Victory for the brunette brigade as Duchess of Cambridge and Pippa Middleton are named top beauty icons of 2011

Kate Middleton has been voted the top beauty icon of 2011 - beating sister Pippa into second place.

Kate, who became the Duchess of Cambridge when she married Prince William in April, came out top in a poll of 3,000 women.

The 29-year-old Duchess has become recognised as increasingly style savvy throughout the year, appearing impeccably turned-out at various public occasions over the year.

Brunette brigade: Kate won over the 3,000 women polled with her trademark glossy brown locks and heavy eyeliner, while Pippa's perfect tan and natural make up earned her second place

Always immaculately groomed, Kate has remained true to the make up and hair style she has always favoured - albeit with a little more polish as her profile grows.

Her glossy brunette locks - tended to until recently by stylists from the Richard Ward salon in London - tumble about her shoulders with a subtle curl to the ends, and her dark eyeliner, which the Duchess famously applies with her own confident hand, completes her trademark look.

In second place was Kate's younger sister Pippa, 28, who shot to worldwide fame after images of her derriere in her Sarah Burton maid-of-honour dress were circulated globally in the days following her sister's nuptials.

Like Kate, she was hailed for her signature look of dark tan, glossy lips with fresh faced make-up.

Third place in the Superdrug poll went to last year's winner Cheryl Cole, who continues to win admirers despite having kept a low profile since her departure from American X Factor.

Sara Wolverson, Superdrug Director of beauty, who commissioned the research, said: 'What is fascinating is that four of the five celebrity women to appear in the top five are brunettes, which would indicate that while blondes may have more fun, brunettes are seen to be more beautiful.

Topping the polls: Last year's winner Cheryl Cole came in third place, while Rihanna's exotic beauty won her fourth place

'Everyone in the list has a distinct look, whether it's natural beauty, full octane glamour or a love of beauty trend-hopping.

'While the majority of ladies in the list are natural beauties, we also see the TOWIE effect with Amy Childs appearing on the list for the first time with her Essex tan, hair extensions, and false nails.'

The study also found Cheryl managed to nudge her replacement on the UK X Factor, judge Tulisa Contostavlos, down into sixth place.

Pop princess Rihanna and This Morning television presenter Holly Willoughby completed the top five beauty icons of 2011.

TOP 20 BEAUTY ICONS OF 2011

1. Kate Middleton
2. Pippa Middleton
3. Cheryl Cole
4. Rihanna
5. Holly Willoughby
6. Tulisa Contostavlos
7. Beyonce
8. Emma Watson
9. Katy Perry
10. Victoria Beckham
11. Kelly Rowland
12. Lady Gaga
13. Amy Childs
14. Katherine Jenkins
15. Nicole Scherzinger
16. Adele
17. Pixie Lott
18. Angelina Jolie
19. Keira Knightley
20. Scarlett Johannson

Seventh in the list is mother-to-be Beyonce who appears on the list for the first time, while Harry Potter's Emma Watson appears at number eight on the list.

With her pixie haircut, the young actress is the only woman in the top ten with short hair.

American singer and Mrs Russell Brand Katy Perry takes the number nine spot, cited for her quirky style, while mother-of-four and fashion icon Victoria Beckham completes the top ten.

New entries for 2011 include singers Lady Gaga at 12, Katherine Jenkins at 14 and Vogue cover girl Adele at 16.

Some who appeared in last year's list failed to appear this year, with Kylie Minogue, Fearne Cotton, Leona Lewis, Michelle Obama and Gemma Arterton all falling out of the top 20.

Sara Wolverson added: 'As always our Beauty Icons survey gives a snapshot of the changing face of British beauty.

'A key change for us is the continued rise of the brunette with three quarters of the top 20 sporting brown hair.

'We can see directly how changing celebrity trends affect our sales, from the 'Duchess effect' on sales of black eyeliner, to the 'Gaga effect' causing crazy nail art and our brightest cosmetics being a huge hit all year long, and Rihanna and Cheryl Cole's flirtation with vibrant red hair causing sales to rocket.'

