Tulisa turns heads with bob-style hairstyle... as Nicole Scherzinger looks more than all white in trouser suit

Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger's style choices have been a hot topic of conversation amongst X Factor fans.

But on Saturday night, the former N-Dubz singer, 24, threw something different into the mix with her bob-style haircut.

However, it appeared the North Londoner hadn't gone for the chop - she had simply tucked her long hair out of sight, give the impression of having a shorter do.

Tulisa's short 'do perfectly complemented her 1920s-esque shimmering Temperley London floor-length gown.

She teamed the show-stopping gown with a pair of black Kurt Geiger heels and Folli Follie earrings.

Meanwhile, American singer Nicole, 34, was going for a more androgynous look in white Jean-Pierre Braganza suit.

The women's very different style choices came after Tulisa appeared to be catching up with Nicole when it came to her X Factor outfits on last weekend's shows.

Recently, fellow judge Louis Walsh claimed Nicole was winning the fashion wars and urged Tulisa to 'up her game'.

He said: 'I think Nicole gets it right nearly all the time. Tulisa has had to up her game.

'Nicole and Tulisa have about six people each tending to their beauty and styling needs. I think Tulisa is probably turning into J.Lo.'

The American songstress is admired the 

world over for her fabulously sculpted figure.

Nicole regularly works out, and boasts gorgeously toned legs. 

Her personal trainer Adam Ernster has revealed the secret behind her lean limbs - vibrating exercise equipment the Power Plate.

"She's a huge fan because she always feels the muscles she's working out," Ernster told US magazine.

"It packs the most intensity in the least amount of time, which is what she and I need while she's on the go. The cool thing about the Power Plate is that you can vary the intensity and make even doing a static move [like squats) feel brutal. For Nicole, it's not enough for her to work hard, she wants to feel the pain, too!"

Will Caton is a Power Plate Trainer and counts Renée Zellweger among his famous clientele. The exercise expert has revealed his top tips to get a Hollywood body on the fitness equipment.

"Do not just go through the motions!" he advised.

"You need to be in control of every muscle fibre contracting. This keeps the muscles tight and sexy and increases neuromuscular response and overall tone."

Nicole Scherzinger and Lewis Hamilton are reportedly engaged.

The 'X Factor' judge and the Formula One driver - who have been dating on and off for the past four years - are set to marry after Lewis popped the question, according to Nicole's father.

Alfonso Valiente - who split from Nicole's mother Rosemary when she was six but remains close to his daughter - told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "You know about the proposal? Yes they are engaged.

"My future son-in-law is a really nice guy, really down-to-earth.

My family all like him. The good spirit is there."

Alfonso, 52, says he first met Lewis last year after the couple spent a week with him and his family on the Hawaiian island of Oahu and the sportsman left a good impression.

He said: "When he walked into the house for the first time he picked up one of the babies. That went down very well.

"He is sincere and he and my daughter seem genuinely happy together. Lewis is a really good guy. When they came to visit, we hired them a Jeep because he had never driven one before."

While a spokesman for 25-year-old Lewis refused to confirm their engagement, Nicole recently revealed how she wants to settle down and have children.

The 32-year-old singer said: "Do I see us getting married and having children? My head says yeah, but I'm really focused on my music now and I think that will come in time.

"I think I'll be really strict like my momma, maybe even worse. I won't let my children out of the house! I'll make them listen to classical music."

Nicole Scherzinger: "I used to be so insecure"

Former Pussycat Dolls reveals that she was a "geek" while growing up

She became an instant sex symbol when she launched to fame as the lead singer of girlband the Pussycat Dolls, but Nicole Scherzinger says she was actually a "geek" before she became a popstar.

The 33-year-old, who recently replaced UK singer Cheryl Cole as a judge on the US 'X Factor', reveals that she struggled with low self-esteem while growing up.

"I was a geek in high school. I only got rid of of my glasses when I joined the [Pussycat] Dolls," she says in an interview with InStyle magazine.

"I didn’t have great self-esteem growing up. I was so insecure. I had a really sheltered life, a strong Catholic family. The only place I opened up was when I was singing, performing."

The Pussycat Dolls split up last year and the star is now going it alone, she recently released her debut solo album 'Killer Love.'

Nicole, who is dating 26-year-old Formula 1 racer Lewis Hamilton, shows just how flexible she is in a stunning photo-shoot for the fashion magazine where she is pictured doing the splits.

In a second shot she is pictured staring at the camera seductively while wearing a low-cut white outfit.

The 'Hold Your Breath' singer admits that she works hard to maintain her figure.

"My physique definitely takes work," she says. "But I fluctuate... Sometimes I'm in superhero mode and I'm all buff and lean, but at the moment I'm a little more relaxed."

Nicole Scherzinger is a beast on stage

Singer Nicole Scherzinger says she turns into a beast when she’s on stage and wants her solo songs to reflect that attitude.

“I told Red, when I go on stage I kind of turn into a beast sometimes, this other alter-ego, you know, that you kind of get to see in ‘Poison’. I want the music to bring that to life for me,” femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as saying.

“I feel like when I listen to some of the songs, I’m just like my own action hero,” she added.

The 32-year-old gave her opinion on using auto-tune, a recording effect which automatically alters singers’ voices to be perfectly in tune.

“I don’t really like auto-tune too much. But you wouldn’t have ‘Believe’ by Cher without it. I’m more classic,” she said.

Nicole Scherzinger wants to sing with Ben Drew

Nicole Scherzinger of the “Pussycat Dolls” went knocking at 27-year-old Ben Drew’s door to complete her upcoming solo album.

Ben Drew is popularly known in the music world as Plan B.

“My label asked me who I wanted to work with and I said the only person I want is Plan B. I’m a huge fan. So I’m actually going to meet with him this week. I don’t know his face, his videos or anything but I love his music,” dailystar.co.uk quoted Scherzinger as saying.

Nicole’s new album is the brainchild of Lady Gaga’s right hand man Nadir Khayat.

“I wanted something explosive that could be staged live in a full performance and I needed music to match the intensity, that’s what he did, It’s raw, dangerous and big. That’s what I want to be on stage,” dailystar.co.uk quoted Scherzinger as saying.
