FKA twigs performed at the opening night of the V&A's Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition last night (12 March), during which she wore his eye-catching birds-of-paradise dress. Watch a clip from the perfomance below.

The exhibitition, which has already broken records with advance ticket sales, is a massive retrospective of Alexander McQueen's work, featuring more than 240 of his designs.

Last month marked the fifth anniversary of the British designer's death from suicide at the age of 40. The opening night of his retrospective was attended by Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and David and Victoria Beckham.

As well as wearing his 2008 birds-of-paradise dress, FKA twigs performed 'Two Weeks' for guests - and her performance was captured in part by fashion blogger Susie Bubble.