Tulisa toasts her close knit crew as she takes them for drinks to celebrate her PA's birthday

Thanks for all your support! Tulisa toasts her close knit crew as she takes them for drinks to celebrate her PA's birthday

She's spent the past three weeks revelling in Little Mix's X Factor win and raising several glasses to the success of the group she mentored throughout the competition.

And with the Christmas season upon us, Tulisa Contostavlos shows no sign of having any cosy nights in just yet as she was snapped out on the town again last night.

But this time, it had nothing to do with her 'little muffins' or the festive season, but gave her a chance to hang out, catch up and toast her close friends as they celebrated her PA's birthday.

Party girl: Tulisa Contostavlos smiled for the camera as she joined her friends for a birthday party in London last night

Tulisa, 23, was joined by her crew for a bash held at the Mahiki nightclub in London for Gareth Varey's birthday and by all accounts, much fun was had by all.

Tulisa and Gareth were joined by DJ Ironik - real name James Christian Charters - stylists Abuk Joseph and Mekel Bailey and choreographer Levi Hibbert, as they let their hair down and toasted his birthday.

They all looked like they were having a good time as they crowded round a bucket of drinks for photographs.

Me and my boy: Tulisa poses with Gareth Varey, her personal assistant, who was celebrating his birthday

Tulisa looked very pretty in her strapless monochrome dress with an unusual neckline, her long dark locks loose around her shoulders.

Tulisa and Gareth were seen leaving the club in the small hours looking a little worse for wear as they bundled into a waiting cab.

No wonder really, if her Tweet at the start of proceedings was a hint at what the night would bring.

All the gang: Tulisa and Gareth pose with their friends including DJ Ironik (L)

Smile! Tulisa was loving the flashbulbs last night as she posed with two friends, one of them being stylist Abuk Joseph (R)

She wrote: 'Just poured the first drink of the night for @GarethVarey 's birthday,its 10pm, we got about 5 hours to go.....this could get messy.'

A few hours later, the birthday boy himself took to her Twitter page to thank everyone, including Tulisa, for coming along and helping him celebrate, and wrote: 'THE most amazing night!!! Love my friends!!!!'

Apart from all the parties and her amazing X Factor win with Little Mix, the first group to ever win the competition, Tulisa has yet another reason to celebrate this week.

According to reports, the N-Dubz star is set to pen her autobiography, even though she is only 23.

Home time: Gareth leads Tulisa out of the club as they head for their car

According to The Mirror, she will start writing the book in January and hopes to release it to coincide with the start of the next series of the X Factor.

The story claims three publishers are fighting to sign the singer, who could make £1.2million.

In the book, Tulisa could go into detail about her feud with fellow judge Kelly Rowland and her working relationship with the likes of Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.

Show me the way: Tulisa's hair covers her face as she holds onto her friend as she heads onto the street

She will also talk about her childhood, her rise to fame with N-Dubz and will include never-before-seen photographs.

A source told the newspaper: 'Tulisa may only be 23 but she’s had an amazingly eventful life. She has an incredible story to tell – some of which has never been written about – and it’s a unique opportunity to set the record straight.'

'Tulisa’s famed for being open and up front, saying it as she sees it. There will be no skeletons left in her closet. Dannii Minogue’s autobiography was a number-one best-seller whilst Cheryl’s two last year were also top-five smashes.'

Can we go now please? Tulisa looked as though she was urging the driver to take her home as she sat in the back of the car and giggled with her friends

Little Mix fans left disappointed after X Factor winners release montage video to accompany debut single Cannonball

By Georgina Littlejohn

Last updated at 4:43 PM on 21st December 2011

They've had a pretty busy time of it since winning the X Factor three weeks ago with promotional trips, interviews and signings galore.

After Little Mix's debut song Cannonball went straight to number one, fans eagerly awaited the video to accompany the track, hoping to see the girls away from the stage and acting like real pop stars.

But after it was released today, the reception to it was rather lukewarm after fans complained it was just a hash-job of their X Factor journey.

Number one: Little Mix sing Cannonball in their music video to accompany the single - but the footage is just taken from their X Factor final performance

Like previous videos from X Factor winners, it is a montage made up of various clips from the minute they were put together as a band, to the auditions at the judges' house right through to their win.

