Her new
album is just months away from release, but Pixie Lott has taken a break
from her current promotional campaign while she pays a visit to the
67th annual Cannes Film Festival with boyfriend Oliver Cheshire.
The
23-year-old singer caught the eye as she climbed aboard a sprawling
yacht moored in the harbour on Saturday – not least because of her
daring monochrome ensemble.
Pixie
had opted to show off her slender torso in a zebra print bra-top – and
little else – as she prepared for a Total Management and Mr. Porter
luncheon.

The
songstress matched it with a roomy black skirt, while her long flaxen
locks remained partially hidden and well shaded beneath a wide brimmed
hat that oozed retro seventies chic.
A
pair of strappy sandals completed the look and gave Pixie’s ensemble an
additional flash of colour as she posed for photos with handsome model
Oliver shortly after arriving.
The
couple appeared to be in high spirits on the day, with the singer
sharing a joke with her beau as they sipped obligatory glasses of
champagne.

Oliver
cut a good-looking figure in a smart check shirt and chino trousers,
with shades and a pair of slip-on loafers rounding things off.
Lunch
meetings aside Pixie has good cause to be in Cannes having wisely
chosen the South of France as the backdrop for her next music video.
On
Wednesday morning she posted a photo on Instagram with the caption:
'Waiting for our flight to South of France to shoot the next vid'.

It appears
that Pixie's new single is likely to be a big summer anthem and one
that will hopefully do better than the album's lead single, Nasty, which
peaked at #9 in the UK singles chart.
While
the stylish starlet has never felt a pressure to dress a certain way to
conform to industry standards, she recently explained that 60s icons
Brigitte Bardot and Edie Sedgwick are her style heroines.
Speaking
to the Daily Mail's YOU magazine, Pixie said: 'I’ve never felt
pressured to dress a certain way. It’s tricky. I would never go to
extremes.
High spirits: Pixie was in a cheerful mood as she soaked up the sun on Saturday
Stylish pair: The couple certainly had their resort wear wardrobe down to perfection
No shoes: Pixie kicked off her sandals while on the boat
'But
I’ve definitely done videos that are more raunchy than others just
because of what the song is about. I love everything about the 60s. I
love Brigitte Bardot and Edie Sedgwick as style icons, I love the whole
fashion from that era.
As
for her personal life, Pixie has been dating Cheshire for three years
now and they make their relationship work by staying in contact via
Skype when she is working overseas.
The pop star insists though the two are still 'too young' to consider tying the knot anytime soon.
Don't mind me: There was no missing Pixie during her latest outing
