Cheryl vs Danni fash-off

Cheryl Cole Danni Minogue

And they're off! X Factor auditions have people singing, wailing and err, rapping up and down the length of Britain, and while we can't wait to see who will be the next Alexandra Burke or...Leon Jackson (yes he was a winner a couple of years ago, but he slunk off somewhere)...for us it's about Cheryl and Danni. Rather it's about Cheryl and Danni's wardrobe (and hair) battle. Over the next few weeks and well into the live shows, we shall be on C&D watch and checking out who is winning in the style stacks.
 
So let's start with day 1 - in Glasgow.
 
Cheryl Cole
Pros: She is resplendent and fashion-forward in an Alexander McQueen top, Alexander Wang leather trousers and Rupert Sanderson shoes. She knows to keep accessories to a minimum too with just a bracelet and ring. We can't judge on the bag unfortunately as clearly Cheryl is now  too much of an  A -lister  to carry one herself.
 
Cons: The hair. We know, We know, EVERYONE loves that big healthy bouncy hair, but it is just so, well, BIG. Too waggy we think. It always looks so much better tied up, plus we can see more of that pretty little face of hers.
 
Danni Minogue
Pros: Now, we can see what you're trying to do Danni. It's kinda like rock-chick meets big sister, but it's just a bit much. BUT, we do like the simplicity of the black tux jacket, and we love sequins for day. Oh and patriotic points for Danni who always wears Australian designers on the X Factor.
 
Cons: What happened to the hair?! Please tell us this is just an ill-advised styling moment? We were loving the slick bob, brush it in immediately! The jersey dress, from an Australian boutique, is nice enough, but it would be better with a simple black court stiletto, rather than ankle boots.
 
Winner of Round 1....Cheryl Cole. But something tell us there'll be many more rounds to come...

  • Oh poor old Danni, she's never going to win the fash race is she? Although Cheryl's trews are looking a little baggy around the crotch area which is not very sightly. But I suppose that's got to be better than a camel foot... Ahh the girl can do no wrong.

  • I disagree - I LOVE Dannii and think that she looks fab - much more individual that Cheryl's style which is predicatble and still stuck in the Wag rut that began in Baden Baden. Didn't Grazia feature a picture of Beyonce (Beyonve Vs Rihanna) wearing a very similar rock chick outfit recently??

  • Oh my goddness, Cheryls trousers look absolutley horrendeous in this picture.
    I also think Dannii looks a bit Sharon Osbourne in the second pic.
    Both absolutley beautiful women but really not keen on either outfit. I also wish Cheryl would remove some of those extensions!

  • I agree with issyp - Dannii at least looks like she has her own style, not a manufactured pop style one

  • Ummmm, I really dislike both these outfits. Those leather trousers are an awful fit, and Danni's does nothing for her fab figure. Round 1 to neither in my opinion!

  • Dannii's style as individual? That is one way of putting it and yes Cheryl Cole can sometimes look like she only shops at Net-a-porter but she does pretty much win hands down each time. Grazia master you got it right this time. Danni has quite alot of work to do before she reaches beyonce status...

  • Both outfits are disappointing. Cheryl's trousers are such a poor fit that you are instantly focused on them.It's a shame as the top is fantastic. Dani's outfit is a little bit 'I'm trying too hard!'Nil points for both!

  • I think they both look pretty rubbish to be honest!! Danni's dress does nothing for her figure, and I agree I'm also hoping that she hasn't lost the bob!
    Cheryl looks like she is trying to look thin - and she really needn't try, when leather leggings look baggy on you you've got problems...and they look really baggy!! Anything that draws the eye to the crotch area is a no-no. And how long is she planning to sport that awful weave, the VB 2006 look is so, well, 2006! Yes the top looks good but surely 300 quid for a t-shirt during a recession is slightly unstylish??!!

  • aww not a good angle for Danni so not fair, trouble with Cheryl is shes just so predictable - that hair never changes .
    pipedjeans
  • Neither looks good IMO.
    To be fair however, Danni is making an effort to look more individual. Cheryl is still stuck in that Girls Aloud-WAG shitck of hers especially with that big hair.

  • I prefer Danni, hands down! I love the sunglasses, dress and blazer, though the shoes are a bit "almost-but-not-quite"! I do hate Danni's hair though - you can see she's trying for young and edgy but it somehow doesn't work... then again I'm so over Cheryl's WAG hair in this pic that I'd even opt for Danni's weird quiff if forced to choose!

  • They were staying literally in the next street to me - I did walk my dog past their hotel last night on the off chance of seeing either of these ladies in the flesh, but sadly they must have been tucked up in their fluffy white robes by then. Bummerinho!
    Anyhoo, back to the question in hand: I don't think either really shone to be honest. Black at the start of a fairly good summer? (It actually was a nice sunny day yesterday in Glas Vegas, for once). Neither outfit is a great fit or particularly flattering. Cheryl is raiding the 90s for pleather pants and a tight lycra tee, a la Morgan in its hey day. Danni looks like she's about to do a walk of shame having borrowed a jacket off last night's hunk in order to get her home without catching a chill. As for hair - Cheryl's lustrous waves are amazing, granted, but getting boring now. And Danni, WHAT has your crimper done to you??? I had a terrible haircut like this once when I was 16 and I literally did not leave my bedroom for six months afterwards until it had grown out. Yikes!

  • Everyone seems to think Cheryl's hair is gorgeous and healthy when it isn't even hers!! Some poor girl somewhere in the world is walking round with a dodgy barnett like Danni's so that Cheryl can wear their hair!!
    Gal
  • Anyone seen Cheryl's outfit today? (The Sun online) - a lot more summery, but her white trousers are ridiculously long. Just looks sloppy.
    SassyJ
  • Yep - agree todays outfit is nicer apart from the trouser length - but at least she isn't showing off ribs and hip bones today!
    Gal
  • Cheryl has my vote here, is it just me or does Danni look a bit like Sharon O in this outfit?
