X Factor Trend: Headscarves

What is it with these celebs and their crazy trends?! First the I'm a Celeb lot rocked pink bandanas and now X Factor starlets Katie and Cher are championing headscarves.

Cher sported not one, but two on last night's show, in addition to wearing one all week for rehearsals and Katie has been a fan since day one.

Even Cheryl has been papped in a headscarf fashioned into a headband- maybe it's her copying her acts and their looks, rather than the other way around?!

I smell a major accessories trend brewing for winter if this lot carry on rocking the catwalk looks.

Rebecca can do no wrong with anything she wears and Cher is young enough to pull even the most horrendous colour combos off.

Katie meanwhile is looking more and more strange each week in my view. I'm not a fan or her new haircut or style, but hey- if it's keeping her in the comp, then good luck to her.

Who will go tonight on the double eviction? Well, it's got to be Wagner's time hasn't it? and I have a hunch that a fight between Cher and Katie for a place in the semi-finals may shock everyone.

Let me know what you think!

X Factor: Most uncomfortable viewing ever?!

So, that was uncomfortable last night. Wagner through yet again, Cheryl refusing to vote and er, Katie collapsing on the floor literally begging to stay in.

Yes, it's the latter which I'm referring to as being the most cringey thing I've viewed in the past year, and don't forget I watch Wagner perform each week!

Katie's apparent breakdown saw her forget the words, swear and sink to her knees pleading for the judges to not give up on her.

Desperate doesn't even begin to cover it, with Twitter going mad condemning her antics. I loved her dress, though; never let it be said I don't give a compliment where it is due.

Anyway it worked, she was saved to massive boos while Trayc was sent home. She who finally got her styling right and could sing the best, was booted off in favour of quirky/unstable Katie.

World gone mad me thinks. Anyway, onto the fashion on the night and Dannii once again came up trumps.

Rocking a black corseted dress from Dolce & Gabbana she looked stunning, while Cheryl got it oh- so wrong (again) in a short gold number, which appeared to be missing half a shoulder.

Yes, yes I know it was 'fashion' but come on pet, you're the style guru we look to, and if you can't make it work, then what hope do we have?!

Here's to next week and what Katie will pull to try and stay in once again...

X Factor Fashion Watch: Who rocked and who did not...

My Saturday night really consists of two things; Wine and X Factor. So with both of them present last night, I settled down to watch the best show on TV for a whole hour and a half.

Yep, this was indeed the first night where it wasn't over two hours long, because now we are down to the final 10, as everyone kept reminding us.

Basically it means these people who we have grown to love and hate in equal measure are the best in the country for musical talent and style. Yeah right.

Rebecca is clearly the most polished and is destined for a career both in the music and fashion industry long after X Factor is finished.

As for her mentor, Cheryl, well I was most disappointed with her fashion offering last night. A tacky black dress complete with what looked like a lopsided pom pom in her hair.

This is the girl who everyone wanted to look like only last year, but now she seems to be a victim of her own success and has very rarely got it right in this series of X Factor.

Dannii on the other hand continues to go from strength to strength, looking elegant and chic in a gold knee-length dress.

Back to the contestants, and Cher looked really quite pretty in her pink biker jacket last night, but that wasn't enough to save her from Simon Cowell's bad comments; she looked like she had swallowed a lemon, when universal praise didn't come her way.

As for Katie, well, I thought she looked fragile rocking head-to-toe leather and a beehive on her head. The performance itself was disappointing, so it's safe to say she may be in the bottom two once again tonight.

Trayc too was a bit dull on the night, but looked stunning in a Grecian style gown and monster bling necklace.

Paige however was all sparkle and smiles with his outfit; a purple tux complete with gold waistcoat and pink bow tie. He's like a little ray of sunshine and his mash-up had everyone dancing; I hope he stays for a few more weeks.

One person who doesn't need to worry is Matt of course, who received a standing ovation for his performance- but who the hell styled him?! Camel harem pants with a denim shirt? No, no, no!

Aiden similarly looked a bit of a muddle with an ill-fitting white shirt and black pants, but I loved his song choice. As Simon said, he's back in the game!

Louis may have cause to panic this week though, as Mary failed to deliver last night. Looking tired and stressed, she seemed distant and about to burst into tears at any point- could the Wagner story have anything to do with that I wonder?

Wagner himself performed some Elvis hits in a replica white catsuit (of course) to some clapping and surprisingly, some boos too.

He could finally be heading home this week, but I find it very rude that Cheryl doesn't clap anymore or give any constructive comments. He's in because the public clearly like him, go knows why, but hey, as Louis keeps reminding us- he's entertaining!

Lastly One Direction, aka my new inappropriate crushes, were fabulous jumping around stage to Kids in America with a load of cheerleaders.

Begrudgingly, I admitted last week I was wrong about the boys and I stand by that this week-they can sing, they are entertaining and at this point I think they are destined to come either first or second in the comp.

Don't forget it's the tweens who vote and who ultimately have the power. Why the heck to do you think Justin Bieber is as massive as he is?! Point proven.

