Nicole Scherzinger Embraces the Leopard Print Trend in Ruched Midi Dress on ‘Live With Kelly and Mark,’ Talks ‘Sunset Blvd’

Nicole Scherzinger favored one of fall’s trendiest prints on Monday while appearing on “Live With Kelly and Mark.” The singer stopped by to discuss her starring role in “Sunset Blvd” on Broadway, a new adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical.

Scherzinger sported a ruched leopard print midi dress, pairing it with taupe suede heels and gold jewelry, including hoop earrings and a pendant necklace. The former Pussycat Doll wore her dark tresses in a sleek updo, while her makeup consisted of rosy blush and winged eyeliner.

Speaking to hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Scherzinger shared that she has something in common with the character she plays on stage.

“I actually live right above Sunset Boulevard [in Los Angeles],” she said. “I am the modern-day Norma Desmond.”

Scherzinger also discussed what audiences can expect from “Sunset Blvd,” which is based on the 1950 film starring Gloria Swanson.

“It’s always hard for me to put ‘Sunset’ in a sentence, but it’s about a woman’s ambition, it’s about her delusion and it’s about the dark side of fame in this industry,” Scherzinger explained. “What makes our production so special and unique is the modern minimalistic take led by our fearless director Jamie Lloyd. If anyone has ever seen past productions or the film, it’s unrecognizable to that.”

Leopard print dominated runways during the fall 2024 season, with labels like Christian Dior, Isabel Marant and No. 21 dabbling in the trend. Additionally, one of the key components of the “Mob Wife” aesthetic, which took over TikTok earlier this year, is leopard print.
