She is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with her estranged husband Stephen Belafonte, following 10 years of marriage.
But brushing off her marital woes, Mel B made sure to command attention as she put on an extremely eye-popping display while attending a Mary J. Blige concert in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
The former Spice Girl set pulses racing in her VERY sultry sartorial choice that not only teased a look at her ample assets but left her pert behind on full view, thanks to its sheer design.
The glittering gown undoubtedly turned heads as Mel made her way into the venue, accompanied by a slew of male pals, including celebrity hairdresser Gary Madatyan who she has been romantically linked to of late.
Mel, meanwhile, has denied she is dating again and recently confirmed that she is 'single' while appearing on America's Got Talent, but her latest ensemble will no doubt have seen the starlet grab attention.
It featured a perilously low-cut neckline that perfectly framed her plentiful bust, along with risque cut-out detailing around the torso, teasing a look at the talent judge's gym-honed physique underneath.
Boasting a one-sleeved design, Mel's sleeve billowed out around her arm while the skirt of her form-fitting frock left her lengthy pins on display, thanks to its daring thigh-high split at its centre.
All eyes, however, were firmly on Mel's behind, as the back of her revealing dress appeared to bare her derriere, leaving very little to the imagination as a result.
Not only did it unveil her peachy posterior - giving onlookers a lot more than they bargained for - the gown displayed Mel's slender legs and revealed that she had chosen to forgo her bra for the evening.
In a bid to add some extra height to her ensemble, Mel favoured a towering pair of complementing strappy heels, yet her dress was left trailing out behind her on the ground below.
She sported an immaculate beauty look and styled her cropped lightened tresses into a sleek slick back style.
Mel appeared in high spirits during her outing, despite new claims recently surfacing ahead of her final divorce hearing.
Her estranged husband Belafonte claimed in an explosive new legal declaration that she had battled a cocaine and alcohol addiction which impacted their marriage and Mel's ability to care for her three children.
The declaration, said to be backed up by text messages between Beverly Hills marriage therapist Dr Charles Sophy, the former Spice Girl and Belafonte, details the bitter fall out between the ex couple after they separated and how Belafonte feared for the 'safety' of Mel's three children.
Reports claim Mel had failed in an attempt to have the explosive documents sealed at a recent court hearing - she had filed for divorce from the film producer in March earlier this year.
According to Belafonte's declaration, included in a shocking court filing obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com, the America's Got Talent judge was said to have a 'habitual and consistent' addiction to cocaine and alcohol.
Belafonte, details the bitter fall out between the couple after they separated and how he feared for the 'safety' of Mel's daughters; Phoenix, 18, Angel, 10, and six-year-old Madison (whom she shares with Belafonte).
A source told DailyMail.com that Mel's drug and alcohol abuse were the real reason for the separation and that Belafonte was blind-sided by the star's subsequent allegations of domestic abuse - something which he had denied and referred to as a 'smear campaign'.
In the declaration, Belafonte, 42, says: 'The biggest reason for my concern with respect to the safety of the children was due to the Petitioner’s habitual and consistent addiction to and abuse of cocaine and alcohol.
'To make matters worse, my fear for the children’s safety was amplified due to the fact that Petitioner had fired the children’s nanny, who had been in the children’s lives sine 2010 and I did not want Petitioner using drugs and drinking around the children especially without anyone else present to care for the children.
'Petitioner’s drinking and drug abuse had been a major issue throughout our marriage and was witnessed by the nanny, the children, and her own therapist, Dr Sophy.'
The former Spice Girl fired nanny Lorraine Gilles and later accused her of sleeping with her husband behind her back and even falling pregnant with his baby, claims Belafonte and the nanny have denied.
The revealing three-way text message exchanges between Mel, Belafonte and their marriage counsellor came at the height of their troubles shortly after they had separated in March 2017.
In the text messages seen here, Dr Sophy is seen on the messages as 'Dr Sofey', Belafonte is 'baby' and Mel B is 'Mother 2014'
The texts reveal how mother-of-three Mel agreed to take a daily dose of prescription drug Antabuse to tackle her alcoholism, which according to Dr Sophy, would prove she would be 'safe' around her children, the paperwork states.
Belafonte states in the document: 'During the text exchange...in order to try to ease my concerns, Dr. Sophy, a mandated reporter, informed me that he would try to control Petitioner's alcohol and drug abuse and that he and Petitioner made an agreement regarding Petitioner's "substance abuse", as well as "child safety".
In a follow up text, Belafonte expressed concern about his chidren, adding: 'What about my kids she took them for (sic) me yesterday and I do not have any idea where they are or who they're with.'
Mel responded: 'We are in a gated community called the summit they are very excited and happy.'
The text messages have been released as part of a filing at LA Superior Court on Friday.
In his declaration Belafonte hits out at his ex for her 'unilateral and calculated' decision to try to restrict his relationship with Angel - whom she shares with actor Eddie Murphy.
