Jade Thirlwall cut a stunning figure at her Polyester magazine launch party on Wednesday night in a £500 Jean Paul Gaultier écorché dress.
The “Angel of My Dreams” singer made sure all eyes were on her in her realistic red long-sleeved dress that showcased human musculature and sported bleached eyebrows.
Jade guest-edited Polyester’s summer issue where she spoke to powerful women including British Vogue editor-in-chief Chioma Nnadi.
She also interviewed It girl Richie Shazam, activist and author Mikaela Loach and singer Lana Lubany (pictured), who joined Jade at the launch.
For the cover of Polyester, Jade posed topless and wore a copy of her number to protect her modesty.
Jade Thirlwall, 31, cut a striking figure at her Polyester magazine launch party on Wednesday night in a £500 Jean Paul Gaultier écorché dress.
The Angel Of My Dreams hitmaker made sure all eyes were on her in an incredibly realistic long-sleeved red dress that showed off human musculature.
Jade, who sported bleached eyebrows, had been a guest editor for Polyester’s summer issue where she spoke to powerful women including British Vogue editor-in-chief Chioma Nnadi.
This comes after Jade became the latest member of Little Mix to go solo when Angel Of My Dreams was released on Friday.
Speaking about releasing solo music for the first time, Jade said: ‘We were together for 11 years. So, every album cycle, I knew what to expect. But this process has been very different…
‘I was so conditioned for so long to having that pressure to produce music that I really had to reprogram myself to just exist with a less chaotic mindset and less pressure.
‘My whole life was planned out. Little Mix always had a diary for a year. Not having one was scary anymore. But once I got over that, I thought, “This is really exciting. I’m writing the diary now.”
Jade rose to fame in the band after forming on The X Factor in 2011 alongside Leigh-Anne, Perrie and Jesy Nelson before disbanding in 2022 following Jesy’s departure in 2020.
The group switched from Simon’s label Syco to RCA during the recording of their fifth album LM5 after an alleged falling out with the music mogul.
On her debut single, Angel Of My Dreams, Jade sings “I sold my soul to a psychopath,” which sounds very similar to the name of her former label.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Jade, Syco Entertainment and Simon for comment.
She also interviewed It girl Richie Shazam, activist and author Mikaela Loach and singer Lana Lubany (pictured), who joined Jade at the launch.
Mikaela looked fabulous in a pink short-sleeved jumpsuit which she paired with dark pink Dr. Martens boots.
Jade admired the artwork of herself holding Polyester magazine in which the cover showed Jade holding the same Polyester magazine.
A Syco representative said: ‘I’m sure all the team who worked incredibly hard behind the scenes with Little Mix to help make the group a success will always continue to wish them success on their own.’
In 2020, Jade claimed that Little Mix’s departure from Simon’s record label Syco “f***ed” the group.
The quartet wanted to promote female empowerment through their music, but felt their previous label with their former boss prevented them from doing so.
Speaking to The Sun, Jade said: “We did a bit of it, but we changed labels during the LM5 process and that really screwed us up. It was harder to show all our creativity in the way we would have liked.”
“The LM5 album focused a lot on women’s rights and our experiences in the industry. We’re kind of on a cruise right now. That period of our careers was quite troubled.”
Jade said the group has learned not to rest on their laurels since their early days in the industry.
She said: “I feel like we’re in a good place now – we’re with RCA and we’re working on a new record, which is really exciting. We’ve learned to stick to our guns and do what we believe in.”
At the time, Simon insisted he “never fell out” with the group and that tensions between him and Little Mix’s manager Modest Management led to an “embarrassing row” over a songwriting credit for their song Woman Like Me.
This comes after Jade became the latest member of Little Mix to go solo when Angel Of My Dreams was released on Friday.
Little Mix formed on The X Factor in 2011 with Jade, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson before disbanding in 2022 following Jesy’s departure in 2020.
The music mogul even called the girls “the hardest working group” he’s ever worked with.
It has since been reported that Little Mix earned an impressive £10 million in 2019 alone after leaving Simon’s music label in 2018.
Accounts for their company Eternal Dance Media Limited showed the singers earned £6m in 2019, up £2m from the previous year.
While Eternal Magic Touring Limited’s documentation is also said to show the four stars paid themselves a £4.6m dividend in 2019.
Taking the two figures together, the band managed to raise more than £10 million for the year.
At the time, it was reported that the band had earned a staggering £28.5million since winning The X Factor in 2011.
The girl band formed in 2011 after each of them auditioned for The X Factor as solo singers.
Their first album, DNA, reached the top 10 in ten countries, including the UK and US, and the four women quickly rose to international fame.
Angel Of My Dreams appears to take aim at Simon Cowell’s entertainment company Syco, which managed Little Mix, with the lyric “I sold my soul to a psychopath”.
