Alicia Keys sparkles in sequins and sheer top for the final night of her Set The World On Fire tour in New Zealand

There were no flames but there was certainly lots of sparkle when Alicia Keys took to the stage in New Zealand in a very festive outfit.
The 32-year-old singer wore a sequined silver top with a sheer under layer for her performance at the Vector Arena in Auckland on Thursday night, ensuring that all the lights in the house lit her up like a star.
Keys looked like a true diva in high-waisted trousers with a patent leather belt as she rocked across the stage shaking her now iconic bouffant hairstyle.

Piled on her head in a 50s-inspired upsweep, the style that was originally created by hair guru Adir Abergel has given the R&B singer a fresh, fierce image over recent months.
Underneath her glittering cropped top was a sheer see-through layer that stopped her from showing too much flesh and reached all the way to her palms, hooking over each thumb.
Wearing curve-kissing black trousers that cut off just before her ankles and high heel peep-toe sandals, the Secret Life Of Bees star's modest outfit was a refreshing change to the barely-there costumes of performers like Miley Cyrus.

The Girl Is On Fire singer has teamed up with soul star John Legend for a sell-out tour Down Under that has already drawn in audiences in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth.
Thursday was the final night of the global extravaganza that has had Keys on the road since March, with Legend joining her for the Australasia leg late last month.

Despite nine months of almost continual performances, Alicia didn't seemed to be burned out as she flew across the stage belting out her hits into the microphone with her arms stretched out.

Last week, Keys took the opportunity to pay tribute to South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela by singing a moving rendition of Redemption Song by Bob Marley. 
'We wanted to do something special for you in honor of the great Nelson Mandela, who I feel so moved by in every way,' said Keys reported music site Rap Up. 'What an incredible life lived and what an inspiration for us to all carry forward.'
Keys performed for the former President at the Mandela Day concert for his 91st birthday four years ago. 'I was in awe of a man whose soul was filled with an effortless and rare love that only comes once in a lifetime,' she told the audience.
'He was a gentle man with a beautiful smile, and deep eyes that always saw the best in humanity. His legacy lives on in all of us.'

Having been living out of suitcase for much of 2014, recently opened up to Marie Clare magazine answering '20 Questions' about her life.
When asked what brings her the greatest joy, she replied: 'My family. I lie in bed with my husband (music producer Swizz Beatz) and son, Egypt, and have little musical moments, which I love.'
While it has taken an army to keep her show on the road, Alicia believes that every woman should travel alone at least once.
'Go on a trip totally by yourself. For me, that was going to the pyramids in Egypt.'
