Not your average silver fox! Tulisa wears white sequinned bikini during her final days of Dubai holiday

By Hanna Flint

Normally a silver fox is a term reserved for grey haired men of a certain age, but the label could apply to Tulisa Contostavlos who looked rather foxy in a white and silver sequinned bikini on her Dubai holiday.

The singer has been relaxing in the United Arab Emirates with her best friend and assistant Gareth Varey for the last couple of weeks, soaking up the sun in the hot climes.

But it would have been a cruel awakening for Tulisa, 25, as she headed back to England on Monday, with the wet and windy weather to welcome her home.

Hiding something? Tulisa showed off all her tattoos except for the 'Lucky You' etching above her bikini line

The former N-Dubz star wore a similar white bikini on her birthday trip to Ibiza, where her tattoo 'Lucky You' was visible for all to see as it poked out from the top of her low-slung bottoms.

 

But on this holiday it seems Tulisa that it was the only one of her many tattoos that she had tried to cover up.

Visible on her back is a unicorn meets Pegasus hybrid, rearing it's hooves on her right shoulder blade, while she takes strength from her own words in her lower back etching which reads: 'She is strong when she is weak, She is brave when she is scared, She is humble when she is victorious'.

These lyrics are from the intro track on her ill-received debut solo album The Female Boss.

Not letting her chart failure keep her down, Tulisa whisked herself away to Dubai where she's been enjoying the nightlife as much as the sun, sand and sea.

On one of her last nights on the Persian Gulf, the 25-year old headed to the sister club of London's Movida where she soon made friends with some British holidaymakers.

Wearing what looked like a pink Herve Leger bandage dress, Tulisa shared numerous snaps of her new friends.

But the next picture she posted was less glamorous, but more informative of the comfort those in first class on a British Airways flight enjoy.

She shared her thanks with the photo, writing: '7 hours later and I'm home sweet home! BA staff were so lovely on that flight, really helped my fear of flying'.

The truth of the matter is her career has flatlined because of her own doing and no amount of staged photo shoots is going to bring it back.
