Heidi Range flashes her legs in flirty skater dress and fluffy bolero as she attends Cirque Du Soleil launch with boyfriend Alex Partakis

Singer Heidi Range looked cute when she arrived at the new Cirque Du Soleil KOOZA show launch at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Tuesday night.
Arriving with her handsome boyfriend Alex Partakis on her arm, who was suited and booted in a smart grey ensemble, the Liverpudlian appeared to have pulled out all the stops. 
The 31-year-old, who once topped the charts with Freak Like Me, wore season-appropriate attire consisting of a flirty black skater dress which showed off her legs.

Making sure she was dressed appropriately for winter, she threw on a fluffy black bolero over the top, which gave her ensemble some sass.  
She matched the look with a blue, sequin-lined handbag, stilettos and deep burgundy lipstick, with a slick of gloss over the top.
Her boyfriend, who she was introduced to by mutual pals, complemented her attire with his smart and trendy style.

Together, they formed a glamorous couple who seemed delighted to be at the celebrity bash.
Heidi was set up with her man in a gym, by his friend and a trainer and she told Now magazine that her pet pug Bettie follows him all arond the house.
She said: 'Bettie's obsessed with him. She follows him into the shower - he can't escape. And when he's watching TV she sits on his head.'

Former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan launches her solo career with intimate gig

Going it alone: Former Sugababe Keisha Buchanan launches her solo career with intimate gig

She left the all-girl group almost two years ago and said she was going to be pursuing a solo career.

Having been in the studio for the past 18 months, Keisha Buchanan finally debuted the fruits of her labour with a solo gig last night.

The pop star, 26, launched her solo career with a small intimate performance at the Jacques Townhouse in central London in front of a few select celebrity friends, fans and the media.

Scroll down for the videos...

And Keisha went down a storm as she sang songs from her debut album including Beautiful Mess and Carried Away.

She also sang a fantastic cover of Beyoncé's Run The World (Girls) which she mashed with Cyndi Lauper's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, delighted the crowd.

And paying tribute to her former band, and the group that shot her to fame, Keisha also launched into a medley of Sugababes songs including Push The Button and Overload.

Overload was the band's debut single in 2000 when Keisha was in the band with Siobhán Donaghy and Mutya Buena.

But last night was all about her and she had been on her Twitter page all day excitedly Tweeting about the night to come.

She wrote: 'Wow exciting day ahead! Im shaking but i feel the support so its really helping..Errr A LOT! lol Mwah 2 all my followers, Thx 4 ur tweets X'

And clearly it had gone well for the Londoner as she took to her page after the gig and wrote: 'Wow thank you so much for all ur messages of support. Im cryin! lol

'Last night went well & im gonna post the link for those who missed it X'

And she looked sensational in a very short asymmetrical white dress, her hair wrapped up in a bun on the top of her head which she finished off with a pink and white flower.

It was all change for the microphone, however, as she kept it sexy by slipping into white lacy shorts and a floral strapless top.

In the crowd were a few famous faces all there to support Keisha, including actress Jaime Winstone, TV presenter Laura Whitmore, wearing an owl pendant necklace by Lavish Alice and model Tolula Adeyemi.

Designer Jasmine Guinness also attended as well as actress Preeya Kalidas.

Keisha was a founding member of the Sugababes when they formed in 1998, and when Siobhan left in 2001, she and Mutya welcomed Heidi Range into the fold.

In 2005, Mutya walked away and she was replaced by Amelle Berrabah, but four years later, and after 11 years in the band, Keisha also parted ways.

She issued a statement that said: 'I'm sad to say that I am no longer a part of the Sugababes. Although it was not my choice to leave, it's time to enter a new chapter in my life.

'I would like to state that there were no arguments, bullying or anything of the sort that lead to this. Sometimes a breakdown in communication and lack of trust can result in many different things.'


New member number two: Mutya left and Amelle Berrabah stepped in her place and four years later, Keisha called it a day and Jade Ewen replaced her
