Queen Latifah pours her curves into figure-hugging number as she joins fashion elite at New York City Ballet gala

Belle of the ball: Queen Latifah showed off her curves in a glittering blue skirt and matching top at the New York City Ballet Spring 2013 Gala on Wednesday in New York City 

She recently signed on to host her own hour-long talk show executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith.

And it appears Queen Latifah is more than ready to step back into the spotlight.

The 43-year-old dazzled in a figure-hugging glittering blue top and matching skirt as she joined the likes of Valentino and Fe Fendi at the New York City Ballet's Spring 2013 Gala at Lincoln Center in New York on Wednesday.

Kidding around: Latifah pulled a face as she flashed a peace sign for the cameras
