Sack the stylist? Cher Lloyd appeared to be channeling her inner Hilda Ogden at Heathrow yesterday with a pair of blue dungarees and a bandanna


She is often seen trying to emulate the style of her former X Factor mentor Cheryl Cole but it seems that yesterday she was taking inspiration from a much more unlikely source.

In fact, Cher Lloyd appeared to be channeling her inner Hilda Ogden as she arrived at Heathrow yesterday.

The petite singer was dressed in a pair of pale blue dungarees a grey jumper and had her hair tied up with a bandanna placed across it.

The wannabe was dressed was also wearing thick gold earrings and a pair of rose printed Dr Martin boots which made for a bizarre combination but with a distinct look taken from the Coronation street character.

The petite singer appears to be constantly experimenting with her style and doesn’t appear to have found her signature style just yet.


Could be twins? The 17-year-old's appearance looked similar to Coronation Street's Hilda Odgen's style


She is not only a fan of donning interesting clothing but has gone under the tattoo needle no less than eight times and has covered her frame in interesting inkings.

Cher, who found fame on the X Factor last year coming fourth behind Matt Cardle, Rebecca Ferguson and One Direction, has been busy working on her debut album.

Earlier this month the teenager posted a video of herself auditioning dancers for her debut music video working hard to ensure that they ‘gel’ with her.

In the video, Cher says: 'The auditions are going really well. I'm really glad there's bedroom dancers as well.

'I'm looking for fresh-faced people, just people that mix in with the crowd and just back me up really.'

This is how I roll: Cher Lloyd joins a group of hopefuls as she auditions dancers for her debut music video


She won over Cheryl Cole with her unique mix of rapping, singing and street dancing when she auditioned for The X Factor.

And now Cher Lloyd has posted a video of herself auditioning dancers for her debut music video - working them hard to ensure they are up to her standards.

The 17-year-old star is seen getting down with the hopefuls to make sure they 'gel' with her.

In the video, Cher says: 'The auditions are going really well. I'm really glad there's bedroom dancers as well.

'I'm looking for fresh-faced people, just people that mix in with the crowd and just back me up really.'

Cher, who wears baggy jeans, a brown vest top and checked blazer, is then seen getting up and joining the group for an impromptu street dancing session.

She explained: 'The reason I got up and started to dance with them was because I wanted to see if they would actually gel with me and to see the interaction.'

Getting down: Cher appeared to be enjoying herself in the video of the auditions, which she posted on her official website

Are we gelling? Cher laughs as she messes around with the dancers


And presumably those who didn't 'gel' with the X Factor runner-up didn't make the cut for the video, expected to be released later this year.

It was also revealed today that So You Think You Can Dance runner up Tommy Franzén has been enlisted to choreograph the routine.

He said: 'I will be choreographing Cher Lloyd's first music video that will be shot on May 17.

'After [having] had two dance auditions for it, we're in the process of finalising who is to be in it. Keep a look out for the video! I believe it's going to be a good one.'

I can do it too: But she was also keen to prove her own worth as she made her way into the centre of the room to dance with the rest of the hopefuls


Cher has been in New York and Los Angeles recently putting the finishing touches to her debut album.

And songwriter Savan Kotecha, who is executive producing the record, said it is sure to be a hit - and sounds just like Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's first solo album.

He said: 'It's such a blend of different things. Each song is so different from the other, but it's her.

Home again: Cher was seen arriving at London's Heathrow Airport today after her trip Stateside


'The only way I can describe it is that it's like Fergie's solo album, where London Bridge was completely different from Clumsy, but then you also had Big Girls Don't Cry, but Fergie was still the red thread throughout it all - that's how Cher's songs are.

'There's some hard ones, some vulnerable ones and some fun, silly ones and she just delivers on every one. We were just so impressed.'

Cher's debut album is due for release on 12th September.

Is the X Factor tour taking too much of a toll? Cher Lloyd looks thinner than ever while Katie Waissel 'needs a vacation'

By Daily Mail Reporter


Taking its toll? Cher Lloyd looks thinner than ever while Katie Waissel 'needs a vacation' as they continue the X Factor tour in Manchester today


As former X Factor contestants, Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel are currently travelling around the UK on the show's tour.

But it seems the manic schedule and energetic choreography make have taken too much of a toll on the pair, who stepped out in Manchester today ahead of tonight's performance in the city.

While Cher, 17, looked thinner than ever, baring her stomach in a cropped T-shirt, Katie, 24, wore a top bearing the slogan 'I need a vacation'.


It's not the first time Cher has sparked concerns over her weight, as many people speculated she was struggling to find time to eat during her time on The X Factor.

