We’re now more than half way through X Factor and it’s safe to say that Cheryl Cole has officially adopted the sequinned dress trend.
On Saturday 14 November, Cheryl Cole wore an Alexander Wang Draped Sequin Mini Dress (£710, approx €798, Browns Fashion, pictured right) and looked stunning in midnight blue. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for her pulled back high ponytail hairstyle.
For a similar, but not quite draped Wang look, go to New Look for a navy sequin prom dress or (£35, €39), or Betsey Johnson for a shift styled version (€80 on Asos).
Alexander Wang (no relation to Vera), is THE designer success story of 2009. Since he launched his first women’s wear collection in 2007, I now look forward to his show every year at New York fashion Week (who am I kidding?.. well, the re-runs of the show on Style.com, I’ve never been invited to the live show!). Renowned for his edgy, sometimes masculine style, I was surprised at this dress being so girly and Cheryl Cole suited. More on Mr. Wang later this month…
Cheryl was her ever adventurous self on Sunday night, 15 November, supporting young British designers again during the X Factor by wearing a Richard Nicholl, white and gold corset dress. If this is on your Must Have list, Net-a-porter will sort you out at a whopping €1500. Otherwise, see Asos for a similar, non designer style (Forever Unique Gold Contrast Detail Strapless Dress ,€86).
Stacey Solomen X Factor 14 November
On to the contestants. Alas, with only one female contestant left in the competition, Stacey was styled in a caramel coloured ball gown on Saturday. The dress, a custom design by Suzanne Neville, wouldn’t be the best outfit to date that I’ve seen on the lovely Miss Solomen, but I did love the concept that she wore €100,000 worth of borrowed bling! You can do the same from a nifty site called rentyourrocks.com – it says what it does on the tin.
You Are Not Alone Song
However, on Sunday 15 November, I did think that Solomen was a vision of white in a French Connection dress, which I haven’t seen in the shops yet.
For the same performance on Sunday, it was great to see Lucie Jones back performing in a Kate Moss for Topshop white dress.
X Factor Male contestants 15 November
The male contestants were predominantly designer clad on Saturday night, with Jamie Afro wearing a smart Lanvin blazer, Danyl Johnson in a Balenciaga shirt to Olly Murs wearing Gucci trousers! I’m so sad to see Jamie go, he is such a likeable fellow!

Pamela, I loved that blue on Holly but dont know where its from. There’s one on debenhams.com called Petite cobalt blue bow front shift dress , but its sleeveless whereas Hollys had short sleeves.
November 24, 2009 at 9:26 am
Where did Holly get the blue dress she wore for the Xtra Factor Results show on 22nd Nov?
BTW – I think you should also go through what Holly wears every week as she is always so stylish.
November 25, 2009 at 10:49 am
I’m desperate to know where Holly got her beautiful blue dress she wore on the 22nd, it would be perfect for my Christmas party! Does anybody have an idea?
November 25, 2009 at 11:36 am
I hear you Liz, it’s really hard to find Holly’s dresses, I Love them all! This one from debenhams is similar but lacks the sleeves of Hollys, its chiffon with satin trim. http://short.ie/ep6q38

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE HOLLY GOT HER LONG BLACK MAXI DRESS FROM WITH THE BIG SILVER FLOWERS IN SHE WORE ON 29/11 ?
December 2, 2009 at 10:59 am
Hi Lorraine, I know the one you mean, it was Hollys dress on Xtra Factor on Saturday 28 November. Unfortunately, what she wore is really hard to find out! Ive trawled all the shops and cant see it, so it must be from last summer. Found thhis one in Aftershock, similar but not quite right as doesnt have the same neckline

Does anybody know where Stacey got her floor length pink dress from that she wore this weekend (28th/29th Nov) I really want them for bridesmaids dresses at my wedding!!
Thanks
December 2, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Hi Claire, Staceys floor length pink or coral coloured dress is by Issa. This Brazialian dress label is sold on Netaporter and Matches fashion, but this dress isn’t online which leads me to believe that it’s next summers collection which is not for sale yet. You can buy a very similar version online on ASOS (£55, €68 approx) and it also comes in green or black, see http://short.ie/9uer73. See all of week 8 x factor style in more detail on http://www.whatshewears.ie/index.php/2009/12/x-factor-style-28-november/
December 7, 2009 at 11:46 pm
Can anyone tell me where Lloyds jeans he wore on 14th Nov were from? It says above they’re diesel jeans (they look leather). I’ve searched everywhere but can’t find the same pair.
December 8, 2009 at 9:56 am
Hi Cally, Yes they are by Diesel, and are leather looking wax effect jeans. I found them online on Yoox but only in limited sizes left http://short.ie/v66fk7 Good luck!
December 9, 2009 at 7:20 pm
Hi Can any one tell me where holly may
have got her dress from what she was wearing sunday on 5th Dec
the spotty number
thanks x
December 10, 2009 at 4:59 pm
Jody, as always, Holly’s dresses are impossible to find out, would love to know the secret source. But I’ve found one very similar to the one Holly wore on the xtra factor on sunday 6 december, on John Lewis http://short.ie/nf5ve3 . It’s got smaller spots and a vneck, whereas Holly’s dress has a scoop neck and larger spots. If you like polka dots you might like to read our Polka Dots article here http://short.ie/b0kskr

Does anyone know where Holly got that fab dress she wore on Saturday 12th. It was peachy/nude with some jewels at the front it was stunning?
Thanks R
December 14, 2009 at 3:52 pm
Rebecca, Have trawled the shops online for Hollys dress but cant find it. Found a similar one with different neckline and no jewels on Edressme, where Holly’s bought some of her Xtra factor dresses before. Heres the link http://www.edressme.com/prom-dress-fp6918.html#. Also, there’s ashort version, again jewel -less, in Topshop http://short.ie/g0rwxt
