Stepping out: Pixie Lott sported a vintage themed minidress for a night out in Newcastle on Friday evening

It has been announced that the singer will take the leading role as Holly Golightly in a stage adaptation of iconic movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Pixie will appear in a three-month long stint of the comedy and it will be her first leading role in a West End production.

Mirroring Audrey Hepburn's famous stills from the film, Pixie dipped her black cat-eye sun glasses as she posed for the cameras in a series of promotional snaps accompanying the announcement.

The starlet - who is currently dating British model Oliver Cheshire - wore a contrasting dress that featured a black cut-out crop pinned to a white skirt with a baby blue flower pattern.

She also opted for heavier Hepburn-style eyebrows keeping the rest of her make-up to a neutral palette for a fresh-faced and glamorous look.

Playing around for the shoot she brought along a furry feline to perfectly mimic her character Holly's own pet, which she famously named Cat in the novella.

The role represents a considerable jump for the young songstress who is currently starring as a guest in a current production of Puttin on the Ritz.

Originally a novella by Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's became a worldwide sensation after being turned into a film in 1961, where it launched the career of the legendary actress Audrey Hepburn.

'Alongside music, I've always wanted to be in a play, and getting the opportunity to be in one of my all-time favourites and play this fabulous character is a dream come true.'

The Mama Do singer will take to the stage in Richard Greenberg's adaptation from March 3, where the production will travel on eight dates around the UK.

UH OH: Pixie Lott opens up to Miquita Oliver about the hazards of pap flashbulbs [PH]

While partying with Miley Cyrus last week, the Nasty singer ended up exposing more than she intended thanks to the pesky paparazzi.

The 23-year-old has opened up about the perils of an innocent Kodak moment turning into an impromptu flesh-baring fest with just one flash of a photographer's camera.

In an interview with 4Music presenter Miquita Oliver, Ms Lott confessed that celebs have more to worry about than the clichéd question 'does my bum look big in this?' while selecting an outfit for a red carpet event.

“You always have to be careful about the nipples and boob situation”

When asked about the white gown she wore to the BRITs, Pixie flushed: "It was last minute as I was really stuck. It was backless so you always have to be careful about the nipples and boob situation."

Revealing further #firstworldprobs, Pixie continued: "With the flashes you just never know what's going to come out in the pictures.

"I tried those nipple petal things, but you look through the dress and you can just see circles. Which is worse!"
