Nicole Scherzinger Says It Was Uncomfortable To Wear Risque Outfits During Pussycat Dolls

As a devoted fan who has followed Nicole Scherzinger‘s incredible journey since her days with The Pussycat Dolls, I find myself deeply moved by her recent revelations about her discomfort during those times. It’s heartening to see a star of her caliber, who brought such vibrancy and energy to the stage, speak so candidly about her struggles with body image and hypersexualization in the industry.


During their acts, The Pussycat Dolls have consistently highlighted bare skin. Nicole Scherzinger, who added a lot of allure to the stage, has admitted that she frequently felt uneasy donning the revealing costumes while she was part of the band.

2003 saw the addition of Scherzinger to Robin Antin’s musical collective. Although she is no longer associated with the group, The Pussycat Dolls consisted of Kimberly Wyatt, Melody Thornton, Jessica Sutta, Ashley Roberts, and Carmit Bachar. This band swiftly rose to fame with chart-toppers like “Don’t Cha” and “Buttons,” captivating audiences not just with their tunes but also their eye-catching stage outfits.

In a chat with Vogue, Nicole Scherzinger opened up about feeling uneasy in the revealing costumes donned during her days with The Pussycat Dolls. She explained, “I simply didn’t feel at ease wearing those outfits because I was primarily a singer.” Over time, Scherzinger has cultivated her unique style and prefers to reveal less of herself. She acknowledged her stylist, Andrea Lieberman, for aiding her in discovering her personal fashion sensibility, which she likened to a fusion of Gwen Stefani and Will.i.am’s styles.

Looking back at the history of the music industry, Scherzinger pointed out that women were often sexualized to boost record sales. She elaborated by saying, “Initially, the concept of the Dolls was about being sexually attractive for others. However, today’s women find their sex appeal in self-love and acceptance. True strength lies in loving and embracing oneself.”

Previously, Scherzinger has shared her struggles with body dysmorphia and feelings of not fitting in within the group. Although she emphasized that she was not taken advantage of and had control over her decisions, the situation remained awkward for her.

2019 saw the Pussycat Dolls reassemble for a tour, but unfortunately, this tour had to be called off due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In an interview with US Weekly, Nicole Scherzinger reminisced about their short-lived reunion, stating, “I’m genuinely pleased with how we managed to regroup. The pandemic halted our tour plans, but we still reunited to release ‘React’ and performed it on The X Factor. I felt proud of that moment because we hadn’t been together in about a decade, and then we got back together for just a week and delivered an amazing performance.”

Regardless of any issues within their band, Nicole Scherzinger has consistently expressed positive sentiments towards her ex-band members. Currently, she is gearing up for her Broadway premiere, appearing in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s production of Sunset Boulevard.
