The hitmaker, whose 19-year marriage was officially ended in December, was said to be having the “time of her life” when she performed at Gorilla in Manchester last night.
The 43-year-old couldn’t have looked happier as she greeted fans on the first date of her tour after wowing the crowds.
Wearing her blonde tresses down in a loose wave, Louise teased a hint of her bra as she stunned in a black and gold patterned shirt.
The mother-of-two teamed her eye-catching top with black trousers and a designer belt, while opting for metallic eye shadow.

Louise Redknapp was clearly having the time of her life and seemed even more confident than her last gig
An eye-witness told The Sun: "Louise was clearly having the time of her life and seemed even more confident than her last gig in December.
"The room was so full of love and Louise soaked it all in.”
The insider continued: “The crowd erupted when she started singing Arms Around The World and you could see she how much the response meant to her."
Taking to her Instagram prior to the concert, Louise showed her gratitude while posting a saucy photo.

She captioned it: “Hi just wanted to say I’m super excited to to be getting ready for my mini tour.
“Thank you so much to those that have been incredibly supportive, and to you guys that are coming next week I can’t wait to see you there, love Lou.”
It comes after she performed her first gig in 15 years at London's Under The Bridge, where she was supported by her former Strictly Come Dancing partner Kevin Clifton.
The star has been throwing herself into work following her high-profile split from Jamie, 44, with whom she shares two sons, Beau and Charles.

Last month, the Eternal singer, who previously said she felt like a “sort of Stepford Wife” during their marriage, was granted a quickie divorce after she filed paperwork citing Jamie’s “unreasonable behaviour”.
At the time, the football pundit did not mount any defence to her application.
But a source has since told the newspaper: “Jamie is not happy he is blamed for the marriage ending by preventing her pursuing her career. She did loads of things when they were married and he never stood in her way.
“He fully supported her decision to do Strictly — even though pals warned him about the show’s famous curse for breaking up relationships.”
