Cheryl Cole trotted along to the first round of auditions for “The X Factor” yesterday at the Galen Center in LA wearing this…ensemble. The majority of critics hate it.
My stance? When you wear an Oscar de la Renta ruffled silk top and Diane von Furstenberg Simca stretch-cotton pants together, you have a perfect presentation for entrance into the US market. On top of that, wearing such bold colour-blocking puts her Yankee Fashion Icon image aspirations in full gear. With the addition of the patent leather belt from Burberry Prorsum, it all felt very right, very Charlie’s Angels 2011.
That said, the electric shock hair turns it into a costume. What a poor styling choice for such a career-defining moment. This ‘look’ will be seen by millions, this will be her first impression. Looking like an extra in The Lion King. Fire your stylist, gorgeous woman. Your X Factor UK style is flawless.
