Tulisa Contostavlos and Nicole Scherzinger are battling it out to win the X Factor crown but they're also up against each other in the styles stakes. Each week, we take a look at who wore what best and why.

Nicole kept things reasonably safe in the style stakes for the first of this year's X Factor live shows.
Opting for a black leather and sheer panelled one-shoulder dress by IZMAYLOVA, she looked effortlessly chic as she tottered onto the stage in a pair of chunky but stylish ankle boots.
Wearing her hair in a slick up-do, Nicole finished off her look with minimal eye make-up, lashings of red lipstick and matching nail varnish.
But by the time the results show came along on Sunday, she ramped things up a gear by stepping out in a stunning gold strapless Kristian Aadnevik creation.
The former Pussycat Doll looked positively gorgeous as she flashed her flesh in all the right places, with the dress enhancing her enviable cleavage, and keeping things slightly toned down with a pair of simple black heels.
This time, Nicole wore her hair loose around her shoulders but ensured she kept the sex appeal with the same deep red lip-stick colour.

Tulisa, on the other hand, chose to kick off the live shows on Saturday night with an odd ruffled navy dress which came complete with a rather messy-looking hemline.
Wearing her hair up in a tight bun, her look was nowhere near as glamorous as her rival judge's, despite trying to keep things feminine with a pretty jewelled necklace and peep-toe shoes.
Clearly feeling the pressure after being upstaged on the first night, Tulisa improved her image for the results show in a tiny neon pink strapless dress, which showed just as much cleavage as Nicole's gold number.
But the matching pink lip-stick, side plait and ankle boots did little to help her match Nicole's classy image and the Young hitmaker finished off the first week of X Factor live shows looking like she needed some serious style TLC.
With all to play for this weekend, our money is on Nicole stealing the style thunder yet again. But who do you think looked the best overall in the style stakes for week one of the X Factor live shows? Vote in our poll below or let us know your opinion in the comments box.
