Red alert ... Nicola Roberts

Later that night Nicola joined bandmate SARAH HARDING on the front row of the catwalk at the VIVIENNE WESTWOOD fashion show.

 

This time she opted for a red gown, above, for the glam bash.

 

Hours later it was time for another change for the Topshop cocktail reception and dinner at The Ivy.

 

The leather jacket made a return, this time covering a green skirt and black top.

 

Her stylists must be earning their money...

Cheryl Cole Reveals Strip Plans

By Vicky Allison and Tina Johnson

Sep 21, 2009

 

Los Angeles Lakers superstar guard Kobe Bryant and ex-maid Maria Jimenez have a court date and British beauty, singer and X Factor sweetheart Cheryl Cole has revealed just how much she is willing to strip off for a fabulous photo shoot. She says she will stay classy.

 

Cole has said she will never reveal all in a photo shoot. The X Factor judge has reportedly said she will never pose nude for a photo shoot. The Girls Aloud star said: "There's nothing tasteful about fruit covering your bits".

 

"Sometimes a beautiful dress is much more sexy than underwear." The 26-year-old added: "Have some class." Cheryl's new solo single 'Fight For This Love' is released on October 19.

NICOLA ROBERTS is owning London Fashion Week.

Hot on the heels of her three outfits-in-24 hours yesterday, she's blown them out of the water with this revealing number.

 

The usually shy GIRLS ALOUD singer chose the braless get-up for the 30 Days Of Fashion & Beauty Festival gala party at the Natural History Museum.

Cole vows never to get hair cut

 

http://newsfeed.tcm.ie/media/images/c/cherylcoleemotionalpa.jpg

 

Cheryl Cole’s long dark hair is her “safety blanket”.

 

The Girls Aloud beauty says she will never feel confident enough to have her brunette locks chopped short because a botched teenage hairstyle left her with a “moon head”.

 

She explained to Britain’s More magazine: “This is my safety blanket – it makes me feel secure. You feel glamorous when it’s long and the bigger the better for me, I’m quite obsessed with that! I had it short when Girls Aloud first started and at the time I was almost two stone overweight. I cut my hair short – bad move. Now the image I have in my mind is of a moon head with short hair, so I kind of don’t dare.

 

“I genuinely feel like my hair is the most important thing. If you’re having a bad face day or a bad make-up day, as long as your hair feels fab then you feel alright. But if you’re having a bad hair day, then you feel aware of it – if it’s kinky, or if it’s dry.”

 

The 26-year-old beauty was recently signed up as the face of the new L’Oreal Elvive haircare range.

 

Despite loving her glamorous locks and enjoying the filming the range’s advert, Cheryl says she can’t bring herself to watch it on TV.

 

She explained: “I’ve had a private screening. There was a round of applause when I said, ‘Because you’re worth it.’ It was really exciting, but I couldn’t watch it back. I can’t watch myself.”

Curvy Kimberley Walsh shows she is the last Girls Aloud star with a shapely figure

 

With her pencil-thin bandmates becoming slimmer by the minute, it would be understandable if Kimberley Walsh suddenly lost her curves.

 

But luckily the Girls Aloud beauty is embracing her shape and refusing to follow in the tiny footsteps of Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Sarah Harding.

Curves ahead: Kimberley Walsh showed off her figure at the opening of Central Perk last night, a replica of the hangout in U.S. comedy Friends

-----

Last night the 27-year-old singer glowed in a sleeveless chunky jumper dress at the opening of Central Perk, a replica of the cafe in Friends, in London's Soho.

 

She has admitted to struggling with her weight and lacking body confidence.

 

'I eat healthily and in moderation,' she said earlier this year. 'I’d put on weight easily if I wasn’t in a group doing dancing and stuff.

 

'I’m not one of the lucky ones who can eat what they want.

 

'I think I'm quite normal – not thin, not fat – and my stomach's OK because I used to dance loads.'

