Nicole Scherzinger’s Bikini!

There was a time when burlesque was not TikTok mainstream. It was an outdated concept that very few people mastered. Pop stars started incorporating sultry and seductive moves into stadium tours and there was Dita Von Teese but Nicole Scherzinger is the one who figured it all out.

She was the face and body of the Pussycat Dolls, people forget there were a dozen other Pussycat Dolls singing about being hot like them, which is probably why she went onto huge success as a solo act, still committed to the art of burlesque.

She made it a household name, with girls who didn't look like bargain basement Betty Paiges. So with every hair whip, heel click, and perfectly-timed drop, she brought the Vegas showgirl sensuality to teens around the globe. She blurred the lines between pop star and stripper and gave middle America its first real taste of cabaret.

She’s retired from the big spotlight but didn't retire the body.

The only stage she needs is a stretch of Hawaiian sand. Back home in the islands, Nicole’s swapped fishnets for swimsuits and apparently the Hawaii bikini uniform works for her.

No backup dancers, no lighting crew—just Nicole half naked, still making an impact!
