Lil' Kim Makes a BIG Fashion Faux Pas As She Performs Comeback Gig In London

After eight years away - doing plastic surgery, prison, and feuds - Lil Kim is back with a bang! 

The 39-year old was making what amounted to a comeback at London's The O2 on Friday 22nd November as she prepares to release a new mixtape entitled Hardcore 2K13, next week.

Given that it is a comeback of an artiste I expected to hear a lot about how awesome the singing or rapping was; how she put up a great performance; or at least something about the music. What rather made the news was her choice of outfit, which I must say was 50 shades of AWFUL!!!

The Brooklyn-born star - whose real name is Kimberley Denise Jones - sported a bizarre ensemble which looked far more Halloween than comeback queen as she took to the stage with her band and backing dancers. 

The top piece seemed to be a belted bodice with a visible bra top, complete with tied cuffs and a huge trail. She teamed this with huge, over-sized, red knickers which looked mightily uncomfortable for any woman to wear - not least because it revealed some unflattering, and seemingly painful, camel toe.

She capped the look with thigh-high boots and several pieces of 'bling' jewelery, plus Geisha-like make-up on her face. More pics after the cut...