But unlike previous videos, there are no external scenes of the girls, either singing in a studio, a back drop or surrounded by some romantic lighting.

Seen it before: Perrie Edwards starts the song - but is in the X Factor studio

Giving it her all: Jesy Nelson sings her heart out during the final

Instead, the entire three minutes and 33 seconds video is made up of a cuts job of their best bits on the show.

They have had a very busy three weeks since their victory so probably haven't had the time record a music video.

Moment of truth: The girls are led out by mentor Tulisa Contostavlos along with Gary Barlow and his act Marcus Collins

Victory: The moment the girls found out they had won the show was also used in the video

However, in previous years, the three finalists would record a video in the final week, so it could hit the music channels 24 hours after the winner is announced.

But instead, Little Mix fans have had to make do with black and white and slow-motion shots of the band from the show.

Coming together: Little Mix were known as Rhythmix when they were first put together

Seems like ages ago now! Black and white footage revisits the moment they girls found out they were through to the live final

And they took to their Twitter pages to bemoan the 'rip-off' video, with one saying: 'They have really gone all out in making the video for Little Mix's Cannonball #sarcasm.'
Another added: 'The Little Mix video is just like one of these fan videos on Youtube!'

Little did they know: As Tulisa hugged her girls, who knew they would go on and win it

Homecoming: The moment Perrie goes home to see her mother is shown again

And one other said: 'ok so wtf is the Little Mix video about, they haven't even filmed any extra bits this year like they usually do and it doesn't play Dermot.'

Little Mix made the number one slot last Sunday but face stiff competition from the Military Wives' song Wherever You Are for the Christmas Number One.

Golden Girl Tulisa takes the limelight at the X Factor wrap party

Woman of the hour! Tulisa takes the limelight at the X Factor wrap party- and boyfriend Fazer is only too happy to let her

By Holly Thomas

Last updated at 3:42 PM on 14th December 2011

Her act Little Mix made X Factor history when they became the first girl group ever to win the show.

So Tulisa Contostavlos certainly deserved to enjoy the limelight at the show's wrap party last night.

And boyfriend Fazer was only too happy to let her, taking the sideline in a reserved black suit while Tulisa stole the show in eye-catching gold.

Stealing the show: Tulisa stood out in her gold ensemble next to boyfriend Fazer at the X Factor wrap party at the DSTRKT club in London last night

Can you breathe in that? Tulisa's fitted dress didn't leave much room spare, but it certainly showcased her curves

The 23-year-old showed off her figure in the figure-hugging one-shoulder dress from online brand Forever Unique, displaying her enviable curves.

Her sparkly ensemble made quite the contrast to Fazer's understated cool.

The rapper even wore sunglasses, presumably to shield his eyes from the glare of the photographer's flashes.

The pair were thick as thieves, though Fazer hung behind a little upon their arrival, letting Tulisa take the brunt of the paparazzis' attention.

Opposites attract? Tulisa's eye-catching ensemble made quite the contrast to Fazer's laid-back black

It appears a small understanding may have taken place however, as Tulisa tweeted later on: 'And as 4 the paps opening my car doors while I'm waiting 4 friends, any pics of me shoutin 2moz its cus I told them 2 get off the door!'

Not wanting to to be misrepresented she added: 'Not because ...n yes i can guess the headlines 'tulisa throws drunken strop' believe me I wish I'd had more 2 drink after that!#toosober'

The irritation didn't appear to detract from her night's enjoyment however, as she looked cheerful throughout.

Tulisa's understandably been in the mood to celebrate ever since her 'little muffins' made X Factor history by becoming the first girl group to take home the prize on Sunday.

Not so keen on the cameras? Fazer looked a little irritated by the attention, whereas Tulisa was only to happy to flash a smile

She tweeted in the early hours of Monday morning: 'what do ya do after ur act wins the xfactor?...go 2 ur local kebab shop of course, wooooiiiiii....LOVE U #LITTLEMIX keep it real'

But while she clutched on to her beau last night, there was no sign of their band mate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night: 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the wrap party.

