Ashley Roberts Revives Pussycat Dolls Wardrobe
Ashley Roberts, 44, pulls her classic Pussycat Dolls outfits from storage as the group prepares for a major comeback tour. She joins Nicole Scherzinger, 47, and Kimberly Wyatt, 44, for 53 shows worldwide later this year.
In an Instagram video, Roberts beams while digging through a large bag of skimpy noughties-era costumes. She recalls precise details about each piece, showcasing her sharp memory.
Spotting a red Adidas cropped jacket, she exclaims, ‘Oh my gosh, we have to bring this back, this was so good!’ She also slips into a bedazzled black corset, nearly two decades later, proving it still fits her slim waist perfectly. ‘These, you wouldn’t be able to breathe right at first, but then eventually you would just rearrange your organs,’ she notes.
Roberts captions the post: ‘A whole lotta PCD memories in this box. Should I do a try-on video???’
Reunion Details and New Music
The Pussycat Dolls revealed their return in March, dropping their first single in six years, ‘Club Song,’ produced and co-written by Mike Sabath, known for collaborations with Raye and Jade Thirlwall.
Original members Carmit Bachar, 51, Jessica Sutta, 43, and Melody Thornton, 41, sit out this reunion. The trio celebrates the 20th anniversary of their debut album, PCD.
Sizzling Promotional Photoshoot
The group strikes bold poses in a new photoshoot. Nicole Scherzinger flaunts her figure in a black cut-out bodysuit paired with thigh-high boots. Kimberly Wyatt dazzles in a plunging black bodysuit and lace-up boots, while Ashley Roberts shows off long legs in a one-legged catsuit and heels.
Awkward TV Moment on Trio Lineup
During promotion, a U.S. TV host questions the trio format: ‘You’re coming back as a trio, not as the original group. How did you arrive at that decision?’
Nicole Scherzinger hesitates, saying, ‘Well, I mean, listen… We are just, we are like… We’re so, as women today…’
Kimberly Wyatt steps in: ‘I mean, it has been an ever-changing lineup, and this is what it looks like now in 2026. You never know what comes next. I think ultimately we’ve got to protect our peace. When something like the Pussycat Dolls has so much history, we have ruptured in the past, and right now we are repairing and on the same page with that.’
Nicole adds, ‘What I wanted to say was that we have so much love and respect for all of the women that have been part of the lead legacy of the Pussycat Dolls. And once a doll, always a doll.’
The clip goes viral, prompting Nicole to reshare it on Instagram, humorously highlighting the awkward exchange.
Band’s Turbulent History
The Pussycat Dolls disbanded in 2010, with Kimberly Wyatt citing limited creative growth. Nicole Scherzinger pursued solo success. They reformed as a five-piece in 2019 without Melody Thornton, releasing ‘React,’ but canceled a 2020 tour due to COVID-19.
Reactions from Former Members
Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta express surprise at the announcement. Jessica Sutta shares she learned publicly and was not invited despite a year of planning.
In a March 16 Instagram post, she states: ‘First of all, I want to thank everyone who has reached out with messages of support. I truly appreciate the kindness. I do want to clarify a few things. I was never planning to return under the current circumstances, and unfortunately I’m still unable to dance due to ongoing health issues. Because of that, the recent news was difficult for me.’
She continues: ‘When rumors about the three girls began circulating, I did try to reach out privately for several months. I didn’t receive a response until the night before the announcement, which meant I didn’t have much time to prepare for the reaction that followed online. As many of you know, I’ve been grieving the loss of my mom while also dealing with a neurological condition where stress can trigger severe physical pain, so the intensity of the online response has been challenging.’
