X Factor: Goth glamour for Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole as they both go for black

Fashion battle: Dannii Minogue showed off her post-baby curves in a Antonio Berardi cocktail dress, while Cheryl Cole flashed her cleavage in a Versus mini dress


This year, Dannii Minogue complained her X Factor live show outfits are 'completely unorganised' because she's too focused on being a new mum.

But the Australian judge has managed to win in the style stakes four times in a row after she trumped Cheryl Cole yet again in the ongoing fashion battle between the pair.

Ms Minogue, who turns 39 on Wednesday, showed off her post-baby curves in a figure-hugging Antonio Berardi cocktail dress and simple nude pumps.

But after covering up in a jumpsuit on Saturday's live show, the Girls Aloud singer, 27, displayed some flesh in a black satin Versus mini dress with peephole neckline.

While at 5ft 3, Cheryl is an inch taller than Dannii, the combination of her hemline and ankle-high Valentino bow sandals unfortunately made her appear smaller.

Since the live shows kicked off a week ago, Cheryl appears to be taking less fashion risks than last year by wearing muted shades of black and grey.

The only colour she has 'worn' this year has been dyeing her brunette hair red last week, which she has kept back in a plait or ponytail over this weekend.

On Saturday, Cheryl kept it simple yet again in a strapless black Azzaro jumpsuit and Miu Miu heels

Meanwhile, her fellow judge Dannii was labelled as 'beautiful' by the designer herself in a Victoria Beckham autumn/winter 2010 asymmetrical column dress on Saturday's live show.

Writing on her Twitter after the show, Dannii said: 'I am loving the Victoria Beckham dress tonight - it feels beautiful on.'

The designer herself appeared to approve, writing on her Twitter: 'Dannii Minogue looked so beautiful in Victoria Beckham last night.'

As they judged Storm Lee's performance on Saturday, Simon took the opportunity to compliment Cheryl for toning down her fake tan.

Cheryl's orange hue was largely mocked by viewers and the media last week when she appeared to have been a bit heavy-handed with her faux glow.

Simon said: 'Let me just say Cheryl you look so much nicer tonight. Less orange.'
Cheryl returned the compliment: 'You too... and your teeth look whiter tonight.'

Ahead of the live shows, Dannii admitted she hadn't been so bothered about her clothes because she didn't have as much time to plan her outfits since becoming a mum to baby Ethan.

She said: 'Last year at this time I had pretty much organised every outfit, but this time I am only just starting to get things together.

'I am completely unorganised so I will be excited if I get out with a frock on the right way and haven't got my shoes on my head.'

However, on the first live show last week she dazzled in a white J'Aton Couture shift dress, followed by a black prom dress from her Project D collection for the results show on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Cheryl kept it simple in a one-shouldered Daniel Vosovic LBD - with her glowing orange tan - on the first live show and a sexy lace Zuhair Murad number the following night.
