Turning up the heat! Jessie J and Shakira are all elegance on the red carpet, but get sexy on stage at the 40 Principales Awards
By Holly Thomas
Stars turned out for the 40 Principales Awards 2011 show at the Palace of Sports in Madrid last night.
Jessie J looked elegant on the red carpet in a black and gold playsuit, teamed with gold lace-ups and her trademark red lipstick.
She also donned an eye-catching gold jacket, to eliminate any slender chance that she could be missed as she made her entrance.
Columbian songstress Shakira showed up in a sparkly silver number, baring her toned legs with a very brief skirt.

Check me out! The Do It Like A Dude star made sure she grabbed attention
in an eye-catching gold jacketHer cute new blonde bob made quite a contrast to her old mane, but suited the 34-year-old well.
The Wanted were also in attendance, channeling understated cool as they posed on their way in.
The performances saw things steam up somewhat, with Jessie stripping off into an almost completely sheer black number complete with suspender tights, and dominatrix-style studs on her leather bra.
Stripping off: Jessie worked a far more daring look for her performance later onShe clearly enjoyed herself however, tweeting later: 'Madrid just BLEW MY MIND!!!! Argggghh that audience was CRAZY!!! I wish I could stay longer than a day :( you were EPIC #booooyyaaa :) #stompstompinspain'
Romanian singer Alexandra Stan turned up already showing a lot of skin in a tiny pair of stars and stripes emblazoned hot pants, exposing her stomach under a rock-chick style studded leather jacket.
She wore a black leotard for her performance, putting her hair up and accessorising with a pair of diamond-studded earphones.

Showing off her moves: Shakira changed into skin-tight black trousers for a dance numberShakira meanwhile switched to a turquoise dress with a jewel-studded corset and floaty skirt for one number, changing again into skin-tight black trousers and a glittering sheer burgundy lace top.
The star picked up the most influential Latin artist award and best foreign artist in Spanish language award.
She must have been thrilled as she had gushed prio to the ceremony: 'I'm so happy to be here now, this is Spain's night, the night of a country I like so much, and I'm really happy to be at the gala of prizes so important for music.'
