Grand entrance: Pink descends onto the main stage at the Wireless Festival Her last album was called Funhouse, so it was no surprise that Pink decided to open her set at the Wireless Festival in flamboyant style.
The 30-year-old star descended onto the main stage in acrobatic fashion from a giant party style box hoisted on a crane, dressed in a plunging little black dress with a frilly red garter around one thigh.
She then ripped off the sexy dress to reveal a bejewelled swimsuit and fishnet tights underneath - much to the delight of the crowd.

Talking to the crowd, Pink said: 'There's a lot of people here. Tonight is a dream for me!'
Fans at the Hyde Park event had been hoping to see Gossip frontwoman Beth Ditto join Pink on stage after the rotund singer had previously pledged to 'help Pink out with her set' by giving her a piggy back.
Ditto asked the crowd, 'Do you think Pink will let me give her a piggy back?' before launching into Gossip's most famous hit Standing In The Way Of Control

Cheeky: Pink's outfit revealed her lean, toned figure as she performed in Hyde ParkThe 29-year-old singer opted for a hedgehog style outfit for the music event, drawing jagged lines on her face instead of eyebrows, and wore a spiky top over a black dress.
And as well as performing Gossip hits, the band also performed a thrilling version of Tina Turner's What's Love Got To Do With It.
Other acts to take to the stage included Daisy Dares You and The Ting Tings.

While Glee star Cory Monteith attracted attention from hoards of female fans who couldn't resist telling him he is 'so amazing'.
Boxer David Haye and singer Darius Campbell also caught up backstage at the Barclaycard Bar, before being distracted by pretty MTV presenter Laura Whitmore who Darius told, 'You look even better in the flesh than I remember!'
