There was certainly murder on the dancefloor as Sophie Ellis-Bextor killed it on stage as she performed at the Barclaycard Presents Isle Of Wight Festival on Friday. 

The singer, 44, wowed onlookers in a teeny hot-pink sequin leotard that highlighted her toned pins.

The figure-hugging one piece featured a beaded detail along the hem while Sophie also wore a silver chain necklace.

The If I Can’t Dance hitmaker added height to her frame with a pair of orange glittery thin-strapped stilettos.

As well as silver chains across the star’s chest, another quirky detail of the outfit was its long floral patterned ribbon sleeves.

Cascading from the dress’s shoulder pads, the pink, blue, and purple satin tendrils covered the tops of the Murder On The Dancefloor hitmaker’s slim arms. 

Sophie wore her brunette tresses in a half-up half down do and opted for bold purple eyeshadow and thick eyeliner.  

She looked energised as she sang her heart out on stage, delighting a selection of the 50,000 expected festival attendees. 

Sophie was one of Friday’s main acts, which also included The Clause, Courteeners, OneRepublic, and Sugababes. 

The festival’s headliners, punk band Pulp, also performed on Friday night.  

The Barclaycard presents Isle of Wight Festival is taking place at Seaclose Park, located in the Newport area of the Isle of Wight. 

The traditional curtain-raiser of the UK festival season, the Isle of Wight Festival’s origins go back to 1968, when it gained a reputation for being Europe’s version of Woodstock.

The first festival, held at Hells Field near Godshill, saw around 10,000 revellers attend.

Saturday’s action on the Main Stage will see the likes of George Ezra, The Chemical Brothers, N-Dubz, Anne-Marie, Sam Ryder, Gabrielle and Scouting For Girls.  

Although there was no Isle of Wight Festival for more than 30 years post-1970, it was relaunched in 2002 by music promoter John Giddings.  

In 2023, the festival kicked off on Thursday and will finish up on Sunday. 

Groove Armada were the first artist to headline the Main Stage on the Thursday of the event, with LF System, Oh My God It’s The Church and Lottery Winners providing support on the opening day.   

On Sunday June 18, the final day of the Isle of Wight festival in 2023, there will be headline performances from Robbie Williams, Blondie, Niall Horan, James Bay, Mika and Ella Henderson. 

A host of other artists will feature across four days, including Sabrina Carpenter, The Human League, Example, Manic Street Preachers, Flo, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Enemy, The Reytons and Gang of Youths. 

A full list of every act performing at the Barclaycard presents Isle of Wight Festival this year can be found on the event’s official website.
