Green goddess: Cheryl Cole couldn't stop smiling as she stepped out for dinner in Los Angeles in emerald skinny jeans


Us ladies know that when we're feeling blue all we need is our friends around us to lift our spirits - and something new to wear.

Which is certainly the case for Cheryl Cole who looked happier than she has in a long time as she dined out with close gal pal Kimberley Walsh.

And she teamed her bright smile with an equally bright pair of brand new green jeans as the girls giggled and laughed their way to the restaurant.


Bold colours have certainly been Cheryl's thing this year but she was slammed for her orange and purple outfit that she wore for her first day of X Factor USA auditions.

But last night the 28-year-old looked sensational in the emerald skinny jeans which showed off her tiny frame perfectly.

And her Girls Aloud co-star Kimberley, 29, looked equally as pretty in a sexy cream dress.

The girls arrived in Los Angeles on Thursday almost two months since Cheryl fled the city after being unceremoniously sacked from the US version of the talent show.

The girls were seen arriving at Los Angeles LAX airport and Cheryl had a massive smile on her face.

The defiant pop star was looking gorgeous in a Mongolian lamb waistcoat, jeans, black sandals and a blue T-shirt which she'd accessorised with a mushroom coloured handbag and beautiful big tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Kimberley meanwhile was in a multi-coloured print catsuit with a white belt and cream leather jacket, tan sandals and big black sunglasses.

As to the nature of girls' trip and whether it's business or pleasure, Cheryl's spokesperson told Mail Online: 'Cheryl is taking some time out as she said on her website last month.'

However, it's possible she could be househunting.

It was rumoured earlier this week that Cheryl has made a list of demands to ex Ashley Cole, 30, before they get back together.

It included a new family home - as well as an LA 'lovenest'.

However, Ashley remained in Britain as he is back in training at his football club Chelsea.

He returned to work with his teammates at the club's training ground in Cobham on Wednesday.

Cheryl was left humiliated when she was sacked from the U.S. version of the X Factor in May after just two weeks as a judge.

She was replaced by Nicole Scherzinger, who had been due to be a co-host on the series with Welsh hunk Steve Jones.

Producers were concerned her Geordie accent would be too difficult for an American audience to understand.

The devastated star immediately fled the States and hid out for weeks as she recovered.

She was so furious with show boss Simon Cowell that she even turned down the chance to return to the UK version.

Since her sacking, she disappeared from public view, and only emerged again last week with a brand new lighter bobbed hairstyle.

And myriad rumours have swirled this week surrounding her apparently rekindled romance with ex Ashley after they made a public display of affection at her 28th birthday in London last Friday.

Some reports say they're back together on Cheryl's condition that her mother Joan Callaghan is allowed to move back in with them, whereas other say he's banned her as he blamed the marriage breakdown on her constant presence.

Cheryl and Ashley are rumoured to be in the process of setting up home again together again in the £6million mansion they once shared in Hurtmore, Surrey.

Chelsea player Cole, 30, was awarded the house after their divorce was finalised in October, while his former wife moved into a rented home in Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire.

It's said that the Promise This star has also asked the England star to ditch his friends, who she deems as a bad influence, and has ordered that he check in with her twice a day on his mobile so she can keep track of his whereabouts.

Cheryl, who divorced cheating Ashley last September, is also said to want a top of the range recording studio, a secret exotic wedding, a luxury honeymoon, a ring 'that can be seen from outer space'.
