Stealing his thunder? Simon Cowell celebrated his 57th birthday in London it was his partner Lauren Silverman who was firmly placed in the limelight

Heading out with their friends, including Simon's X Factor co-star Nicole Scherzinger, the birthday boy looked to be having a grand time.

And while the man of the moment was no doubt enjoying his celebrations, it was Lauren who managed to steal the show with her black cocktail dress.

Opting for an off-the-shoulder number with a peplum detail, the socialite ensured that all eyes were on her.

Adding a pair of towering stiletto heels to the mix, the brunette beauty was sure to accentuate her phenomenal figure to the max.

Wearing her long brown locks down around her shoulders, Lauren allowed her hair to frame her pretty features.

Simon looked to have been thoroughly enjoying the night, a nice respite from the manic life that he leads during the X Factor season.

And living up to his TV title of Mr. Nasty, the music mogul attracted criticism over the weekend with some of his more barbed views on the hopefuls.

During Saturday night's Judges Houses' episode, Simon described the wildcard as 'distant' to his guest judges Mel B and Emma Bunton as she stood in front of them to perform.

He continued: 'Samantha I wish we had met without what you think is your pop star image.'

In arms: Viewers of X Factor weren't impressed with Simon Cowell's latest comments about 17-year-old finalist Samantha Lavery when he asked her to take off her make-up

'With you I think we've had a bit of a mask put up. I'd almost like to see you without so much make-up.

He added: 'All I'm saying is I want to peel away the mask. Does that sound bad?'

However Spice Girls Emma and Mel did not look impressed by Cowell's words and shot to the teen's defence - insisting she's 'allowed to experiment' and it's 'what kids do'.
