Too tight a fit: Seen in New York last night, singer Alicia Keys fashionable 'body-con' dress proved a little unruly for the singer, as she resorted to tugging at the hem to stop it from riding up
Dressed in a gunmetal grey lycra number which left very little to the imagination, Alicia's clingy 'body-con' dress - one of this season's big trends - showed off her fabulous, curvy figure to great effect.
However, it appears the 27-year-old singer was finding it somewhat difficult to cope with the tightness of the sexy look.

She told Australian magazine Who: "I think that a woman is so much her curves and her many styles.

The stunning songwriter and classical pianist, was appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman in New York to promote new album 'As I Am'.
She has recently resumed her tour after swollen vocal chords forced her to to cancel concert dates.
As well as making her big screen début in Smokin' Aces, she has also appeared alongside actress Scarlett Johansson in film The Nanny Diaries.
