Jade Thirlwall cut a striking figure at her Polyester Magazine Launch Party on Wednesday night wearing a £500 Jean Paul Gaultier écorché dress.

The Angel Of My Dreams hitmaker ensured all eyes on her in the stunningly realistic long-sleeved red dress which showcased human musculature.

Jade had guest-edited the summer issue of Polyester in which she spoke to powerful women such as British Vogue Editor In Chief Chioma Nnadi.

She also interviewed It girl Richie Shazam, activist and author Mikaela Loach, and singer Lana Lubany (pictured) all of whom joined Jade at the launch.

For the cover of Polyester, Jade posed topless and used a copy of her issue to protect her modesty.

It comes after Jade became the final member of Little Mix to go solo when Angel Of My Dreams dropped on Friday.

Speaking about releasing solo music for the first time, Jade said: 'We were together for 11 years. So every album cycle, I knew what to expect. But this process has been so different… 

'I was so conditioned for so long to have that pressure of churning out music that I really had to reprogram myself to just exist with a less chaotic mindset and less pressure.

'My whole life had been scheduled. Little Mix would always have a year-long diary in place. To not have that anymore was so scary. But once I got over that, I was like: "This is really exciting. Now I write the diary."'

Jade rose to fame in the band after their formation on The X Factor in 2011 alongside Leigh-Anne, Perrie , and Jesy Nelson before they disbanded in 2022, following the departure of Jesy in 2020.

The group switched from Simon's label Syco to RCA during the recording of their fifth album LM5 following a reported falling out with the music mogul.

In her debut single, Angel Of My Dreams, Jade sings, 'sold my soul to a Psycho' which sounds very similar to the ex label.

MailOnline contacted Jade's representatives, Syco Entertainment and Simon's representatives for comment.

A representative from Syco said: 'The entire team who worked incredibly hard behind the scenes with Little Mix to help make the group a success would, I'm sure, always continue to wish them solo success.'

In 2020, Jade claimed Little Mix leaving Simon 's Syco record label 'f****d over' the group.

The quartet wanted to encourage female empowerment through their music but felt they were prevented from doing so under their previous label with their former boss.

Speaking to The Sun , Jade said: 'We did a little bit but we had a switch of labels during the LM5 process and that really f***ed us over. It was harder to put all our creativity out there in the way we would have liked.

'The LM5 album was very heavily on women's rights and our experiences in the industry. We're sort of cruising at the moment. That period in our careers was quite troublesome.'

Jade said the group have learned to stick to their laurels since their earlier days in the industry.

She said: 'I feel like now we're in a good place — we're with RCA and we're working on a new record, which is really exciting. We've learnt to really stick to our guns and do what we believe in.'

At the time, Simon insisted he 'never fell out' with the group and that tensions between himself and Little Mix's management, Modest Management, led to an 'embarrassing row' over a songwriting credit for their track Woman Like Me .

The music mogul even branded the girls 'the hardest working bunch' he has ever worked with. 

It has since been reported that Little Mix earned an impressive £10m in 2019 alone after leaving Simon's music label in 2018.

Accounts from their firm Eternal Dance Media Limited showed the singers made £6m in 2019 – a £2 million increase from a year earlier.

While paperwork for Eternal Magic Touring Limited is also said to show the four stars paid themselves a dividend of £4.6million in 2019.

When considering the two figures together, the band managed to rake in more than £10million for the year.

At the time, it was reported that the band had earned a staggering £28.5million since winning The X Factor back in 2011.

The girl band was formed in 2011 after they each auditioned for The X Factor as solo singers.

Their first album DNA peaked inside the top 10 in ten countries including the UK and US, and the four women quickly soared to international fame.

Angel Of My Dreams appears to take aim at Simon Cowell's entertainment company Syco, which managed Little Mix, with the lyrics 'sold my soul to a Psycho'
