Working it! Fergie struts her stuff in busty black dress as she heads to recording studio wearing colour co-ordinated outfit

They say the world is a stage.

But, for chart-topping singer Fergie, it seems that it's perhaps more of a catwalk - as she proved when she cut a dash through Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.

The 40 year-old star was spotted heading to a studio in West Hollywood, where she's currently working on her new album.

Keeping it simple for the recording session, she wore a figure-hugging dress which showed off her ample cleavage and gym-fit figure. 

Showing off her tanned legs via a thigh-high slit, she dressed it down with some bejewelled sandals and a leather-effect jacket.

Fergie, real name Stacy Ann Ferguson, completed her look with a pair of designer sunglasses and a generously sized black handbag.

Looking sexy as she navigated Santa Monica Boulevard, she certainly had a spring in her step.

In July she opened up about her new album, admitting that she has not been rushing for its release, because she wants to get it right with it being her first solo effort since 2006's The Duchess.

'I've been taking my time on it because I keep discovering old ideas I had from back in the day which are suddenly relevant,' she revealed.

'But I need to keep it on the down-low for now – although there’s going to be appearances from all the latest cutting-edge acts. will.i.am is on board and has helped out, which I know fans will love.'

Collaborator Charlie Puth did recently give fans a rather obtuse hint about one of the album's songs.

'Picture My Humps 2015,' the 23-year-old said of the upcoming single's sound, referencing Fergie's 2005 hit with The Black Eyed Peas. 

He added: 'Fergie is so talented. She's such a genius. My mind was completely blown when I was in the studio with her.'

In the meantime, fans can snap up her latest fragrance Outspoken Party, a fun and flirty scent with raspberry and sandalwood notes.

'All of my fragrances are about being fearless in different ways and Party speaks for itself – it’s no secret that I’m a party girl. 

'I love to have a good time, so this celebrates that', Fergie said.
