Scherzinger the 'Ultimate Fun Fearless Female'

Nicole Scherzinger has been named the Ultimate Fun Fearless Female by Cosmopolitan magazine.

The former Pussycat Dolls frontwoman was bestowed the award at the publication's star-studded prizegiving in London on Tuesday night.

The 34-year-old singer showed off her daring side at the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of The Year Awards in a backless white cocktail dress paired with hot pink pumps.

The X Factor judge was presented the award by finalists on the hit UK show.

'It made it so much better to have my little pumpkins up there giving it to me. They're just so sweet, it makes me so happy, God bless 'em,' she told reporters at the event.

Nicole was joined by a host of other stars on the red carpet.

Kelly Osbourne turned heads in a sheer-paneled floral dress that complimented her lavender hair.

The 28-year-old star was presented with the Ultimate Style Icon award.

Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian were named the Ultimate Confidence Queens.

But the event wasn't exclusively female.

British boy band One Direction were presented with the Ultimate Men of the Year prize.
