Barefoot Nicole Scherzinger steps out covered in blood while wearing a silk dress as she turns her West End costume into a Halloween look

Nicole Scherzinger brought gory and sexy to Halloween on Sunday as she stepped out barefoot with a bloodied neck covered in wounds. 

The Pussycat Doll, 45, is currently playing Norma in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard at the West End’s Savoy Theatre. 

And Nicole brought her famously blood-soaked character to life for the Halloween weekend, taking to the streets of London while still in character. 

Her character ends the play covered in fake blood after committing a murder – and as a spooky treat Nicole took the act one step further as she headed off to a private party in London. 

Despite the gory appearance, Nicole made sure to bring a sexy element to her look, donning a black silk slip dress that clung to her sensational figure as it was soaked by the blood.

With her hands, neck and forehead smothered in blood, she struck a variety of poses that implied her head was loose on her neck after being ‘slit’. 

She kept her hair loose to maintain the ‘dishevelled’ yet still glamorous appearance, while she walked barefoot to emphasise Norma’s descent into insanity.  

Even despite the fake wounds, Nicole still looked radiant with full glam make-up underneath the thick lashings of blood.

Nicole’s new role marks her return to the stage, eight years after she was nominated for an Olivier Award for her portrayal of Grizabella in Cats.

And her musical comeback has been heralded a success by Daily Mail reviewer Luke Jones who gave her a five star review.

It said: ‘The classically romantic score remains, melting over a slightly clunky plot about a reclusive, deluded silent movie star who ensnares a young writer called Joe, so he can polish her comeback screenplay. Over the course of two-and-a-half hours she loses her marbles, and he loses his life.

‘Director Jamie Lloyd, who’s been toiling at his stripped-back and moody style of revival for years, has finally hit the sweet spot. No lavish costumes, no intricate set. Just live camera work, a ferociously big star, and an even bigger band.

‘The lighting is almost exclusively bright white, which designer Jack Knowles harnesses in the most magical way. It pulsates, hides and reveals, using the thick stage mist.

‘Dominating the view, though, is an enormous screen, giving us haunting, live close-up shots of the actors in front of us… melodramatic glances, fluttering lashes and big bulbous tears. Scherzinger even delivers a pouty over-the-shoulder look right down the barrel.’

In June the singer announced she was engaged to Thom Evans, 38, after he popped the question in Portugal after three years of dating. 

Nicole took to Instagram to share snaps of the moment the rugby player got down on one knee during a trip to Vila Nova de Gaia. 

Nicole aptly captioned her post: ‘I said yes,’ along with a ring emoji. 

The snaps showed the moment Thom got down on one knee with the ring, and the moment they embraced after she said yes. 

Struggling to hide her shock as Thom got down on one knee, Nicole stunned in a blue and white paisley dress for the memorable moment.

Nicole first met the ex-Glasgow Warriors player when she was a judge on a celebrity edition of the X Factor in 2019 – and they soon hit it off.
