Cheryl stepped on stage in this striking strapless Ina Soltani dress during the X Factor Sunday night results show.

The judge teamed the colourful creation with an elegant updo, suede Christian Louboutin pumps and de Grisogono sphere earrings.

The actress donned the very same dress to the Actor's Fund Annual Gala in New York back in April - with the only difference being that her version had a slightly longer skirt.

A swishing ponytail, classic black courts, purple statement earrings and a box clutch completed the red carpet look from the Charlie's Angel.
