A confident Jessica Mauboy works the camera in a shorter-than-short minidress. She has blossomed from the cherubic 17-year-old we met on Australian Idol in 2006, who at size 12 was infamously told by judge Kyle Sandilands to "lose the jelly belly."

Today, she has every reason to shine - since coming runner-up to Damien Leith, Mauboy scored a record deal with Sony BMG, sang with the Young Divas and released her debut album, Been Waiting, on Nov. 22.

A part of an interview I found about Jessica from Marie Claire ::

How would you describe your style?
When it comes to entertainment, I love all of the glitz and glamour, but when I'm not on stage, I just wear jeans with high heels or wedges - I love wedges!

Whose style do you admire?
J.Lo definitely. And Beyonce as well. When I'm not working, I'm into more casual style as well.

Have you worn any great clothes performing?
I loved the Kym Ellery dress I wore for the album. It was organised through my record label, but when I saw it on the rack I said, "Yep, that's the dress".
