Or perhaps just away from the window in an atmospheric film noir, whatever mystery Alicia Keys managed to convey in this stunning black dress… it was certainly beguiling.
The Girl on Fire, who turned 32 today Madrid’s 40 Principles Awards, was like a blast from the past in the stunning fitted gown that tapered into an interesting diaphanous bodice that looked a bit like a bra.
Siren:
Alicia Keys looked like she’d stepped from a film noir in her sensuous
attire for the 40 Principles Awards Photocall held at El Palacio de los
Deportes in Madrid, Spain on Thursday
Her hair was pure ’60s and set off nicely with a pair of chain-link earrings.
And unlike Taylor Swift, who changed from her stunning Kaufman Franco gown into preppy brogues and sweater, Keys took her sultry look onto the stage.
The mother-of-one swapped her dress for trousers but kept the theme of the look by wearing a sheer black top that showed her bra while she performed and accepted the rather impressive Best US Composer of the Last Decade award.

Strike a pose: Like Taylor, Alicia was no wallflower when it came to showing her form
Themed: Keys stayed with the same look as she accepted the award for Best US Artist and Composer during last ten years

After premiering her new film The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete at Sundance, Keys set out to honour the Madrid crowd as they had honoured her.
She opened with New Day and performed some of her latest hits including Girl on Fire and Brand New Me, and was serenaded by the crowd with Happy Birthday.

Teamwork: Keys and Spanish star Alejandro Sanz performed their duet Looking for Paradise together
She later joined Spanish superstar Alejandro Sanz onstage to perform their bilingual collaboration Looking for Paradise.
Her husband Swizz Beatz wrote: ‘Happy Bday to my Wife! A person who celebrates everybody, but hardly ever celebrates her self today is all yours.’
Birthday girl: What better way to celebrate their big day?
Accolade: Keys was given a high honour in Madrid and lived up to it in spades
Stunning: Her black and blue outfit looked incredible, and Alicia changed up to gold earrings
Alicia performed a blazing rendition of her hit song, Girl On Fire.
Belting out the words and hitting the keys on her piano, the stunning star had the audience captivated.
Alicia even altered the lyrics of the song especially for the President, singing that it Obama is on fire.

that it was indeed the President who was the one which was on fire
Please don’t go: The crowd certainly didn’t want the singer to exit the stage following the performance
As she walked out to deafening cheers, she waved to fans and beamed from ear-to-ear.
Alicia, who was also joined by her husband Swizz Beatz and their two-year-old son Egypt in Washington D.C, was certainly excited to be part of the celebrations and had been tweeting several pictures earlier in the day.
