Nineties pop sensation Whigfield showed off her age-defying good looks while rocking a throwback style in a new Instagram post.
Whigfield, 55, took things back to her heyday as she wore her hair in Princess Leia-inspired plaited buns – in a perfect nod to Nineties style.
The Saturday Night hitmaker, real name Sannie Charlotte Carlson, looked radiant as she posed for the selfie alongside a slew of other youthful snaps.
Whigfield became a household name thanks to her hit single Saturday night, a UK number one for the singer following its release in 1994.
It proved to be the Danish singer’s biggest success on British shores and even earned its own dance routine, which became a staple at primary school discos and family parties up and down the country.

Whigfield battled breast cancer over a decade ago and previously posted a snap of her inflamed right breast online and added that she was lucky to have left the hospital following the health ordeal.
She explained in her post to raise awareness for breast cancer: ‘Fighting breast cancer was a strange thing.
‘One moment I was living my best life making new music in London, the next I was stuck in a bubble of numbness.
‘Even though the operations and radiation therapies were tough, I got so much strength from seeing so many other patients including kids fighting this horrible disease, and many never left the San Raffaele hospital in Milan again.’
She added: ‘I hope this pic (taken during radiation therapy) Doesn’t offend anyone but helps to get checked once in while even though you’re feeling amazing. Wish you all a healthy and happy life.’
Fans thanked the singer for raising awareness of breast cancer and told her she was a brave woman. Appearing on Lorraine in 2019, the singer admitted a healthy lifestyle has helped her maintain a youthful complexion.
She said: ‘The secret is do everything different to what you did in the 90s. I sleep every night at 10, I eat healthy and I exercise everyday. I’m not a naughty girl anymore.’
She looked like she hadn’t aged a day as she posed in a skintight leather catsuit in a photo taken earlier this year

Reflecting on life away from the spotlight, Whigfield also revealed she lives on the outskirts of Milan, in the Italian countryside.
She said: ‘In the old days I was just so busy. I was sometimes promoting three singles at the same time. It was mad. Now I stop and smell the roses.’
The singer admitted she has turned her back on mainstream music over recent years, opting instead to focus on the vibrant international club scene.
She added: ‘I’ve been doing house music for the past three years. I’ve been writing music for other DJS.’
Whigfield previously said she was ‘really honoured’ that Saturday Night became so popular, but wishes she’d have been more prepared for her sudden rise to fame.
‘I wish someone would have prepared you for these things, because you’re kind of just pushed out into the whole thing,’ she told 9Honey.
‘You need a strong personality and I think you have to be sure of what you’re doing.
‘Because I love being on stage – I really enjoy it sincerely and I love the audience.’
