She has without a doubt enjoyed somewhat of an image transformation over the last few years.

And none more so on Wednesday night when she put on a futuristic performance for fans at the launch of her new EP.

Charlotte decked herself out in UV paint and colourful lights as she sang her new tracks for the gathered crowd at Riverside studios.

Hey Neytiri: Charlotte Church looked inspired by Avatar when choosing the make-up look for her performance at her EP launch

Wait it's Ursula! The singer was then covered by tentacles of lights that made her look a bit like a Sci-Fi version of the Little Mermaid character

As well bubble machines and a UV light show, the former opera singer's Sci-Fi inspired costume was controlled by the audience, who seemed to be able to change the colours as she performed.

The event was called 'Entanglement' after the EP's lead track and the scientific theory it was inspired by.

The crowd were given UV make-up and glowing accessories as they entered the event, so that they lit up beneath her neon light installation. London Contemporary Voices choir provided backing vocals for the performance.

Fans: More people had turned up to the EP launch than her video shoot

Big night: The performance occured at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith

After the show on Wednesday, Charlotte was spotted in the same waterproof coat she had worn for her new music video, and a bright smile on her face.

Gone was the Avatar-like paint and futuristic costumes, leaving the 28-year old looking fresh-faced
as she headed home, no doubt back to her two children.

Comeback: Charlotte has released three EPs since 2012, with Four out on March 10

Jumpsuit: Charlotte wore a boiler suit during one part of her set

To fund her lifestyle: Charlotte said she needs to make more money to continue living the way she is living

Beneath the anorak she wore a pair of loose fitting polka dot trousers with Dr Marten boots and she slung a large black handbag over her shoulder.

The mother-of-two looked in high spirits and the day before tweeted: ‘Got the incredible DJ Emma Islet opening my show in London tomorrow night. Can't wait! @emma_daman.’

Her comeback arrives just as Charlotte admits she can't afford to fund the lifestyle she has grown accustomed to.

The singer, who was down to £11m by 2010, said she has enough to live comfortably - but needs to find a new way to fund her extravagant lifestyle.

She said: 'I've got enough to be comfortable if I was reasonable for the rest of my life but I'm not reasonable, so I will have to find a way to sustain my lifestyle.'

EP Four is out now on Alligator Wine Records

As she flits between musical styles, she might consider how some artists strive for "authenticity", to be taken seriously in their genre. Names such as Bob Dylan or Bruce Springsteen might come to mind, just because they've stuck it out, not darted from one thing to another in a desperate search for fame.
