Cheryl Cole sports blonde locks as she joins Simon Cowell at X Factor press conference
LAST night she confirmed her return to the X Factor, and today Cheryl Cole proved that she's back and better than ever as she attended an official press conference for the reality TV show.
The 30-year-old star looked sensational as she arrived at the Arts Club in Mayfair alongside Simon Cowell to discuss her comeback and what this year's series will hold.
Showing off her petite frame in an unusual black dress which featured a fishnet top, Cheryl certainly looked chuffed to be back in the limelight.
She teamed the knee-length garment with a pair of quirky black, white and coral heels as well as a pair of dark sunglasses.
But what was most striking about Cheryl's glamorous look with her new long blonde hairdo which was straightened to perfection.
The former Girls Aloud star had clearly had some hair extensions put in ahead of her big public appearance - and was definitely looking her best.
She was closely followed by head judge Simon Cowell - who is also returning to the UK series of the show later this year.
The father-of-one wore his usual attire of blue jeans, black loafers and a dark grey sweater as he arrived at the London location with his aviator sunglasses firmly in tact.
The 54-year-old music mogul gave a double thumbs up as he emerged from his car and prepared to be reunited with Cheryl - whom he fell out with a few years back after he sacked her from the US version of the reality show.
