She only had to face one particular combatant within the style wars when she was a judge on the UK's X Element - but Cheryl Cole has now got double difficulty as she prepares to make her debut on the U.S. version with the show.
Final year, her sartorial rival was Dannii Minogue, and up until now, Geordie lass Cheryl has had to be concerned about style face-offs with fellow panellist Paula Abdul as she tries to mark her mark in America.

But now Nicole Scherzinger has launched herself into the fray all guns blazing, appearing last evening on rival show American Idol final night in an eye-popping barely-there white dress.
Scroll down to watch Nicole carry out on last night's show and see her in the promo for X Aspect USA...
It's the most recent single from the former Pussycat Doll's solo album Killer Appreciate and came out this week.
Her appearance was also a neat bit of cross promotion for broadcasters Fox, who will be also screening Simon Cowell's American version of X Factor.
Nicole also appeared in an X Factor USA advert that aired at the end of last night's Idol broadcast.
And since Nicole still has records to sell, it's probably that she's going to try and put on one of the most attention-grabbing outfits doable when she debuts onscreen alongside Paula and Cheryl in September.
Nicole, who has been dating Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton due to the fact 2008, meanwhile revealed this week that she did have second thoughts about accepting the job mainly because she didn't want it affecting her music career.
Talking to BBC 1's Newsbeat, the Hold Your Breath star mentioned: 'I was truly excited but I had my very own reservations just because I came out with my album Killer Appreciate and my music is range 1 to me.
'I just need to get it out there so I wanted to create positive it wouldn't get inside the way of promoting the music.'
Nevertheless, she stated head honcho Cowell had told her he was convinced her presenting job would only boost her music career.

Nicole, who was a guest judge on the UK show last year, said: 'It's an honour to be able to perform with Simon and, definitely, The X Aspect is such a huge phenomenon, so I'm glad to be a component with the team on the American version.'
On the other hand, she also managed to snub Cheryl by saying she would under no circumstances do a duet with her.
Speaking in today's Everyday Star, she stated: 'I do not assume we would ever collaborate. We don’t really do the identical sort of music.'
Nicole also rather snippily revealed that she had desired to be on the panel with Simon instead of a co-host.
She said: 'It was Simon’s decision that I wasn’t on the panel, not mine - but the way that I search at it really is I have under no circumstances really hosted just before, so it is a brand new challenge.'
But to avoid generating herself look too bitter, she insisted she thought Cheryl could be a hit with American audiences.

She mentioned: 'I feel Cheryl will go down fantastic. She’s an astounding girl and I believe people will fall in enjoy with her.'
Cheryl meanwhile has been experimenting with her image as she attempts to win the hearts the American public ahead of her debut on the show.
Having said that, she missed the mark on quite a few occasion with even Simon Cowell saying he did not approve of her 'big hair' on her to begin with audition earlier this month in Los Angeles.
He chided: 'I wasn’t seriously taken by her hair. It was the equivalent of five gallons of hairspray and then stand inside the middle of a hurricane.'
However, Cheryl seemed to edge it more than Paula at the Chicago auditions final night inside a sweet spotted Sonia Rykiel shift, whereas Ms Abdul was mismatched and loud in florals and leopard print.
Meanwhile, final night's American Idol revealed the winner will either be Lauren Alaina or Scotty McCreery - soon after Haley Reinhart was eliminated from the show.
Alaina, 16, and McCreery, 17, will go head to head for the tenth American Idol title subsequent Tuesday.
A record 95m votes were recorded immediately after the semi-final show last evening.
