Nicole Scherzinger posed for backstage snaps covered in fake blood after her Broadway performance at Sunset Blvd on Thursday.

The former Pussycat Doll singer, 46, took photos with ballerina Misty Copeland and actor Taye Diggs while still dressed as her character Norma Desmond.

Nicole, dripping in fake blood and wearing her long black dress, appeared to be in good spirits as she hugged the stars after her performance.

Misty, 42, looked incredible in a sheer blue blouse and blue wide-leg jeans.

She completed the look with black pointed boots and accessorized with a black belt and minimalist jewelry.

Taye, 53, looked stylish in a black dog print top paired with a white and orange cardigan.

Nicole also posed for a snap with her Sunset Blvd co-star Tom Francis, 25, who wore an all-black ensemble.

The actress received five standing ovations for her incredible performance on the musical’s opening night.

Ahead of the show, Nicole shared a snap on Instagram of herself with Andrew Lloyd Webber and Jamie Lloyd as they rehearsed ahead of opening night.

She wrote, “I’m making my Broadway debut tonight.” I can’t believe it. Little Nicole has been waiting for this her whole life. And I can do it with this beautiful cast @sunsetblvdmusical and these two heroes of mine @andrewlloydwebber @jamielloyd’.

At the London premiere last year, Nicole initially played the role of Norma, with West End legend Rachel Tucker acting as her replacement.

She and her co-star Tom both won an Olivier for their efforts, and Tom has appeared on Broadway with the Don’t Cha singer.

Nicole and Tom are also joined in the show by London co-stars Grace Hodgett-Young and David Thaxton, all of whom made their Broadway debuts.

Nicole recently admitted that after her pop career, she initially felt “outcast” by the industry despite her success in the theater.

She told People: “I’m (46) years old.” I’ve never been stronger – physically, mentally and emotionally. I’m in my prime. There is no better time for me to create work that matters in this world.

“That’s the tragedy: You’re at the best in your life.” You’re so full, you’ve got so much to give, and people have discarded you and dismissed you and said, “Your time is up…”

Nicole then stressed that it was her “lifelong dream” to make it to The Great White Way, having appeared in shows such as Cats and Rent since her pop heyday.

Nicole’s success at the London Run on Sunset Boulevard didn’t go entirely smoothly as she stumbled on her way to the stage during the awards ceremony.

After kissing her fiancé Thom Evans, Nicole carefully made her way to the stage at the Royal Albert Hall in her daring dress.

Presenter Hannah Waddingham helped her up the steps, but as she reached the top the actress stumbled and actor David Oyelowo reached out to help her.

This came after Nicole received five standing ovations for her incredible performance on the musical’s opening night