Proud of her little muffins: Tulisa celebrated Little Mix's X Factor victory with a kebab on the night of their win

Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

Well that's one way to be remembered! Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

By Daily Mail Reporter

It may have been Little Mix who walked away with The X Factor crown, but that's not stopping the other contestants fighting to prolong their 15 minutes of fame.

The undignified bunch turned up to celebrate the end of the series at the season wrap party in London on Tuesday night.

And it was Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis who left a lasting impression as they flashed their flesh and underwear for all to see.

Baring all: Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis gave a bit too much of an eyeful at the end of season bash

 

'Comeback Kid' Amelia forgot to match her knickers to her hair when she accidentally revealed a bit too much at the bash.

Walking along with a huge grin on her face, Amelia appeared to be oblivious as she hooked her beige dress up to reveal her under garments.

 

More demure: Amelia managed to cover up after accidentally giving her fans one last thing to remember

 

No hard feelings: Misha B and Sophie Habibis greeted each other warmly with an affectionate hug

The 17-year-old, who was also dressed in a black leather jacket, had decided to bare her legs despite the wintry weather.

And she may live to regret her choice as she grasped her blue clutch bag, as well as the hem of her skirt.

Champions: Little Mix attended the party, with glamourpuss Leigh-Anne Pinnock the only one to wear heels

But she wasn't the only contestant who made an impact for the wrong reasons at the party.

Sophie Habibis, who was one of the first to be voted off the competition, stood out in an interesting coral mini dress with frayed floorlength hem.

Celebrations: Tulisa took along boyfriend Fazer to mark her winning the show with Little Mix, but where's their N-Dubz bandmate Dappy?

Partying: Tulisa was ecstatic her girl group won the competition on her first season as judge on the show

But even the bright colour couldn't prevent all eyes heading to her chest.

The 19-year-old pushed her cleavage in to the strapless frock but her curves spilled out, revealing her black bra.

The singers were all celebrating the end of the show, which saw Gary Barlow's act Marcus Collins walk away with the runner's up prize.

Gothic chic: Kitty Brucknell opted for an all-black ensemble, but could barely see through her false eyelashes

Where's Harry? The Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack stepped out minus her One Direction toyboy

Unlike the girls, the 23-year-old Scouser managed to stay looking dapper as he arrived at the bash, wearing his trademark large smile with black trousers and top.

And 23-year-old X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos also couldn't keep herself away from the party as she celebrated her big win on her first season of the show.

Dapper: Runner-up Marcus was all smiles as he managed to keep himself covered up

Reunited: Marcus and Craig Colton grew close on the show, with the runner-up devastated when his vote was voted out

Dragging her boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Fazer along for the festivities, the singer looked stunning in a tight gold asymmetrical mini dress from online fashion brand Forever Unique.

And while she clutched on to her beau, there was no sign of their bandmate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

Still causing a ruckus: Frankie Cocozza shunned the attention, with Jonjo Kerr stepping in to help guide the wild child through the photographers

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the party.

How girls outshone the X Factor boys: Females topped vote each week but millions switch off

By Simon Neville

Last updated at 8:00 AM on 13th December 2011


This year’s X Factor series proved to be a case of Girl Power reigning supreme.

The programme has released the voting percentages for the entire series, which show that female contestants were consistently more popular than the boys.

Irish teenager Janet Devlin received the most votes in the early weeks with eventual winners Little Mix not surging through until the latter stages of the competition.

X-Factor winners Little Mix (l-r Jade, Jesy, Perrie, Leigh Ann) with judge Tulisa Contoslavos (in centre). Girls outshone the boys in this years program

In 2010, winner Matt Cardle topped the voting throughout the entire series.
But this year, three acts took turns to grab the public’s affections and lead the field.

Miss Devlin, 17, was the bookmakers’ early favourite to win the competition, topping the poll in the first four weeks.


This included securing nearly a quarter of the total votes cast in the first week of voting.

She came second in week six behind the reinstated Amelia Lily, 17, who replaced Frankie Cocozza, 18, after he was axed for boasting of drug-taking.

High performing girls: Janet Devlin, Misha Bryan and Amelia Lily stole the show at this year's X-Factor

But after a string of poor performances, including twice forgetting her words, Miss Devlin slipped back and her position was taken by Little Mix.

