We reckon Chez wishes these photos didn't exist...
Cheryl Cole is a global superstar with number one records, a stint judging on the X Factor and a whole load of modelling deals.
But while Chez might be a total style inspiration nowadays, it hasn’t always been like that and back in the day the telly star has had some pretty major disasters in the fashion stakes. Oh dear…
The Newcastle born star rose to fame in late 2002 when she auditioned on Popstars: The Rivals and after making it through to the final our Chezza was propelled into stardom with her Girls Aloud bandmates.
Since then, 34-year-old Cheryl’s career has taken her to more glitzy red carpets and star studded events than you could ever imagine. Which also means she’s also gone through a series of belly tops, 300 bottles of fake tan and some questionable head wear.

Luckily, over the years a sleek, sophisticated Cheryl has emerged which means she now spends her days clad in the best designer gowns money can buy. And since welcoming baby Bear with boyfriend Liam Payne, we reckon Cheryl’s style has evolved even more (although there’s recently been a few misses).
So in honour of Chezza’s style transformation, let’s take a look at her worst fashion fails…
