Cheryl's transformation over the years as the Girls Aloud tour ends
She's had plenty of different looks!
Although she's kept herself out of the spotlight in recent years, Cheryl made a comeback to showbiz in 2023, making her West End debut in play 2:22 A Ghost Story, which she received amazing reviews for. After starting out her career in girl band Girls Aloud when the group were formed on Popstars: The Rival in 2002, Cheryl went on to enjoy an extensive career, in the band, as a solo artist and even as a TV talent judge on The X Factor and The Greatest Dancer.
Throughout her career, Cheryl has had some incredible looks - from her time in Girls Aloud, to her Cheryl Tweedy/Cole years, to the time of Fernandez-Versini, right through till now. As Cheryl has now finished the tour with Girls Aloud in May and June 2024, we've decided to take an extensive look at her different looks throughout the years.
