    Cheryl Cole stunned as she performed with Girls Aloud in Louis Heal dresses on the show that aired yesterday

    Cheryl Cole hit another style high last night as she performed with Girls Aloud in a plunging white dress for Top of the Pops Christmas Special. The singer marked the end to an eventful year, what with her debut solo tour, new relationship and Girls Aloud reunion, with a pre-recorded appearance on the BBC1 show.

    Clad in a long-sleeved, floor-length frock by Louis Heal, Cheryl showed off her fashion powers in the textured number finished off with her signature smokey eyes and a slick of plum lipstick.

    Her look was complemented by her band mates who wore matching pale hues, also custom made by Louis Heal with Strictly finalist Kimberley Walsh and Sarah Harding adding interest with gold leopard print on their white dress.
