There’s something about Cheryl Cole. I’m not quite sure what it is but 2008 has undoubtedly been the year where we paid her the attention she deserves. She may have started the year off on a low note when rumours hit the tabloids about her husband Ashley’s alleged infidelities but we admired the way she handled it.
Her career then went from strength to strength when she was picked as the new X-Factor judge and she finished the year with her very own Vogue photo shoot (minus the rest of Girls Aloud).
So what is it we love about Cheryl? Her X-Factor debut almost certainly has something to do with it – she laughed, she cried, she seemed to have put her marriage crisis behind her. Then there were her outfits for the live finals. Week after week she appeared in show stopping designer outfits by Dolce and Gabbana, Julien MacDonald, Matthew Williamson, Krystof Strozyna and Derek Lam to name a few.
Outfits aside Cheryl’s the sort of girl who looks like she could be your best friend. She could be a good laugh, a shoulder to cry on AND you could borrow from her fab wardrobe (well, if you were a size zero).
In short, Cheryl’s the sort of person you can relate to. She’s had her bad times and she’s pulled herself up with a new career looking better than ever. Quite simply she has what many of the show’s contestants seemed to be lacking – The X-Factor.
