Doja Cat and Chris Martin were raring to go as they took to the stage to rehearse their upcoming performances for the Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, New York City on Saturday.
The American rapper, 28, looked nothing short of sensational in a gold and silver diamond embellished fringe dress.
The stylish ensemble boasted a V-neckline, silver and gold fringe detailing, and semi-sheer panels at the bust and sides.
The Paint The Town Red hitmaker commanded attention on stage as she added inches to her frame with a pair of nude heels.
Having her tattoos on full display, the singer was in her element as she put on the performance of a lifetime ahead of the festival.

Meanwhile, Coldplay frontman Chris, 47, cut a more laidback figure for rehearsals as he sported an off-white T-shirt and dark grey trousers.
He completed his look with a pair of casual chunky trainers and sported a black baseball cap which boasted the word 'Kiiid' at the centre.
The singer seemed in high spirits as he relaxed on a step and strummed on his guitar.

Chris's appearance at the Festival comes after Ticketmaster came under fire yet again, but this time it's Coldplay fans who have fallen foul to the ticket-selling site.
Fans of the British band were hoping to nab tickets to the six UK shows that will take place next summer on their record-breaking Music Of The Spheres World Tour.
Yet with general sales starting at 9am on Friday, fans were left in a last-minute struggle because Ticketmaster announced that customers would need to authenticate their account - only to not send out a verification code.
Those who made it through were shocked to be notified that there was 'limited availability' within minutes of the sale starting, with fans accusing the site of selling too many tickets during Thursday's presale.
Not everyone was upset, however, with ticket touts who had managed to nab tickets quickly to list them for resale at prices of more than £1000 each.
It's the latest drama Ticketmaster has faced after the site's 'dynamic pricing system' came under fire for rocketing the price of Oasis tour tickets to as high as £355.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, moments before tickets were released, frustrated fans explained they hadn't received any codes and were therefore unable to purchase anything.
Fans shared: 'Not again Ticketmaster, tried to log in for 8:30 only to be met with “change your password first” then “authenticate your account” and now I’m still waiting for a code that hasn’t come through and therefore I can’t join the waiting room! #coldplay #ticketmaster';
'Love that is asking me to put a code to authenticate my account but is not sending the code #Coldplay'; 'Trying to enter the waiting room and it wants to verify it's me....no validation code coming through.'
'ticketmaster saying I need a code to verify my account and then just not sending the code??? make it make SENSE #coldplay';
Within minutes of the ticket sale going live fans who were able to join the queue were also shocked to receive notifications saying there were 'limited tickets' available.

They shared: 'I'm 35,000 In the q. Am I wasting my time, tickets sold out by then??? #coldplay #coldplaytickets'; 'I spent all day in presale queues yesterday; I joined the waiting room at 8:30 today. I’m already getting this message at 9:05 for the general sale gutted! #Coldplay #Ticketmaster';
'They’ve sold most during pre sale limited tickets already #Coldplay'; 'would be good to know why all ticket types are already extremely limited 2 mins before general sale has even started #coldplay #ticketmaster';
'Joined the queue for Coldplay at less then 8000 and within 5 minutes it comes up with “tickets are extremely limited” whyyyy would you basically sell out your presale so no one can get them on general sale'; 'ticketmaster is actually diabolical, tickets go on sale at 9am and are practically sold out by 9:02am? #coldplay #Ticketmaster';
'i’m not religious but i truly believe there is a special place in hell for people who buy concert tickets and resell them two minutes after their purchase for inflated rates #Coldplay #Coldplay2025 #Ticketmaster'.
A Ticketmaster spokesperson told MailOnline: 'As anticipated, millions of fans are accessing our site today for Coldplay's record-breaking tour so have been placed in a queue. The queue is moving along as fans buy tickets.
We always advise fans sign up and verify their account in advance. More advice can be found here: https://discover.ticketmaster.co.uk/music/coldplay-uk-tour-2025-how-to-get-tickets-62729/

It's the latest drama Ticketmaster has faced after the site's 'dynamic pricing system' came under fire for rocketing the price of Oasis tour tickets to as high as £355
Ticketmaster is currently facing an investigation from the competition watchdog over the Oasis concert ticket sales drama.
The Competition and Markets Authority said fans 'may not have been given clear information about ticket prices' as they struggled to snap up tickets for the Oasis Live '25 tour earlier this month.
Watchdogs are also set to assess whether concert-goers were pressured into buying the tickets within a short space of time and at a higher price than they thought they were going to pay.
It came after Oasis appeared to blow up some of the goodwill built up by fans over 15 years in a matter of days after announcing the reunion tour - as would-be concert-goers hit out at 'dynamic pricing' that doubled standing ticket prices.
Scalpers also appeared to scoop tickets in bulk and placed them on resale websites for vastly inflated figures.
An investigation being launched does not mean Ticketmaster has definitively broken consumer law.
