Cheryl Cole’s style file: the gorgeous, the bad, and WTF

Where it all begin. Back in 2002 Cheryl was just another badly dressed wannabe singing for her stardom on Popstars: The Rivals. And boy did she sing.

In full party mode, Chezza opted for a scarf top cinched in with a belt and bootcut trews for a night on the town back in 2003. Yep, she's got belt chains. And what?

It's hard to believe but this is actually an awards ceremony outfit. Yep, in 2005 an off-the-shoulder top and tiered skirt were all a pop star needed to wow on the pavement. As it's Cheryl, her dimples did save her some.

For the Alien Autopsy premiere Cheryl went all MUM wearing a flowery satin dress and matching shawl

Who needs night cream when you can scrape your hair into a super tight high pony?

Following the breakdown of her marriage, Cheryl lost weight and looked teeny tiny. Here in 2008 she showed how small her frame had become when she stepped out in grey trews and a white vest, both of which appeared to drown the petite star

We LOVED this fun and flirty skater dress! The bright yet chic colours looked fab against Chezza's tan while the flippy style showed off her toned legs

It might have been December but Cheryl took the festive spirit a tad too far with her red leather jacket and fluffy headband

Well, helloooo mama! Chezza brought the WOW to the X Factor stage in a floor length black dress and with a cute bow hair 'do

One of our all time favourite Cheryl looks. The beautiful star looked gorge in her patterned frock and cat's ears on the X Factor

For the NTAs Cheryl stunned us all when she stepped out onto the red carpet wearoing a pale pink Victoria Beckham dress. We bet back in Baden-Baden neither of them thought THAT would ever happen

We couldn't put together a Cheryl style round-up without skipping over the p'orange pond. Take a look. Aaaand now we move on...

Cheryl's Stephanie Rolland couture gown divided the heat office. Was her Cannes frock a bit too fashion or had Chezza hit the nail on the head?

Another Cannes look, this time one flashing a lot more flesh. Perhaps a little too much for the film festival crowd but there's no denying she looks pretty darn great

Date night with new fella Tre called for a sexy leather pencil skirt and co-ordinating top with comfy courts. An excellent romantic look

Cripes, this lady can even make a wrist injury look hot! Can we pretend we've got a poorly wrist to emulate Chezza's style? No?

Or two! For Guiseppe Zanotti's Fashion Night Out party Cheryl went OTT on the peplums and totally pulled them off

Cheryl isn't all about the natty frocks and OMG glamour gowns. The lady can also rock a onesie with panache. Especially when said onesie is a YSL number.

At the big announcement of her return to The X Factor Cheryl greeted paps wearing a chic Lela Rose LBD with bright heels and cool shades.

Ooh how hot did Chezza look in her Kate Moss for Topshop fringed leather number at Kiss 100 radio? Smoking hot that's how.

Looking like a black and white babe in a cropped Jil Sander top with a giant statement necklace at the London leg of The X Factor auditions this year.. Those Temperley London trews could've done with being shortened a tad, though...

The petite star wowed in this vibrant Stella McCartney two-piece, showing off her poker-straight locks.
