While other celebs seem to be hitting the peroxide bottle and turning their heads blonde for summer (Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Winstone and Jessica Alba to name just a few), this weekend saw one of the UK's most watched women, Cheryl Cole, stepping out with a brand new bold, red do.
The singer famous for her lush, brunette locks, revealed a new flame haired look - and told ELLE it's simply because she hasn't been a red-head before and needed a change.
'I’ve always loved red hair and it’s the only colour I actually haven’t been', Cheryl told us. 'I kinda had one of those moments where I really wanted change... I needed a change... I had one of those days where I was like, I wanna do it and I wanna do it now and I did it the next day. I’m glad I did it, I really like it' she said.
It's true, Nicola is the original red head. I'm intrigued to see Cheryl hair when it's been shot in photoshoots, and from what I've read she's been in a photoshoot with Nick Knight for her new album cover, I've included it below.
Girl's Knight
CHERYL COLE's record label are throwing more money into her solo album than they ever have at GIRLS ALOUD - proving they believe she's got global superstar potential. First they funded her to record in Los Angeles with top producers. The girls usually record in, er, Kent. Now I've discovered they have paid a fortune to hire controversial fashion photographer NICK KNIGHT to oversee Cheryl's look.
Nick has shot KATE MOSS over 30 times, won loads of awards for his Vogue front covers and wouldn't get out of bed for less than £100k a day. It's the equivalent of getting artist DAMIEN HIRST to paint your house. His day job is creating high-end images for major firms such as Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Christian Dior and Calvin Klein. Nick also shot VICTORIA BECKHAM for the cover of Vogue last year.
He is a contentious character in the fashion world. He campaigned to use larger models and has done lots of striking naked shots. When he does album covers - which is rare - it is only for major stars. He has worked with DAVID BOWIE, MASSIVE ATTACK and BJORK.Nick sounds a bit of an eccentric. He is known for wearing the same outfit every time he goes to work.
He and Cheryl did the shoot for Polydor in secret. And Nick claims Cheryl struggled with the work.
He said: "Although Cheryl is photographed all the time by the paparazzi, she is not in front of the camera in the way professional models are - she is less used to the process. Cheryl was great to work with, though. She is incredibly beautiful - it is just a different kind of shoot with an experienced model."
Cheryl's latest cherry red hairdo is part of her new solo image.
The as-yet-untitled album will be out in October when she'll be at the height of her X Factor fame. It's going to be impossible to avoid her.
Danii is always trying too hard and it never works, she´s trying to be as stylish as Cheryl.
And Cheryl looks great in her dress, i prefer her in colors but this is a cute dress.