Miss Lily’s popularity was also confirmed in the figures, topping the poll twice and being runner-up once, as well as taking third place in the final. the overall runner-up Marcus Collins, 23, never topped the public vote.

His best performance came in week five, when he gained second place.

Misha Bryan, 19, widely thought to have the strongest voice on the show, and who finished fourth, had the most varied set of results.

In week three she came third, but a week later she was bottom of the poll.

In week seven she finished second, only to once again end up last in week eight.

The figures that really matter, however, are the ratings.

The final, which aired live from Wembley Arena in North London on Sunday evening, was down more than four million viewers on the previous year.

Outshone: Marcus Collins (left), 23 never topped the public vote while Franie Cocozza (right), 17, was booted from the show for boasting about drug taking

It had an average audience of 13.1million, according to overnight TV ratings figures. That compared unfavourably to the 17.2million who watched Matt Cardle triumph in the 2010 competition.

Indeed, it was the lowest average audience for the final of the series since 2007, when Leon Jackson won the show.

ITV could at least draw comfort from the series still being the third most successful in The X Factor’s history.

The final helped to boost the series average up to 11million viewers across the 17-week run. It was also the second most watched show on British TV this year, behind only the Royal Wedding in April.

ITV also pointed out that BBC1 rival Strictly Come Dancing had averaged 9.7million viewers this series.

However, Strictly’s finale does not take place until this weekend, which is likely to boost its overall viewing figures substantially.

Tulisa may have mentored Little Mix to victory, but Kelly is crowned style queen

And the winner is... Tulisa may have mentored Little Mix to victory, but Kelly is crowned style queen

By Maysa Rawi and Lauren Paxman

Last updated at 1:41 PM on 12th December 2011

Little Mix were crowned the winners of The X Factor last night. But over the past 10 weeks another competition has been taking place... that of the most stylish judge.

Gary Barlow almost made the cut with a dapper collection of well-cut three-piece suits, but the real competition was between Tulisa and Kelly.

Here we look over the past 10 weeks and show how Kelly pipped Tulisa to the post - starting with this week-end's outfits which left the Little Mix mentor looking uncomfortable while Kelly, literally, shone.

Neither Kelly nor Tulisa wore their most stylish dresses last night. Kelly's was too complicated and Tulisa's left her unable to walk

THE FINAL WEEKEND: KELLY WINS

Tulisa's dotty choice looked a little like she had borrowed it off a child, while Kelly played it a little too safe in Nicholas Oakwell

Tulisa's blue Fyodor Golan fishtail gown was not her most flattering dress, while Kelly's Julien Macdonald mullet dress was on trend but too complicated

Tulisa looked uncomfortable in both the frocks she chose to wear over the weekend.

On Saturday she struggled to fit all of her spotted tutu under the judges desk - and the short front sometimes threatened to reveal a little too much.

On Sunday, the blue Fyodor Golan fishtail dress was not her most flattering frock, and the tightness around the knees left Tulisa struggling to walk.

Kelly, went for a safe but stylish navy blue Nicholas Oakwell pleated frock on Saturday. But on Sunday she showed off her enviable pins with an on-trend mullet dress. The bespoke Julien Macdonald couture frock's platinum colour was great, but the golden detailing meant there was almost too much going on.

• Little Mix hit the jackpot! Girl group set to make £8 million from lucrative contracts after winning the X Factor
• Didn't you learn last night? Yesterday she struggled to sit down, now Tulisa CAN'T WALK in 'mermaid' skirt at the X Factor Final

And how the judges compared for the rest of the competition...

WEEK ONE: KELLY WINS

It's the first week and Tulisa looks stuning in Herve Leger, but Kelly wins points for the on-trend Versace frock

Tulisa's dress is slightly too short and isn't a patch on Kelly's elaborate Roberto Cavalli gown

For the opening show, Tulisa and Kelly opted for very different looks.

Kelly gets extra points for being so on-trend with the 90's style and has the figure to pull of the Versace dress.

Tulisa looked pretty in a nude Herve Leger dress.

For Sunday however, Tulisa's Vivienne Westwood dress is slightly too short.

Kelly looks stunning in a Roberto Cavalli floor-length gown.

