Natalie Bassingthwaighte dazzled as the star performer at the first-ever Mardi Gras Debutante Ball on Thursday evening.
The Rogue Traders singer, 48, pulled out all the stops while posing at the glitzy event, hosted at the Kinselas Hotel.
She showed off her incredible figure in a sheer red tulle gown with a dramatic train, worn over a cream silk corset with lace-up detailing.
Natalie, who made her Mardi Gras debut after recently confirming her same-sex relationship, gave herself a few extra inches in a pair of nude strapped platform heels.
She accessorised her bombshell look with huge statement earrings as she dressed to the nines while featuring as the ball’s guest of honour.

The festivities were hosted by Aysha Buffet and Jenna Suffern, and also featured performances from DJ Sveta Nefertiti Lanegra and Marlena Dali.
Natalie confirmed her relationship with her non-binary partner Pip in November, when the couple shared a sweet selfie smiling over margaritas.

The post, which Natalie had re-shared from Pip’s account, was accompanied by a heartfelt tribute as the pair confirmed their budding romance.
‘Appreciation post for the most incredible woman who is not only giving me strength, support, love and immense joy, but is teaching me to understand and accept that I am deserving of these things and have them within myself too,’ wrote production technician Pip.
‘She’s teaching me to breathe deeply, to trust and to be my truest self. I am so incredibly lucky and overwhelmingly grateful for you.’
Natalie responded to the gushing tribute with a series of sweet emojis, including a red love heart, praying hands and a rainbow emoji.

Just weeks before going Instagram official, Natalie had revealed she was dating a woman in an interview with Stellar magazine on November 19, but did not disclose her partner’s identity at the time.
‘I’m in a beautiful relationship with a woman who makes my heart smile and makes me really happy,’ she revealed to the magazine, as she confirmed that her ex-husband was aware of her new relationship.
It emerged in August last year that Natalie and her ex-husband Cameron McGlinchey had ‘quietly ended their marriage’ after splitting late in 2022.
The exes married in 2011, and share daughter Harper, 13, and son Hendrix, 10.
