PICS: Cheryl Cole celebrates 26th birthday in eye-popping style

Cheryl Cole celebrated her 26th birthday last night, and ensured all eyes were on her, as she stepped out in a traffic-stopping minidress.

Arriving at the Vanilla Club alongside husband Ashley, where she was joined by family and A-list mates alike, the Girls Aloud beauty ensured she was the centre of attention, in a flesh-flashing Alexander McQueen number that left very little to the imagination.

Thigh-skimming, with nothing but a smattering of fringing for a skirt, the teeny tiny frock covered less than it revealed, with a completely sheer front panel, which showed of Mrs C's ample cleavage and toned tum.

As for that famous mane, and she styled her locks into a long slicked back ponytail and topped off her look with smouldering smoky eye make-up and a bronzed complexion.

The star-studded soiree saw Girls Aloud bandmates Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh out to celebrate, with Walsh looking fashion-forward in an on-trend fuchsia playsuit, and Roberts sweet and chic in a mint green shift.

There was also a considerable X Factor contingency, including fellow judges Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh, plus Holly Willoughby and Cheryl's 2008 protégées, Alexandra Burke and Diana Vickers.
