The Don’t Hold Your Breath hitmaker boosted her height with nude high heels and added large statement earrings.
Nicole’s appearance at the music festival comes after she gave an update on a Pussycat Dolls reunion amid the iconic girl group being sued by their founder, Robin Antin.
Speaking to at The Wimbledon Championships this month, she admitted: ‘I love my Dolls. I love the Pussycat Dolls. So, I always say never say never.’
The Pussycat Dolls – made up of Nicole, Melody Thornton, Kaya Jones, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, and Kimberly Wyatt – officially went their separate ways in 2010.
However, a reunion tour was set to happen in 2020, but plans were dashed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Nicole continued: ‘I’m obviously in a different place in my life right now, but you never know what the future holds.’
As for whether the pop star still keeps in touch with her former bandmates, she confirmed: ‘We are still in contact.’
She added: ‘I’m really happy for the girls. I see them, I love keeping up with them on their Instagrams and everybody is just thriving and looking good while they’re doing it!’

Robin first founded the Pussycat Dolls in 1995 as a burlesque troupe before they rose to stardom as pop stars in 2005.
Then, in 2021, the choreographer sued Nicole for breach of contract, accusing the Dancing with the Stars contestant of refusing to join the tour unless she could have complete creative control and a majority share.

EXCLUSIVE
Nicole Scherzinger gives verdict on future of The Pussycat Dolls
Nicole denied Robin’s claims and has since continued to focus on her own music.
She said: ‘I’m always working on music, so I can’t wait to be able to share some of the new musical projects that I’m working on in the future. But that time will come. One thing at a time everything in its own time.’
Along with new tunes, the actress is also set to make her Broadway debut as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, after starring in the West End revival last year.
She told the Daily Mail: ‘It’s crazy, I’ve done the West End twice and I’ve never gone to Broadway. This is my very first time, I’m making my debut as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, the beautiful Andrew Lloyd Webber musical with my brilliant director Jamie Lloyd.’
The former X Factor judge noted that she is ‘so excited’ and that Broadway will be ‘a dream come true for me.’
She said: ‘I’ve always dreamed as a little girl of going to the theatre and now I’m doing it as Norma and all the stars have aligned.

In April, Nicole won for Best Actress in a Musical at the Oliver Awards for playing Norma in the West End production in London (pictured)
‘I couldn’t have imagined a better time and a better role and a better everything. So, I’m feeling really blessed and excited.’
Touching on the role of Norma, Nicole confessed: ‘It’s an extremely demanding role. Anyone who knows Sunset Boulevard knows the role of Norma.
‘I lay it out there, all on the line and I leave it all out there every single performance, but it’s a blessing because it’s what I love.
‘For me, I always say you have to do everything a hundred and ten percent. Every time you have to make it count. Otherwise, what are you doing?’
In April, Nicole won for Best Actress in a Musical at the Oliver Awards for playing Norma in the West End production in London.
In her acceptance speech, she told the audience: ‘As a little girl growing up in Kentucky, coming from really humble beginnings, I always wanted to be a singer and do musicals and I dreamed of so many roles that I wanted to do and honestly this role – Norma Desmond – was not one of those roles.
‘I was like, “What are you thinking?” But God works in mysterious ways because it’s honestly one of the ballsiest and bravest things that I’ve ever done and I’ve had the incomparable director Jamie Lloyd to thank for that.’
