Nicole Scherzinger brought bloody and sexy to Halloween on Sunday when 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 Savoy Theater in the West End.
And Nicole brought her famous blood-soaked character to life for Halloween weekend, taking to the streets of London while still in character.
Her character ends the play covered in fake blood after committing murder – and in a creepy treat, Nicole took things a step further as she headed to a private party in London.
Despite the bloody appearance, Nicole made sure to add a sexy element to her look, donning a black silk slip dress that clung to her sensational figure as it was drenched in blood.

With her hands, neck and forehead covered in blood, she struck various poses that implied her head was loose on her neck after being ‘severed’.
She kept her hair down to maintain the “messy” yet glamorous look, while she went barefoot to emphasize Norma’s descent into madness.
Despite the fake wounds, Nicole still looked radiant, with full glam make-up covered in thick streamers 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 was heralded as a success by Daily Mail reviewer Luke Jones, who gave her a five-star review.
It read: “The classically romantic score endures, melting over a somewhat clumsy plot about a reclusive, deluded silent film star who ensnares a young writer named 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 has been toiling for years on his austere and moody revival style, has finally found the sweet spot. No lavish costumes, no elaborate set. Just live camera work, a wildly big star and an even bigger band.
‘The lighting is almost exclusively bright white, which designer Jack Knowles knows how to use in the most magical way. It pulsates, conceals and reveals, with the help of the thick stage fog.

‘Dominating the view, however, is a huge screen, which gives us eerie, live close-ups of the actors before us… melodramatic looks, fluttering eyelashes and big bulging tears. Scherzinger even delivers a pouty, over-the-shoulder look all the way down the barrel.”
In June, the singer announced she was engaged to 38-year-old Thom Evans after he popped the question in Portugal after three years of dating.
Nicole shared photos on Instagram 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 photos showed the moment Thom got down on one knee with the ring, and the moment they hugged after she said yes.
While she struggled 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 met for the first time the ex-Glasgow Warriors player when she was a judge on a celebrity edition of the x Factor in 2019 – and we quickly hit it off.
