There was definitely murder on the dance floor as Sophie Ellis-Bextor killed it on stage when she performed at the Isle of Wight Festival on Friday.
The singer, 44, stunned onlookers in a teeny bright pink sequin leotard that highlighted her tinted pins.
The form-fitting bathing suit had a beaded detail along the hem and Sophie also wore a silver necklace.
The If I Can’t Dance hitmaker added height to her frame with a pair of orange glittery thin-strap stilettos.
Besides the silver chains across the star’s chest, another quirky detail of the outfit was the long floral-patterned ribbon sleeves.
Murder on the festival floor: Sophie Ellis-Bextor killed it on stage on Friday when she performed at the Isle of Wight festival, kicking off the UK festival season
A leggy display: the singer. 44 showed off all her slender legs in a hot pink sequined mini dress and orange shimmering strappy stilettos
The pink, blue and purple satin tendrils, running from the dress’s shoulder pads, covered the tops of the Murder On The Dancefloor hitmaker’s slender arms.
Sophie wore her brunette locks in a half-up-half-down style and opted for bold purple eyeshadow and thick eyeliner.
She looked energized as she sang at the top of her lungs on stage, delighting a selection of the 50,000 expected festival visitors.
Sophie was one of Friday’s main acts, which also included The Clause, Courteeners, OneRepublic and Sugababes.
The festival’s headliners, punk band Pulp, also performed on Friday night.
The Barclaycard Presents Isle of Wight Festival takes place at Seaclose Park, located in the Newport area of the Isle of Wight.
