Now

Putting Cheryl on the cover of a magazine guarantees sales. She was on the cover of the February 2009 issue of British Vogue and the magazine got its best February figures ever. She was also voted "Sexiest Woman in the World" by FHM Magazine.

Cheryl has changed her style. Now she favours short tight dresses, usually from Herve Leger; super-high platform heels from Christian Louboutin and lots and lots of hair. (Dave M. Benett)

Cheryl is part of the all-girl group, Girls Aloud. The group was created in 2002 thanks to a reality-tv show called  "Popstars: The Rivals." The group consists of (pictured) Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, and Cheryl. The group is huge in the UK with 20 UK top 10s and two UK number one albums. They have also been nominated for four BRIT Awards. (Rosie Greenway/Gettyimages.com)

The WAG

If you're a big football/soccer fan, then you may know about the WAGS - the Wives and Girlfriends of the super famous footballers. The top WAG is Victoria Beckham, married to David Beckham, but Cheryl Cole, who is married to Chelsea footballer Ashley Cole, is the number two WAG in the U.K.

Lottery ad

Cheryl also did commercials like this rather unfortunate ad. She paired up with her husband, Ashley Cole to promote the National Lottery. It entailed wearing matching tacky outfits. (Chris Jackson/Gettyimages.com)

A little animal print

Cheryl is a presence at London Fashion Week. Instead of her traditional big hair, she tries a ponytail and some heavy, brow-grazing bangs. Of course, every celeb must have a touch of animal print in her wardrobe. (MJ Kim/Gettyimages.com)

Not good in a halter

Of course, not all outfits are great ones. This gold halter overwhelms the petite Mrs. Cole and makes her neck disappear. (Dave M. Bennett/Gettyimages.com)

Sharp in black

Cheryl is toned down in this all-black suit. Usually she's not afraid to wear a lot of colour. (Dave M. Benett/Gettyimages.com)

Great in grey

Cheryl is considered quite the fashion icon in the UK. There's a definite Cheryl look: Sky-high heels, usually Christian Louboutins, big hair and a short dress (by Leger). (Danny Martindale/Gettyimages.com)
