Where do you get your inspiration from? N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos wore a hooded dress similar in style to the ones Cheryl Cole wore back in 2010


They've got more than a little in common - they are two of the biggest names in music who have found themselves on the X Factor judging panel.

But it seems N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos is following in Cheryl Cole's footsteps in more ways than one, after she was seen wearing a hooded dress similar in style to the ones favoured by Cheryl as she performed at T4 On The Beach today.

The 22-year-old singer took to the stage in Weston-Super-Mare today wearing a super-tight grey minidress, which she teamed with black shoe boots as she performed with N-Dubz.

However, the dress was very similar to the outfits sported by Cheryl when she was promoting her album 3 Words in 2010.

But Tulisa didn't seem to mind that she had taken fashion inspiration from the Girls Aloud star as she performed for excited fans.

Afterwards, she tweeted: 'Yeees T4 on the beach! SMASHED IT! NO MIMING! U know how we dooooo! Off home 2 feed the dog n cook dinner haha x'

Tulisa was named one of the judges on the new X Factor UK panel earlier this year alongside Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Kelly Rowland.

But Cheryl showed there were no hard feelings about the singer replacing her on the panel when she invited Tulisa to her 28th birthday party in London earlier this month.

The N-Dubz singer previously revealed that her predecessor sent her flowers to say good luck on her first day on the job and the two soon became friends.


Working it: Tulisa performed some of the group's best-known tracks with the rest of N-Dubz, incluing Playing With Fire


Going down well: One dancer certainly seemed pretty appreciative of Tulisa's outfit as she danced away


X Factor host Dermot O'Leary said recently he was excited for people to see the new X Factor panel when the show starts later this year.

Describing the judges, he said: 'Gary has been majestic and presidential, and Kelly has this accent dipped in honey and she just sounds wonderful.

'When you hear her talk you realise she was one third of Destiny's Child and they were the world's biggest girl group.

Belting it out: Tulisa has certainly been keeping busy with her X Factor duties and her N-Dubz gigs


'And of course Tulisa has been in the industry since she was 11.'

It has certainly been a busy weekend for Tulisa, because as well as performing at T4 On The Beach, they also took to the stage at T In The Park in Balado, Scotland, the day before.

Tulisa wore a similarly sexy outfit of a pair of black lace-up trousers, teamed with a black corset-style top and a black and white leather jacket.