 

And she told Heat: 'I'm constantly on a diet. I'm not confident or comfortable with my body. I wouldn't rule out surgery.

 

'When I was growing up Kate Moss was really fashionable, that whole waif look, and I knew that I could never be like that.'

 

By contrast, her bandmates have all battled to keep the weight on.

 

Cheryl Cole plummeted to six stone after allegations that husband Ashley Cole cheated on her last year.

 

And Nicola Roberts has been looking gaunt and frail since the Girls Aloud tour.

 

Kimberley was not the only celebrity at the Friends party last night.

Cheryl Cole Goes GaGa
http://cm1.theinsider.com/media/0/440/63/CherylCole-1.0.0.0x0.359x639.jpeg
AOL Music - Cheryl Cole is "obsessed" with Lady GaGa's style.
The Girls Aloud beauty has been won over by the "Just Dance" singer's eccentric style and outfits.
She explained: "If I'm totally honest with you, I never had a style icon. But Lady GaGa is right now. I think people don't see her as conventionally beautiful but, as a style icon and an artist, I'm slightly obsessed with her. She's the real deal.
Although she is often praised for own sense of style and skin figure, Cheryl lover indulging in fattening treats and blames her tiny frame on her busy work schedule.
She explained: "Unfortunately I don't have time to exercise, but I dance a lot. When I'm on tour I think, 'Oh God, I want a couple of weeks off', but then at least you exercise. I actually prefer exercise DVDs - I can't stand the gym. I don't eat as well as I'd like to, cakes and biscuits are my weakeners. Sometimes it will get to 3pm and I'll realise all I've had is coffee. My mother has been giving me A-Z multivitamins. They're great.

Cheryl Cole 'terrified' of solo career

Cheryl Cole has admitted that she is "terrified" to be embarking on a solo pop career.

 

The Girls Aloud singer and X Factor judge told Sugar that she has always relied on her bandmates in the past.

 

Cole said: "The thing is, for the past seven years the other girls have been my safety blanket. If I forget my words on stage or something, there's always four other girls that can pick it up.

 

"Now I'm completely on my own. I wake up in the middle of the night sick with pure fear going, 'What am I doing?'"

 

She added: "Girls Aloud is becoming a bit too 'normal'. I need a new challenge, a kick up the bum.

 

"It's good to feel frightened. Being out of your comfort zone isn't always a bad thing."

 

Cole releases single 'Fight For This Love' on October 19 and her solo debut album Three Words on October 26.

And the real news about Taio and Cheryl! :)

 

Taio Cruz has revealed the truth behind his number one smash hit Break Your Heart.

 

Speaking to MTV News, the singer/songwriter extraordinaire explained to us how he originally wrote the track for a certain Girls Aloud star.

 

http://whatafeeling.org/wordpress/http://whatafeeling.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/netaiioo.jpg

 

He said: “I wrote a couple of songs for Cheryl Cole, and Break Your Heart was one of them, Stand Up was another one, which is on her album, but we sent both of the songs to her record label and we didn’t really hear back from them.”

 

The Come On Girl singer added: “We just thought if they’re not going to get back to us, we’ll just carry on moving so I took it back, and changed the verses and made it work for a guy and then put it out.”

 

“They came back to us like later and were like “oh that Break Your Heart song, I’ve been listening to it on my ipod it’s really cool! We would definitely like that for Cheryl.”

 

He continued: “We were like ‘that’s gonna be kinda difficult now, cos it’s all over the radio and we shot a video for it and everything’ so that was quite funny. But I’ve been in the studio with Cheryl and we’ve written a couple more songs for her and stuff, so it’s all good.”

 

Taio, who revealed exclusively to MTV News that track, Stand Up could possibly be Cheryl’s next solo release.

(WENN)

 

Alexandra Burke has claimed that she is very close to Cheryl Cole.

 

The singer, who Cole mentored on last year's series of The X Factor, explained that the pair talk about everything.

 

"I'm very open with her and she is with me," Now quotes Burke as saying. "I tell her lots of things I wouldn't even tell my sister."

