They are the first girl band to make it through to the X Factor semi-finals, so it's no wonder Little Mix might be slightly concerned about their standing after the show.

So in preparation for this weekend's live shows, the girls have been doing some self-promotion, with Jade Thirlwall leading the way this evening in a nifty pair of personalised tights.

The legwear featured the letters of the band name Little Mix scattered randomly over the sheer black net.

Jade teamed the tights with a pair of black shorts and a black and white top.

She was joined by her fellow Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, as they posed for photographers at the Royal Film Performance of Hugo, a film directed by Martin Scorsese.

Having clearly embraced the cardinal rule of girl group dressing, the quartet co-ordinated beautifully in their monochrome numbers.

While Perrie opted for a pair of tight black leggings, white shirt and black leather jackets, Leigh-Anne went for a cute black and white dress with black boots and white socks.

And Jesy looked stunning in a pair of shimmery black trousers, white vest top and black blazer as the girls joined famous faces including the film's stars Sir Ben Kingsley and Chloe Moretz.

Kick-Ass star Chloe looked stunning in an all-black outfit as she posed up at the star-studded premiere with her 14-year-old English co-star Asa Butterfield.

The early 20th century period festive epic sees her play a young girl Isabel, a friend of the titular main character Hugo, played by Butterfield.

The youngster is an an orphan living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station in the early 1930s, and he must repair a damaged automaton toy to discover a message from his dead father, who is played by Jude Law.

Much of the action takes place in the station, and Chloe said she could not believe the scale of the set that was made to bring it to life for the $170m budgeted flick.

She said: 'It was a full-scale train station. It was built in two studios placed side by side, which made it gigantic.

'And they built, to scale, an actual train station. It truly was one of the most magnificent things I’d ever seen. I walked in and saw it for the first time and thought, “It’s really happening.” It was beautiful.'

The screening of the film was also attended by director Scorcese, as well as Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall.

The premiere, at the Odeon in Leicester Square, is the principal fundraising event of the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund, the trade charity for the UK film and television industries.

Founded in 1924 the organisation offers practical and financial help to more than 1,000 people and their families every year who have been affected by illness, bereavement, accident or unemployment.

Former Countdown presenter Carol Vorderman was also present at the premiere, looking stylish in a black swing-style coat.

Hugo opens in cinemas in the UK on Friday.

Regal Duchess of Cambridge attends her first Remembrance Sunday ceremony as a member of the monarchy

The Duchess of Cambridge attended her first Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph today - giving an almost faultless performance.

The occasion dictated that all royal women from the Queen down wore black - a sombre colour for a sombre occasion.

But there was still plenty of scope for making a fashion statement despite the solemn nature of the annual event which is a public tribute to all Britain's war dead.

Suitable: The Duchess of Cambridge wore a black coat with a matching bowler-style hat which reflected the sombre mood of the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Cenotaph

Royal women: The Duchess of Cornwall, the Duchess of Cambridge and the Countess of Wessex reflect on the ceremony

Kate was dressed in a black double-breasted coat by Diane von Furstenberg that sported two scarlet poppies - a look that had no significance, it just followed a precedent set by other members of the monarchy.

Her thoughts would have, no doubt, turned to her late grandfather Peter Middleton who trained Canada pilots during the Second World War in Calgary. He died last year, aged 90.

Like the other royal women the Duchess wore a distinctive hat - a small brimmed piece with a large bow by couture milliner Jane Corbett.

With the Duchess of Cornwall on her right and Countess of Wessex on her left she did not look out of place as both her companions sported striking headgear.

Also on the balcony was Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, the husband of the Princess Royal.

Protocol dictates that those married into the family, with the exception of the Duke of Edinburgh, watch from a distance.

Camilla had a large brimmed hat that appeared to be covered in black ostrich feathers while Sophie's head apparel was a saucer-style creation worn at an oblique angle.

Kate is experiencing a succession of firsts since her marriage to William in April from her inaugural foreign tour - to Canada - to events like Trooping the Colour, to celebrate the Queen's official birthday.

Today was a time for reflection but during the ceremony Kate and Sophie were seen sharing a joke which had both of them in stitches. The Countess was almost doubled up with laughter as was the Duchess.

The royal pair may have been laughing after Camilla disappeared from view below a balcony at the Foreign and Commonwealth building after she appeared to bend down to pick up something she had dropped.

Some may disapprove of the moment of light relief shared by the royals during the ceremony but Kate was clearly enjoying the occasion which may have been a moment for her to catch up with other members of the royal family.
