Yesterday their X Factor looks couldn't have been more different.
But Tulisa Contostavlos and Kelly Rowland chose similar styles for the second day of auditions in Manchester.
Both judges wore short, flirty frocks that emphasised their tiny waists and showed off plenty of leg.

Tulisa wore a black dress which had a form-fitting A-line hem and an Eighties-style skirt overlay around her hips.
The frock featured colourful ribboning around the elaborate neckline and skirt.
The N-Dubz star's chunky black heels looked a little cumbersome, but Tulisa's swept-back hair and sleek make-up were perfect.

Kelly Rowland wore a short, graphic print dress with a flouncy skirt and cut-out peekaboo neckline.
The former Destiny's Child star teamed the frock with a pair of fierce ankle boots with towering platforms and dramatic heel.
Kelly added a chunky neckline and wore her poker-straight hair out with her fringe side-swept.

Xtra Factor co-host Caroline Flack was also pictured in a short dress today, which she wore with a blazer and ankle boots.
As the UK judges knuckle down during the second day of auditions in Manchester, the drama over the US version continues to unfold.
Nicole Scherzinger's former manager told this week's Heat magazine that the former Pussycat Doll was always intended as a judge on the show.
Contrasting: Yesterday Kelly opted for a casual, cool look while Tulisa emulated Cheryl Cole's style in a white jumpsuit
Jeff Hadded told the magazine: 'In my opinion, Simon Cowell always wanted Nicole as a judge. There was never a question that she wouldn’t get it.
'Nicole was always going to be on that panel. Cheryl was just being used as a cog in the wheel to cause hype and publicise the show.'
He added: 'I had long discussions with Simon about her judging the US show and she was always a front-runner.
Stylish: Xtra Factor co-hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs were also spotted leaving their Manchester hotel on day two of auditions in the city
'Cheryl’s name never came into it and Nicole was never supposed to be a host. Her hosting the show was never even mentioned.'
Meanwhile Cowell has confirmed that the footage of Cheryl from the LA and Chicago auditions will not be scrapped from the show, according to the Metro
'It's reality TV - there's no point lying about it. It is what it is,' he said. 'But look, we didn't kill anyone.'
