Cheryl Cole: Love or Hate?

WAG Cheryl Cole has transformed herself from another celebrity manufactured from the reality TV machine to the nation’s sweetheart over the past year, Cole Is one fifth of Girls Aloud and has become increasingly bigger n the public eye as an individual since becoming a judge on the X-factor panel in 2008.

As part of the super-styled Girls Aloud and X-factor judge, Geordie Cole has become famous for her sleek and on-trend outfit, her perfectly coiffered mane and those dimples. High Street name Dorothy Perkins have even been trying to cash in on her status with an NYC style ‘I heart Cheryl Cole’ t-shirt.

However, for me Cheryl is merely a product of celebrity styists and is emblematic of overstated WAG-chic along with fellow footballers partners Alex Curran and Coleen McLoughin – after all I failed to see a single tracksuit on the runways at the A/W 09 fashion weeks.

Don’t get me wrong - Cheryl has her charm and a definite likeability factor, (when not trying to out stage her contestants) however are her outfits really worth the cult-like status they have gained has amongst many across the country?

What are your thoughts on Cheryl’s fashion choices? Does she lead or merely follow where others have been before? My conclusion is the latter.
