Style stealer ... Cher Lloyd at Essex performance

 

 

SHE was praised on the X Factor for having a unique style - but diva Cher Lloyd has started stealing hair tips from Rihanna.

Whisked away ... after gig

The 17-year-old dyed her dark locks a deep red just like the Only Girl singer for a gig at South Woodford's Funky Mojoe Bar last night.
Singer Cher, who came fourth on the hit ITV1 singing contest, donned plenty of bling for the occasion including a pair of large gold hoop earrings, and a personalised gold chain bearing the slogan 'Turn UR Cher On'.
And alongside her fingerless leather gloves Cher added a spiky gold bracelet to one arm to complete her severe new image.

Before ... during X Factor

The black and gold ensemble was only softened by the singer's jumper which bore a leopard print heart.
Despite her new look, her gig didn't go down well - with onlookers saying she was whisked away from the club after just 15 minutes.
Clubbers seemed to get bored of the artist's performance after her second song, with a number leaving the venue rather than listening to her, while others booed the teen.
