Nicole Scherzinger is used to showing off skin but she unintentionally gave the paparazzi more than she intended on Jan. 23.

The "X FACTOR UK" judge stunned onlookers when she arrived at the National Television Awards in London in a floor-length black gown with a high thigh-slit that gave her an "Angelina leg" moment. Unbeknownst to Scherzinger, she flashed more than her toned legs- when photographers snapped shots of the brunette, her dress immediately became sheer.

The cameras' flashes exposed Scherzinger's chest and the powerful lights revealed that under the black dress with its plunging neckline, the singer was bra-less. ICamera flashes also showed that either she is well-endowed in the chest area or that the Hawaii-born beauty may have worn large nipple covers to prepare her for any fashion blunders.

Scherzinger, who was clueless as to what occurred, was all smiles the rest of the night as she sat front row at the NTA event with fellow "X Factor UK" judges Tulisa and Gary Barlow. The show was nominated for the Best Talent Show prize. "The X Factor UK" won the award every year since the category launched in 2007 but this year it did not win.

Scherzinger returned to the music studio recently and released a single as a solo artist. In an interview, she shared that she would love to have a Pussycat Dolls reunion in the future and said that she "missed" her former band mates. She appeared on a London radio station to promote her solo single "Boomerang" and professed her "love" for the Pussycat Dolls.

"I Iove the girls, I miss them, I wish them the best. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible sometime in the future," she reportedly told London's KISS FM. "But right now I'm really excited for all the hard work I put into my music to get that out."
