Jessie J directed all eyes to her new boyfriend Luke James as she performed her hit single Bang Bang with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj on Sunday night. Taking to the stage at the American Music Awards, Jessie danced with celebrities in the audience and made sure to include her singer-songwriter love. Fiercely strutting down the aisle, Jessie struck a pose next to Khloé Kardashian as she opened the song and belted out the first lyrics. The chart topper, who wore a figure-hugging, gold cat suit that flaunted her svelte figure, then made a beeline for her boyfriend in the front row. "She got a booty like a Cadillac, but I can send you into overdrive," she sang to Luke as she caressed his face and chest.

The London-born star then moved on to dance next to fellow hit makers Lorde, Sam Smith and Taylor Swift, who looked a dream in a daring, emerald green dress. All attention then shifted to Ariana who sang her verse from a chair on stage. The 21-year-old wowed as she donned a gold mini skirt and crop top, channelling a warrior goddess. Matching Ariana in an equally daring metallic gold outfit, Nicki rapped the highlight of the song. The golden trio had the crowds up and jumping out of their seats as they performed the final bit of the track together on stage.

Earlier that evening, Jessie, 26, had made her first red carpet appearance with her new boyfriend Luke. Arriving at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, the couple looked a stylish duo as they dressed in monochrome outfits. Jessie lit up the night in a crisp, white suit while Luke rocked a leather jacket, white shirt and black trousers.

The couple have previously been vocal about their blossoming relationship on social media. Sharing a photo of her and Luke on Instagram, Jessie captioned a snap from earlier this month: "My first ever official #mcm. My man. My crush. My Monday morning. So it's only right. @wolfjames." The photo was shared after weeks of speculation that Jessie and Luke were more than just good friends, and confirmed their new romance. Luke, likewise, echoed his girlfriend's sentiments by posting another selfie on the picture-sharing site with his "babe" Jessie in the background.