 

Burke also praised Simon Cowell but admitted that she is still not used to talking to him.

 

"That man is the nicest man on earth," she said. "He rings me, and I'm like, 'You're Simon Cowell - why are you ringing my phone?"

 

Burke recently claimed that she gave her fans her "heart" in a Marie Claire interview.

'Finally I don't feel like the ugly one in Girls Aloud any more,' reveals Nicola Roberts

 

Stepping on to the red carpet at the Pride of Britain Awards last night, fans would have noticed a very different Nicola Roberts.

 

Posing alongside her Girls Aloud bandmates Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh - who have both recently signed modelling contracts - Nicola shone with newfound confidence as she stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her friends.

 

While her bandmates played it safe on the red carpet with little black dresses and their usual fake tan, Nicola wasn't afraid to stand out from the crowd with her striking red hair, alabaster complexion and stunning Vivienne Westwood prom dress.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder: Nicola Roberts (centre), pictured at the Pride of Britain Awards last night, isn't afraid to be different from her bandmates Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh

-----

After years of being cruelly labelled 'the ugly one' in Girls Aloud, the 23-year-old is finally feeling confident with her looks and has found her place in the fashion world.

 

Fast eclipsing bandmate Cheryl in the style stakes, Nicola became a regular fixture in the front row of London Fashion Week and has swapped her high street wardrobe for designer couture.

 

When Nicola was selected for Girls Aloud on TV show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, she felt out of place next to her tanned, glossy bandmates Cheryl, Kimberley, Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle.

 

Being compared to her bandmates, with their girl-next-door good looks, knocked the then-16-year-old's confidence.

Fashionista in the making: Nicola wore a Vivienne Westwood dress

-----

But after years in the business and experimenting with clothes, Nicola has finally built up her self-esteem and realises it's OK to be different.

 

She tells the new issue of Grazia magazine: 'I was called 'the ugly one'. A lot of girls go through an awful time growing up, thinking they're too fat, too thin, have a nose that's too big or legs too short.

 

'I did all that surrounded by four of the most gorgeous girls in the country.

 

'My thing was my white skin and red hair. I hated it and hated myself.'

Bringing sexy back: Nicola has no qualms with revealing a bit of skin

-----

It was only after a journey of self-discovery, which admittedly took several years, that Nicola began to accept her looks.

 

She said: 'I've begun to accept myself. I love my white skin, I love my hair and fashion has really been part of that journey of acceptance.

 

The Cheshire redhead admits she has become 'obsessed' with fashion and she has finally found a place she 'fits in' - the fashion world.

 

After stepping out in a variety of stylish outfits this year, Nicola really came into her own when she appeared in some daring creations at London Fashion Week last month.

Taking notes: Nicola sat in the front row alongside Rihanna at the Christian Dior Pret-A-Porter show at Paris Fashion Week on Friday :wub:

-----

Hitting back at critics who claim she is a fashion victim, the singer insists her love of style is authentic and she is still 'finding her feet' when it comes to own personal dress sense.

 

She enthuses: 'I'm just a girl who loves fashion.

 

'I'm finding my way, finding my style and whatever anyone thinks I'm enjoying myself.

 

'Everything I wear now, I wear because I absolutely love it. I think I look good in it. I feel confident and I'm having fun.'

From high street to high fashion: Nicola in a vintage jumpsuit at a London Fashion Week party last month (left) and more of a high street look as she leaves a London nightclub in 2004 (right)

-----

Nicola has cited quirky individuals in the fashion industry with making her realise it's good to stand out from the crowd.

 

She recalled: 'I remember looking round at my first fashion party a year ago and thinking, "Oh my God. This is all about odd people. This is where I fit in."

 

'The fact I have white skin and red hair is my thing. It's my different thing and in the fashion world, that's OK.'

 

Addressing recent rumours of her weight loss, Nicola concedes she is slender at a dress size six and weighing 8 and a half stone, but insists thinness runs in the family.
