after it was revealed that birth rates across Denmark are continuing to drop as women put off having children until they are older.
This has prompted the Danish Family Planning Association to teach youngsters the importance of not leaving it too late to have children as part of sex education in schools.
The average age of a first time parent in Denmark is 29, which is five years older than it was in 1970
