Since being voted off X Factor, Rebecca Ferguson has shown something of a penchant of bizarre hats and headpieces.
And the 27-year-old star decided to keep up the trend today as she wore a cut net fascinator headband to perform at the London International Boat Show.
But despite her slightly over-the-top headgear, Rebecca, who fell at the final hurdle when she missed out on being crowned the winner of the ITV show to eventual champion Matt Cardle, looked stunning in her outfit.

Full-length and fabulous: Rebecca looked stunning in her sparkly vintage dress

As well as the headband, Rebecca wore a glamorous full-length silver sparkly gown and silver heels for the event held at the ExCeL Centre.
And it seems the mother-of-two fully enjoyed her day of glamour, checking out the latest, most exclusive vessels and meeting some of the UK's biggest boating celebrities.
She tweeted later this afternoon: 'Ok so this yacht is rather lovely gonna lay bk and pretend it's mine ha xx'

It's not the first time Rebecca has been seen sporting an outrageous hat as she wore a feathered blue hat designed by Liverpudlian milliner Hayley Marsden when she performed at Twickenham Stadium last year, and a large white headpiece for a concert in Liverpool last week.
Rebecca quickly became a style icon during her time on The X Factor thanks to her old school glamour fashion sense.
A fan of long dresses and key vintage pieces, the singer has sparked various fashion trends since leaving the show.
