She's proven that she can sing, dance and judge a live TV talent show, but Tulisa Contostavlos has just shown off a different side to herself in Abu Dhabi.

Holidaying in the United Arab Emirates, the 'Young' singer shared pictures of herself checking out the country's grand Sheikh Zayed mosque while draped in an embellished hijab.

Clearly, Tulisa was taking note of the mosque's strict dress code rules that ensure women - whatever their nationality - dress in Emirati traditional clothing at the place of worship.

In typical whirlwind Tulisa style, the 27-year-oldĀ returned to Instagram again just a day later to indulge fans in a picture of her relaxing on a yacht in a tiny bikini.

Looking toned and tanned, it seems Tulisa is enjoying some relaxation after more stressful times of late, and the singer was clearly feeling reflective during her trip to the UAE as she posted positive messages to her Instagram account.

Still in the UAE on a break, there's no doubt we'll have more to see from the former X Factor star.
