Leona Performs for Mandela

After attending a dinner in honour of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday on Wednesday, Leona continued to sing praises for the birthday boy at a fundraising concert in his honour at Hyde Park in London.

Proceeds from the event are in aid of Mandela's 46664 charity, which is currently campaigning to raise awareness of the severity of the disease.

46664 was Mandela's prison number while he was incarcerated for his anti-apartheid views.

Leona Lewis - NewNowNext

I'm always happy when I see Leona at an event in the US. It means she's getting the recognition that she deserves.

Here she is at the NewNowNext awards this week. Leona walked away with THE KYLIE AWARD: NEXT INTERNATIONAL CROSSOVER.

Leona Lewis is Artistic

Well sort of.

Leona made an appearance at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia today where she was also expected to perform. Leona posed for the media before her performance.

This white gown is absolutely regal. Leona has admitted to finding cheap shoes easily because she is a vegan, but does that explain why she wore no shoes under her gown?

Leona Lewis at the MTV Australia Awards

Leona Lewis looked stunning this past weekend down under. She is such a pretty girl with such a massive voice. Don't care how I try I can't seem to get Bleeding Love out of my head. It's sooo darn catchy.
Leona told reporters that its easy for her to find cheap shoes because she's a vegan - so leather shoes just aren't an option. I think Ms. Lewis' shoes are pretty cutsie. I wonder if they come in a 7.5??

Hmmmm....
