Slim Cheryl Fernandez-Versini continues to cause concern as she steps out for photo shoot with noticeably sunken cheeks

Her dramatic weight loss has caused concern in recent weeks. And the latest pictures of Cheryl Fernandez-Versini will do nothing to dispel that.

The strikingly slender singer left a photoshoot wearing dramatic make-up which served only to emphasise her prominent cheekbones.

Flashes from photographers' cameras exposed the rings of brightening concealer which had been applied under her eyes.

 Cause for concern? Cheryl Fernandez-Versini showed off her notably slimmer frame as she stepped out after a photo shoot with her fellow X Factor judges in London on Sunday

 Cause for concern? Cheryl Fernandez-Versini showed off her notably slimmer frame as she stepped out after a photo shoot with her fellow X Factor judges in London on Sunday

The 32-year-old was pictured on Sunday evening with her fellow X Factor judges after a busy week of filming auditions for the ITV talent show in London.

She wore a halterneck top and skirt combination by New York label Jonathan Simkhai and added a leather jacket.

Mrs Fernandez-Versini recently suggested her weight loss had come after the recent death of her father-in-law and hit back at critics who called her a 'bag of bones'.

The former Girls Aloud singer said: 'It's not nice. There are people out there going through similar things to me that feel the same thing, it hurts them.'

She had attracted comments on social media about her weight after posting pictures of herself on holiday in Italy with her husband Jean-Bernard, 34, at the end of June.

Then at the first X Factor auditions in Manchester earlier this month she wore a black crop top and high-waisted trousers that accentuated her protruding ribs and shoulder blades. 

X Factor boss Simon Cowell has said she was not intentionally losing weight, putting her slimmer shape down to 'a bug'. 

However, despite the concerns over her shrinking frame, that hasn't stopped Cheryl as she put on two carefully considered sartorial displays on Sunday as she headed for the photo shoot with her co-stars.

The Geordie star, who has thus far impressed with her looks while filming the auditions for the upcoming series ITV talent show, looked chic in her first look of the day.

All together, the new judging line-up and the new hosts of the show, and spin-off The Xtra Factor, took part in a photo shoot and filming for the programme.

But Cheryl stole the show, arriving at a building in London looking nothing less than a perfect iteration of smart-casual.

She covered her slim legs in a pair of pale blue jeans with light rips on the knees, adding height to her petite frame with classy red strappy sandal heels.

The brunette beauty's most striking garment, though, was the long but sharply-cut crisp white double breasted blazer, that skimmed low enough on her thighs it could have been worn as a dress.

Complete with oversized black buttons and a racy plunging neckline, it was another winning look for the star, who is known for having made some odd choices in the past.

With her short glossy locks slicked back into a neat chignon, the star beamed as she arrived along with her colleagues.

All-smiles: She couldn't hide her glee as she arrived at the central London venue, clutching her phone as she stalked out onto the street

Later on, she left the building presumably still wearing the outfit she had changed into for the photo shoot, a decidedly far more glamorous aesthetic.

She highlighted her slim frame with a mid-length smart navy halter-neck dress, which hugged snugly to her shape and was complete with horizontal and vertical white stripes and black sections.

The stunner covered up in the unusually chilly July evening weather with a classic black jacket, and she'd also swapped her red heels for a black and white pair in a similar style.

The former Girls Aloud star looked in great spirits as she departed the venue in the City of London, looking more chic than ever with her grown-up outfits.

Looking far more youthful and typically edgy, though, was Cheryl's new colleague Rita Ora.

The 24-year-old sexed up a simple, oversized blue shirt with little else, flashing her toned legs in a pair of sheer black tights and racy lace-up knee-high boots with gold embellishments.

Racy as ever: The 24-year-old's blue shirt was unbuttoned to reveal a hint of cleavage, and was short enough to allow her to show off her stunning, toned legs

Although she wasn't seen arriving along with the others earlier in the day, she sure made an impression on her departure, casually wearing the men's shirt like a dress.

Her platinum blonde locks were scraped back off her chiselled face in a high bun, and she drew attention to her pout with her trademark scarlet red lipstick.

It's not known if the How We Do hitmaker wore that particular risque look during the photo shoot, but she certainly owned it regardless as she left with her new co-stars.

Rochelle Humes, meanwhile, made an incognito arrival at the building, having covered up her outfit with a chic camel coloured coat, complete with a flattering tied waist.

But the new Xtra Factor host, 26, later revealed her striking ensemble, dazzling in a heavily decorated skirt with a long, white tasselled hemline.

The figure-hugging mini, in pale pinks and white tones, gave her a chance to flaunt her stunning legs, elongated furhter with a pair of vintage-style blue heels with a decorative toe.

Keeping the rest of it simple, the Saturdays beauty tucked a clean white t-shirt into the hemline, while wearing her glossy locks down and straight, tumbling down over her shoulders.

New X Factor hosts Caroline Flack and Olly Murs were also seen at the photo shoot, along with main man Simon Cowell, new judge Nick Grimshaw and new Xtra Factor host Melvin O'Doom.

Caroline kept it very casual but still fashionable in a cropped, distressed boyfriend jeans, black trainers and a white tee.

And, as ever, the 35-year-old TV star injected her own touch of femininity with a cropped leopard print jacket slung over the top for good measure.

The stars of the show have been busy filming the auditions in London, but they wrapped filming in the capital last week, and will head off to other destinations across the country as they source the hottest singing talent the UK has to offer.
