Purple minx: Cher Lloyd knows how to steal the limelight as she arrives at the Brits in an electric catsuit


Celebrities have a knack for smiling in the face of adversity.

And Cher Lloyd put her recent squabbles with Cheryl Cole behind her as she partied at the BRITs.

The former X Factor star graced the red carpet last night at London's O2 looking every inch the diva.


Appearing to have taken fashion tips from Jessie J, the Swagger Jagger singer slipped into a rather garish sparkly purple jumpsuit - but somehow managed to pull it off rather charmingly.

There was lashings of black eyeliner to give her a rock chick edge, but a pair of killer zebra striped Christian Louboutin Asteroid Spike heels with gold toe caps to elevate her into fashion icon status.

With her hair scraped off her face, the Malvern teenager posed with her hand on her hip, showing off her music clef tattoo and a ring on her wedding finger believed to be an engagement ring.

The 18-year-old songbird, usually joined at the hip with hairdresser boyfriend Craig Monk, is believed to have said 'yes' after he proposed during a holiday to Los Angeles last November.

A source told The Sun last month: 'Cher's been telling anyone who will listen that she's engaged to Craig, despite originally denying the news.

'She's head over heels and has been sporting an engagement ring since last month.'

Cher's recent run-in with Cheryl came after a rather vitriolic accusation that the Girls Aloud singer is incapable of singing live without the aid of autotune.

However, after the Geordie retaliated with a rather poignant tweet, notably 'unappreciation is ugly', Cher backtracked and apologised claiming she had been suffering from 'word vomit'.
