The X Factor auditions have finally made their way to London.

So it's no surprise that Cheryl Cole and Mel B would arrive in typically glamorous style.

The pair turned up at the capital's Emirates stadium on Friday in contrasting styles - but both ready to take each other on in the fashion war.

Cheryl wowed fans in a demure top and trouser ensemble by Stella McCartney.

Featuring short sleeves and a fashioned waistline, it was certainly a flattering choice for the former Girls Aloud star.

She capped the look with a single gold bracelet and centre-parted, poker-straight hair.

Meanwhile, Mel B opted for a Versus Versace dress, which was skin-tight in comparison.

With her hair held back in a long, sleek pony tail, she looked like she had poured herself into the frock, which featured gold button detailing.

She matched the look by contrasting it with a pair of cream heels.

Mel will soon be joining returning judges Cheryl Cole, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh in this series, in Cowell’s attempt to boost ratings following a few seasons away from the show.

The straight-talking star said she was 'so excited' to be coming back after appearing as a guest judge in 2012 and is reported to have signed a deal worth £1 million.

She said last week: 'I've always thought honesty is the best policy when being a judge and that's what I'm going to bring more of this year - whether it's spotting an incredible singer, giving someone a reality check or debating with Simon over who's got it wrong.

There weren't any X Factor auditions on Friday, so it would seem, according to the DM - just a few judges parading around to see who got the most squeals from their adoring fans. The content of these shows has now become of little significance, as it's all, now, about the judges, and their dresses / feuds / hairstyles / whatever.....................

Cheryl is a really pretty woman but that outfit is just too middle-aged for anyone within 20 years of her age.
