X-Factor Style -Tulisa’s Polka Dot Jumpsuit and Red Peep-Toe Platform Heels

The battle lines have been firmly drawn in the sand, hair has been trimmed, nails have been polished and the wardrobes are full to bursting. This can only mean one thing; the X-Factor is back and the female judges are in a fashion–off once again!!

This weekend (20th August 2011) saw the return of the hit talent show to ITV1, drawing an audience of 12.6 million at its peak. Filled with the usual bounty of nut jobs and odd balls and the odd hidden gem, the premise remains the same. It was only the judging panel that got an overhaul; and what a revamp it turned out to be….

New judges Kelly Roland [Destiny’s Child], Tulisa Contostavlos [N-Dubz] and Gary Barlow [Take That] have injected a new lease of life into the monotonous TV programme and raised the style stakes once again. Cheryl, Danni and Simon who??

It’s the biggest TV style war, since… well last series but the girls wardrobes were the talk of the nation on social networks all weekend and we predict that will be a hot topic for the remaining 16 weeks. Always ready to help our lovely readers we are going to keep a beady eye on the clothes worn each week and show you how to replicate the judge’s style at high street prices.

This week we have chosen Team Tulisa and reproduced her first day of auditions in Birmingham outfit; consisting of a polka dot jumpsuit and red platform peep-toe heels.

Debenhams: Red Herring Black Printed Polka Dot Jumpsuit

£42.00
Whilst this Red Herring Black Printed Polka Dot Jumpsuit is not exactly the same as Tulisa’s DKNY version, it certainly channels the look to a tee. The loose fitting jumpsuit benefits from a super cute all over petite red polka dot pattern; a major trend this autumn after featuring on numerous catwalks earlier in the year at fashion week. Designers flaunting the look included Marc Jacobs, Stella McCartney and DVF. The polka dot print is wearer-friendly as the small dots will not add weight or distort silhouettes making it suitable for everyone. Still not convinced?? Well the generous use of fabric on this jumpsuit can be reined in with the sash along the waist to create definition.

Topshop: Podium Cross Over Platforms

£100.00
Finish the look like Tulisa did with a pair of sky high red heels to elongate those legs making them look like they go on forever. We think these delightful Topshop: Podium peep-toe cross over platforms in red suede with a patent heel for £100.00 are a fabulous choice tying in three of this season’s big trends into the one shoe.

Check back next week to see if we choose another of Team Tulisa’s outfits or whether Team Kelly will win the next round in the style battle.