I'll be tweeting live when tonight's eviction airs, so don't forget to follow me at whatserenasaw

Ann Widdecombe- unlikely fashion icon?

Strictly: Go Ann Go! Copyright BBC
Now before you all roll around laughing, I think there’s something to this...

She can fly, she can be pulled around on the floor, she can dance (sort of) and she can pull off sequins, when on most woman of that age would look a tad unflattering.

Ann is becoming something of a pin-up I think. Yes, she’s kind of the laughing stock of Strictly, but the public love her. She got a standing ovation on Saturday night, for heaven’s sake!

She may not have the best grace or body, but she’s become extremely likeable, thanks to her not taking it too seriously and the ever gracious Anton playing up to her strengths.

Like Wagner on X Factor, people don’t always vote for the best, they vote for who they like and to piss off the judges.

John Sergeant first experienced this, as did Jedward last year- go so far and the public will reward.

Will she win? No, not a cat in hells chance! Will she come out more popular and with a larger fanbase than ever before? Aboslutely.

As for my claim of a fashion icon in the making? Well, anything’s possible isn’t it?!

What a fright the X Factor gave me last night, and that was just the contestants and their song choices.

Thriller it was not, Like a bat out of hell? More like, I'm in hell- why can't Louis get it right with Wagner?!

That said, Rebecca as always was a triumph, even if the stylists made her look like a Spanish dancer in her lace and velvet dress. I'll forgive that, because she would look stunning in a bin bag.

As would Cheryl Cole, which is why I presume she's given up on being edgy now and just sticks to being pretty. Seriously, the same hair, make-up and jewellery as last week is just dull.

Dannii on the other hand, is turning out to be the STYLE queen of the show with a quiff so high, Jedward must of wondered who had stolen their hairspray. She's innovative, cool and different each week, which is tres refreshing.

What was also great last night was seeing Cher in a whole new light. No gangster swagga, just her in a Morticia style dress, complete with massive eyelashes singing a song which gave me goosebumps.



Katie, however gave me chills for all the wrong reasons. Dear lord what were they thinking with the cloud hair and eyelashes so big you couldn't even see her eyes. That was a hell of a lot of white eyeliner to contend with, and teamed with a so-so song, I think she could be in trouble this week.

Same with Aiden and his increasingly scary singing style. He's too intense now to enjoy his performances, but the guyliner was uber hot. He'll get the female vote, no worries there.

Just like One Direction, who seem to get stronger each week and I have to admit, I'm becoming a big fan, despite me writing them off at the beginning. What do you know, the dudes can really sing!

Not sure about the pink eyeliner and strange claw marks on the neck though, it was like they'd gone to town on Katie and had no creativity left for the boys! Tut tut.

Matt too, didn't seem to have had much done to him for Halloween either and his choice of song left me with a cushion over my eyes. He's still the fave to win though, so chances are he'll sail through once again this week.

I'm not sure the same can be said for Trayc though, why she sung that song was beyond me. But finally, after four weeks they got her styling right- she's a curvy lady and to put her in skin tight frocks was a big mistake.

That red dress last night with vampy black lips however, was stunning and people finally saw how gorge she was! That said I think she could be in trouble tonight as well if people just don't get her...

Paige may struggle too, even though Back to Black was a clever song choice for this soulful and Diva-ish contestant. He's likeable, can sing, but will I think be eclipsed each week by the stronger competition.

Lastly, Belle Amie seem to be sinking each week in my eyes. Dannii was right, the vocals were off and it was an odd choice of song I think. I loved the hair and make-up, but four practically identical white dresses? Come on, think a bit outside the box why don't you?!

Giving Mary horns though, I'll admit she looked lovely and the styling team did their job well. Great song choice and still one of my faves to go all the way. She's got Tesco behind her for goodness sake and boy can she sing.

What did you think of last night's show? Who will go and who will stay... you decide!

Rebecca does a Cheryl and dyes hair red!

I loved The X Factor last night, and I know I've covered it a lot on this blog but honestly, it's the best thing on TV at the moment!

Now that The Inbetweeners has finished, this is literally going to be my life now until Christmas.

Anyway, last night I thought the girls rocked- yes, even Katie impressed me with her 'Wanna be like you' tribute, which closed the show to huge applause.

I still wish she'd sort her hair out though, it looks so straw like. Now, Rebecca on the other hand decided to do a Cheryl last night with her new red 'do and looked sensational.

You know that home dye kits sales are going to soar now that both Cheryl and Rebecca have reached for the red bottle.

Cher even had tinges of red in her massive bouffant- maybe it was a job lot done on all three of them?!

As for the rest of the acts, as usual Mary was wonderful but her hair looks too severe in that tight bun- let her have her hair down next week please!

One Direction, as much as I hate to admit it, are getting better each week and even though I hate boy bands, I could stand to listen to them for a couple more weeks!

As for Matt and Aiden, to me they were very average, although I know the judges thought they rocked.

Votes on who is going tonight? My money's on either Wagner or John...
