The Pussycat Dolls’ recording line-up was Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt. Since March 2026 the group has been a trio of Scherzinger, Roberts and Wyatt. The Pussycat Dolls were founded in Los Angeles by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995 as a neo-burlesque troupe and became a pop group after a record deal in 2003.
The group disbanded in 2010, announced a reunion in 2019 (without Thornton) that was cancelled in 2022, and returned as a trio in 2026. Here is every member with her years in the group.
Nicole Scherzinger – Lead Vocals (2003–2010, 2019, 2026–present)
Nicole Scherzinger was the lead vocalist of the recording group. The heavy emphasis on her caused internal conflict, and she is one of the three members in the 2026 reunion.
Ashley Roberts (2003–2010, 2019, 2026–present)
Ashley Roberts was part of the original recording line-up, the 2019 reunion and the 2026 trio.

Carmit Bachar left before the release of the group’s second and final studio album, Doll Domination (2008). She returned for the 2019 reunion.
Jessica Sutta (2003–2010, 2019)
Jessica Sutta stayed until the group went on hiatus and was part of the 2019 reunion, but not the 2026 trio.
