Camila Cabello is leggy in a black mini dress – as she compares her blonde hair transformation to the likes of music icons Madonna and David Bowie

Camila Cabello made a fashion statement in Cannes, France, on Monday as she stepped out in a black mini dress.

The 27-year-old I LUV IT singer bared her toned legs in the item, which had long sleeves and sheer ruffles at the hemline.

The zip-up number mixed unexpected fashion elements by fusing a moto jacket collar with Western-inspired fringe.

She was headed to Complex’s dinner at L’Ecrin Plage during Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.

It was there that she discussed her recent transformation from brunette to platinum blonde, comparing her switch-up to that of music icons Madonna and David Bowie, who were known to reinvent themselves in the heyday of their careers.

‘Changing my physical appearance like my blond hair or fashion — whatever I do, I learned how exciting that is from people like Madonna or David Bowie,’ she explained at the intimate gathering, per Page Six.

The Cuban-born songstress noted that it’s important to ‘always keep it fresh for people.’

At Monday evening’s event, her locks were ironed straight and arranged with face-framing bangs.

She complemented her flirty frock with a pair of shiny black, open-toe mule heels.

The fashionista kept the look simple, opting to wear stud earrings and skip other jewelry.

Her face was beautifully made up with smokey eyeshadow, fluttery lashes and contoured cheeks.

The former Fifth Harmony member completed the cosmetics look with a matte mauve-toned lip stain.

Camila recognized that her new look and sound might be shocking to her ‘day-one fans,’ but resolved, ‘I trust that as long as I’m being me, they know me and love me for me.’ 

The pop star’s new studio album C, XOXO is slated for a June 28 release.