WEEK TWO: TULISA WINS

Tulisa gets a A for effort in a leather mullet dress while Kelly's Todd Lynn number looks too demure for the X Factor

Tulisa looks stunnng in a cream dress, a similar look to former judge Cheryl Cole, while Kelly's Julien Macdonald dress shows too much cleavage

Kelly opts for a demure look in a Todd Lynn burgundy dress, which although flattering, is missing the wow-factor.

Tulisa's leather-effect mullet dress is almost too big for her but she stole the show the following day, as Kelly's Julien Macdonald dress revealed too much cleavage.

WEEK THREE: KELLY WINS

Kelly wins hands down with her Topshop leather dress and Alaia belt while Tulisa looks good in Herve Leger

Tulisa's D&G dress could have done with less material while Kelly looked elegant in sheer Falguni & Shane Peacock dress

Kelly wowed the crowd with her Topshop leather dress and Alaia belt. Tulisa wore Herve Leger, which wasn't the most flattering outfit she has ever worn.

For Sunday, Kelly wins again in sheer Falguni & Shane Peacock while Tulisa's D&G dress could have done with less material.

WEEK FOUR: TULISA WINS

Tulisa's Halloween outfit is as cute as a kitten while Alexandra Burke didn't bother with a costume

Tulisa rocked an Alexander McQueen and outshines Alexandra's colourful outfit

It's halloween and Tulisa wins an A for effort in a cute cat outfit. Alexandra Burke stood in for the Destiny's Child singer, who was recovering from illness.

The next day, Tulisa looked gorgeous in Alexander McQueen.

WEEK FIVE: KELLY WINS

There is nothing wrong with Tulisa's LBD but Kelly's Alberta Ferretti gown is a red carpet winner

The pair looks similar in black and white but Tulisa's shoes are a show-stopper

Kelly is back on form and steals the show in a pink Alberta Ferretti gown while Tulisa narrowly missed the crown in a flattering little black dress and again on Sunday as Kelly rocked a Galliano gown.

WEEK SIX: KELLY WINS

Tulisa rocks a Bruce Oldfield gown while Kelly goes for the androgynous look in a black Stella McCartney tuxedo

Kelly's floor-length gowns - or in this case a Corrie Nielsen blouse and Elie Tahari skirt - are becoming her signature look while Tulisa opts for sequins

Tulisa looks gorgeous in a Bruce Oldfield dress while Kelly goes for the androgynous look in a black Stella McCartney tuxedo.

But the U.S singer beat Tulisa on Sunday in an elegant Corrie Nielsen blouse and Elie Tahari skirt.

WEEK 7 - KELLY WINS

Kelly wows the crowd in a Sass & Bide dress while Tulisa plays it safe in another LBD, this time from Versace's collection for H&M

Tulisa opts for pretty lace while Kelly goes for Philip Armstrong in a metallic shade of the same blue-green

Kelly looks fresh in a Sass & Bide Aztec-style dress while Tulisa's little black dress from Versace's collection for H&M seemed somewhat repetitive.

She wore a pretty lace dress on Sunday - which Cat Deeley has also worn in the past - while Kelly opted for metallic Philip Armstrong.

WEEK 8 - KELLY WINS

Tulisa shows off her animal instinct while Kelly is electric in blue Georges Chakra

Tulisa commits a faux-pas as she reveals her underwear while Kelly goes for demure in a Hugo Boss Grecian dress

Tulisa opted for tiger-print while Kelly showed off an electric blue Georges Chakra dress.

On Sunday, Kelly's Hugo Boss pared-down chic looked stylish while Tulisa went for sexy body-con which revealed a little too much from behind.

WEEK NINE - TULISA WINS

Tulisa's Herve Leger dress is let down by the jewellery while Kelly goes for monochrome Osman

Both judges rock the metallic look, but Kelly opts for floor-length Jenny Packham while Tulisa goes for her favourite mini

Tulisa's Herve Leger dress was let down by the jewellery. Kelly went for the sexy secretary look in monochrome Osman.

Tulisa looked hot in a capped-shoulder dress on Sunday while Kelly opted for full-length Jenny Packham.
