Singer Tulisa Contostavlos appeared to have had a Nigella-style makeover before she arrived at court in central London this morning to face a drugs charge.
The 25-year-old singer strode into Westminster Magistrates' Court in sky-high heels, coiffed blonde ringlets and full war-paint before denying one charge of supplying Class A drugs.
The N-Dubz star, of Friern Barnet, north London, is accused of setting up an £860 deal to sell 13.9g of cocaine to an undercover reporter.
She appeared alongside rapper Mike GLC, real name Michael Coombs, 35, of Enfield, north London. He too denied a charge of supplying the drug
Contostavlos, who wore tight black trousers, a black top and black jacket, was forced to disclose her address to the court after her solicitor applied for it to be withheld to prevent 'unwanted visitors'.
But chief magistrate Howard Riddle ruled 'the address must be given' after considering the application with representations from prosecutor Emma Scheer and members of the Press.
The singer told the court: 'Just to let you know, after it being read out, in the next month or so I might have to move to a new address.'
The court heard how the charge relates to 13.9g of cocaine - dubbed 'white sweets' by Tulisa as a codename for the powder when talking to Mr Mahmood.
Emma Scheer, prosecuting, said: 'This was an investigation carried out by an investigative journalist at the Sun newspaper.
'On the March 28, Mazher Mahmood met Tulisa under the pretense of her playing a role in a forthcoming film.
'There was no reference to drugs in that meeting. He again met her later on May 10 at a hotel in London
