Leona

Golden goddess Leona Lewis wore a bronze metallic one shoulder gown, and a fashionable side-plait and as fashion night approached at the glamorous charity fundraiser. 

The Love Ball, she showed off her second, a poetic inking and tribute to her favorite animal, the horse. 

The tattoo which runs from the nape of her neck to her back reads: 'Their beauty captures every eye, a gift from God for all mankind, they lend us wings so we may fly, to ride a horse is to ride the sky.'  It appears to be Leona's second tattoo, although the undercover rebel may well be hiding more. Leona Lewis has taken her cue from celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, and Christina Aguilera, who also have tattoos in the same area.

The diva from Hackney has of late been channel-ling a more high fashion look. She arrived at charity event last night at the Roundhouse in North London in a bronze metallic one shouldered gown with corseted bodice and wearing her hair in a fashionable fat braided side-plait, a look hot off the catwalks. Leona's clothing choices appear to have got more daring after she slimmed down from a size 14 to a size 10 following a strict month-long detox regime. The 24-year-old singer, who has always flown the flag for 'normal', curvy women, decided to change her diet after a lengthy spell in the recording studio. She said, 'I only did the detox for a little while, but it must have kick-started something in me because everyone keeps saying: "Wow, you’ve lost weight" and I’m like: "Cool"

However, Leona Lewis says the decision to lose weight was hers and hers alone, and she has never felt under pressure from her industry to slim down. She said 'No one’s ever said, "You need to work out more. 'I put pressure on myself to stay healthy and I do want to look good, but I like to eat and I don’t like to starve myself’ Leona is following a long line of stars who have had tattoos inscribed on the back of their neck.