But she insisted at the time: 'I am eating. There is no problem. Of course I am eating I wouldn’t be able to perform if I wasn’t.'

In addition to looking very slender, Cher also missed the tour's Tuesday night performance at Manchester's Arena after falling ill.

Slender: Cher has always denied rumours she has a problem with her weight and insists she eats healthily


Despite being offered refunds, it appears most of the fans were content to attend the concert, with Scouser Rebecca Ferguson receiving the biggest cheers of the night.

Liverpool Echo's critic Jade Wright said: 'Cher was on the bill, but cancelled due to a throat infection. Fans were offered a refund before the show, but judging from the crowds inside, few returned their tickets.'

Cher has been sporting an eclectic mixture of outfits during her time on tour.

Yesterday, Cher teamed her attention-seeking hair with a clashing ensemble of patterned floral skirt, grey tights, orange ankle socks white blouse, grey Mackintosh and cream heeled loafers.

Eclectic: Yesterday, Cher appeared to have embraced Japanese street style in her latest fashion statement

A style of many colours: The 17-year-old opted for red, grey, white, black, orange, cream and a multi-coloured skirt


The unusual style appeared reminiscent of the street fashion of the Harajuku suburb of Tokyo.

Japanese teens who follow the Harajuku movement like to combine a variety of different dress styles, including Gothic Lolita, Visual Kei and Decora.

American pop star Gwen Stefani popularised the style outside of Japan with her dance troupe of 'Harajuku Girls', who accompanied her during her Love. Angel. Music. Baby. album in 2004.

On Thursday, Miss Lloyd was also attracting attention for her questionable make-up when she matched her bright red hair with the same shade of lipstick.

And today, Cher went for frilly white socks over grey tights, teamed with denim shorts, grey boots and a black jumper and matching coat.

Going east? Cher Lloyd appears to have embraced Japanese street style in her latest fashion statement in Manchester


She's already been accused of copying her mentor Cheryl Cole and superstar Rihanna.

But now it appears Cher Lloyd may be looking further afield for fashion inspiration - the 'Harajuku' street-style of Japan.

Spotted leaving her hotel in Manchester in between her matinee and evening performances on The X Factor Live Tour, the 17-year-old debuted a shorter new hairstyle.


Her hair extensions had apparently been removed and replaced by a blunt red bob.

She teamed her attention-seeking hair with a clashing ensemble of patterned floral skirt, grey tights, orange ankle socks white blouse, grey Mackintosh and cream heeled loafers.

The Worcestershire-native had been shopping in Liverpool city centre with a group of friends after performing in the city earlier that week.

However she missed Tuesday's gig at the city's Arena after falling ill.

Double bill: After recovering from a throat infection earlier in the week, Cher performed twice at the Manchester Arena

Despite being offered refunds, it appears most of the fans were content to attend the concert, with Scouser Rebecca Ferguson receiving the biggest cheers of the night.

Liverpool Echo's critic Jade Wright said: 'Cher was on the bill, but cancelled due to a throat infection. Fans were offered a refund before the show, but judging from the crowds inside, few returned their tickets.'

Earlier this week, she unveiled her eighth tattoo - a tribute to her father.

She had the word 'Daddy' and a heart placed on her right hand, in addition to another tribute to her late uncle last week.

At 17-years-old she is still under the legal age to have a tattoo although she now has quite a collection of different designs all over her body.

The teenage singer has not left her mother Diane out from her permanent tributes and she has the lyrics from a Tracy Chapman All That I have Is Your Soul song, which is her mother’s favourite track, on her left arm.

Cher also has a bird carrying a ribbon and a birdcage on her forearms in memory of her uncle Edward 'Boo Boo' Smith, who died last September after being tricked into taking a heroin substitute.

Off to the circus? Cher Lloyd clowns around with her red hair and matching lipstick

By Daily Mail Reporter


Clowning around: Cher Lloyd's bright red hair clashed with orangey red lipstick as she shopped in Liverpool today


She's been a regular feature in the media since her first X Factor audition last year.

But shopping in Liverpool today, the teenager looked like she was auditioning for the circus with her red hair and bright lipstick.

The clashing colours and her stripey jumper made the 17-year-old look slightly clown-like.


Lloyd dyed her hair last month the exact same shade as famous clown Ronald McDonald.

Despite suffering a throat infection earlier in the week, Cher looked in good spirits today as she shopped with friends at the Liverpool 1 shopping centre.

Perhaps picking up some presents for her father Darren's birthday, Lloyd spent up a storm in Bank, Kiehl's and Chanel.

And in a sign she has already netted a lucrative salary since appearing on the X Factor, Miss Lloyd was wearing Vivienne Westwood earrings.
