She has not always been associated with a demure approach to fashion.

But Tulisa Contostavlos looked the picture of elegance for an appearance at Southwark Crown Court on Wednesday.

The 25-year-old star looked prim in a flared belted coat which was fastened up to the neck.

The patterned coat was teamed with a pure white dress and mid-heeled monochrome shoes, while Tulisa wore her long dark locks secured with a black hairband.

She wore a calm and dignified expression – bearing a resemblance to Nigella Lawson when she attended the trial that saw her two former assistants cleared of fraud charges.

Tulisa also opted for subdued makeup with a pale-pink lipstick and a subtle beige eyeshadow.

The former N-Dubz singer is being charged with conspiring to supply Class A drugs in 2013 and will plead innocent.

The trial will begin the day after her 26th birthday, on July 14.

Last summer The Sun on Sunday released footage of the former N Dubz star seeming to arrange a drug deal for someone she believed was a friend.

At an earlier hearing the court heard that during the undercover operation, the reporter offered the singer a £3million film contract while masquerading as a movie producer.

Tulisa's lawyer Mr Rose has claimed she has joined a line of celebrities who had been used as ‘fodder by greedy newspapers’.

In a statement he said: ‘Tulisa has been charged with a serious criminal offence to which she will plead not guilty.’
