The dress factor: How Dannii trumped Cheryl in The X Factor fashion stakes

    By Claire Coleman


    It’s been the question on everyone’s lips: Which female judge will win this year’s X Factor style stakes? As the series enters its final week, fashion and beauty expert Claire Coleman gives her verdict...


    Style war: Dannii pulls off a white J'Aton Couture while Cheryl looks like she's cut down a flamenco's dancer's costume in Zuhair Murad

    WEEK ONE

    It's the first live show and judges Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole declare a style war. Dannii pulls this one off without looking like a second-time bride, but Cheryl looks as though she’s cut down a flamenco dancer’s costume.
    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: J'Aton Couture
    Cheryl: Zuhair Murad
    WINNER: Dannii


    WEEK TWO

    Undoubtedly one of Cheryl’s worst looks - and she knows it. She looks painfully uncomfortable in this too short, cut-out skater frock, and those fussy shoes probably aren’t helping. And, yes, while I concede that there’s a that there’s a touch of Maggie Thatcher about Dannii’s outfit, she looks classy and together.
    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Antonio Berardi
    Cheryl: Versus

    WINNER: Dannii


    Back to black: Dannii may seem a touch Maggie Thatcher in Antonio Berardi but Cheryl looks painfully uncomfortable in too-short Versus


    WEEK THREE
    Dannii’s gone for the Fifties sexy housewife thing while Cheryl’s outfit screams young, finger-on-the-pulse fashion. Both look like they’ve tried too hard.
    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Dolce & Gabbana
    Cheryl: Kristian Aadnevik

    WINNER: Tie


    Try hard: Dannii goes for the Fifties housewife look in a Dolce & Gabbana prom dress while Cheryl is the fashionista in Kristian Aadnevik


    WEEK FOUR

    Another uncomfortable night for Cheryl in her naughty French maid fancy dress attire. Dannii nails it with her Mad Men-inspired red ruffled dress.

    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Marchesa
    Cheryl: Jonathan Saunders

    WINNER: Dannii


    Lady in red: Dannii nails it in Marchesa while Cheryle looks uncomfortable again in Jonathan Saunders


    WEEK FIVE

    Er, did Cheryl actually forget to get dressed? She looks worryingly as though she was on her way to a funeral, got her slip caught in her knickers and just ran out the door anyway. To be fair, Dannii could be accused of looking like an enormous Ferrero Rocher, but at least she remembered to put a dress on.

    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Philip Armstrong

    Cheryl: Pucci

    WINNER: Dannii


    Underdressed vs overdressed: Dannii might look like an enormous Ferrero Rocher in Philip Armstrong, but at least she doesn't look like she forgot to get dressed, like Cheryl in Pucci

    WEEK SIX

    I know Cheryl looks as though she’s auditioning for a role as an evil Princess Leia in a soft-porn version of Star Wars, but I quite like it. Dannii’s classic toga-style dress really suits her, but I’d have preferred it if she’d ditched the gaudy turquoise earrings and gone for something simpler in gold.
    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Carla Zampatti

    Cheryl: Georges Chakra

    WINNER: Tie


    Monochrome magic: Dannii is a goddess in Carla Zampatti, Cheryl channels Princess Leia in Georges Chakra


    WEEK SEVEN

    I’ll concede that it may look as though Cheryl’s ripped off Dannii’s look from last week, added some gold foil and teamed it with some stripper shoes, but I still think it looks miles better than Dannii’s chocolate log of a boring column dress . . . yawn.
    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Gucci
    Cheryl: BodyAmr

    WINNER: Cheryl


    Take it to the maxi: Dannii is boring in Gucci while Cheryl steals Dannii's goddess look in BodyAmr


    WEEK EIGHT

    Every part of my brain says Cheryl’s dress shouldn’t work — it’s too gold, too spangly, too Oscar statuette. Yet I love it, and so does she. But Dannii looks uncomfortable in her acres of fussy, Greek-inspired red chiffon.

    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Carla Zampatti

    Cheryl: Gianfranco Ferre

    WINNER: Cheryl


    Golden girl: Dannii loses out in yards of red chiffon by Carla Zampatti while Cheryl's spangly number by Gianfranco Ferre is a winner


    WEEK NINE

    What with Dannii’s oversized corsage and Cheryl in a work of origami, neither of these outfits represents their best looks of the season. Still, both are flattering, even if the detailing is somewhat unconventional.

    DESIGNERS

    Dannii: Aurelio Costarella

    Cheryl: Stephane Rolland

    WINNER: Tie


    Origami queens: Dannii goes for the oversized corsage in Aurelio Costarello while Cheryl resembles a present in Stephane Rolland


    AND THE WINNER IS...
    While Cheryl has outshone Dannii in previous series, this year Ms Minogue has really hit her stride.

    She’s learned to keep things simple, having worked out that clean-cut lines look best on camera.

    Her remaining act, Matt Cardle, may be the bookies’ favourite to win this weekend’s final, but in the style stakes, it’s Dannii who has the X Factor.
