    The X Factor starlet made her return to the London stage last night at G.A.Y, and showcased a striking new 'do in the process - but what do YOU think?

    She's been busy carving herself out a career Stateside, but Cher Lloyd made her return to the London stage last night, showcasing a striking new look in the process - but what do YOU think?

    LOOK BACK AT ALL THE STAR STYLE FROM THE 2010 X FACTOR HERE!

    The 17-year-old performed at GAY Heaven over the weekend, and gone were those long brunette locks we'd come to know from the X Factor stage, and in their place, a bold red bob.

    The teen teamed her new blunt 'do with a black rose headband, and hit the stage in combat trousers, a cropped tee and scarlet ankle boots.

    With her penchant for off-the-wall style choices, it comes as little surprise to see the singer undergoing yet another makeover - but we think this has to be her most daring look to date.
