Stepping up with divas from Mariah Carey to Rihanna, British newcomer Natasha Bedingfield had the privilege of taking the stage at the Fashion Rocks gala in NYC on September 5. The fashion and music themed event benefits the Stand Up to Cancer foundation, which is especially important to Nat, whose grandmother passed away from the disease when she was a kid. The show culminated with Bedingfield, Beyonce and countless other songstresses performing their new charity single en masse, “Just Stand Up.” Nat described the experience, "This is the first time we're all together singing the song. It was really special. It was really like a sisterhood, like a bond. ... We're all used to being the stars — the only star in the room — and it was really nice I think that everyone could just come together and really support each other." Supporting each other for a great cause, I might add! Sporting a very daring look, Nat swept her blonde mane to the side in a funky spiked ‘do and wore a dramatic black dress with a front slit (check out Tricia Fix’s Marilyn Long Dress in Black or the Angelina Cocktail Dress in Black) with dazzling earrings (like Castaway’s Tahitian Earrings in Gold) with funky python print heels. What do you think about this look – can rocker Natasha pull it off?
