Sinead O'Connor donned traditional Islamic dress for her appearance on RTE's The Late Late Show on Friday.

The singer, 52, wore a bright red abaya and a matching hijab as she prepared to be interviewed by host Ryan Tubridy.

The Nothing Compares 2 U star looked in high spirits ahead of her appearance on the long-running chat show.

Sinead arrived early at the studios in Dublin with her 15-year-old son Shane Lunny on Friday afternoon.

The musician dressed in an all blue ensemble as she enjoyed a hot drink outside the venue before heading inside to commence the interview.

For the outing, Sinead wore a long-line blue shirt teamed with wide-legged trousers and a pair of blue trainers with white platforms.

She also added a long navy cardigan as well as a headscarf.

Sinead was joined by her lookalike teenage son Shaun, who kept it casual in a black sweatshirt and tracksuit bottoms.

He also rocked a pair of Nike trainers while arriving with a bright red dress draped over his arm, which may have been his mother's outfit for the interview.

Earlier this year Sinead reported that her son had gone missing from their Dublin home for three days before being found 'safe and well'.

Shane disappeared in January and the singer launched an appeal to find him and Gardaí Police eventually asked for the public's assistance to trace him.

The Irish performer, who recently converted to Islam and changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt, then wrote on Twitter that he 'has been located safe and well'.

The songstress initially posted on social media to ask for help in tracking down her son, who she said was last seen at on Friday, in Woodpark, Dublin.

'My sweet 14 yr old son has been going missing a lot and is currently missing for the last two days,' she wrote in a Twitter post.

'If you are a parent in whose house he has been staying or is staying, please call Dundrum Gardai.'

'Not calling them is not helping him,' she wrote on Twitter.

The appeal was retweeted by some of Sinead's thousands of followers, who offered their support and prayers.

Sinead, who has been married four times, has four children in total.

Last October, the singer announced she changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt following her conversion to Islam.

She wrote on Twitter: 'This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam.

'Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada.'
