She spends hundreds of thousands of pounds on clothes every year. So it is refreshing to see even someone like Cheryl Cole knows a bargain when she sees one.
The 27-year-old was pictured taking a break between shoots on the latest £500,000 L’Oreal advertisement wearing a £25 pink fluffy dressing gown from Marks and Spencers.
And the star pattern on the robe gave fans an insight into what the singer – who landed herself her second solo number one hit with her new single Promise This this weekend – must really think of herself.
She teamed it with a pair of £35 fluffy mule slippers and almost had the girl-next-door look down to a tee.
And it would have been convincing, if it weren‘t for the full face of makeup, £750 hair extensions, £160 eyelash extensions and £90 manicure.
The picture will no doubt boost sales of the robe - which is already one of Marks and Spencers best sellers - by giving it the Cheryl Cole effect.
Last week Selfridges sold out of the £32 bondage-effect tights the singer wore on her X Factor appearance and a waiting list was created for the thousands of disappointed fans who missed out.
This weekend, Cheryl beat Rihanna to the number one spot with Promise This, which shifted 157,000 copies, the highest first-week sales of 2010 for a non-charity single.
Meanwhile the X Factor judge is reported to have stormed out of Saturday night‘s show because she was furious at fellow judge Simon Cowell.
The 51-year-old finally turned on his self-professed ‘best buddy‘ and criticised her for neglecting one of her acts.
After Treyc Cohen’s rendition of Take That’s Relight My Fire, he praised the hopeful’s performance but then accused Miss Cole for not putting as much energy into grooming her as he does with the others.
He said, “Treyc, I cannot fault that vocal. You are a great, great singer. The problem is that I do not think there is a connection between you and Cheryl.”
Turning to her mentor he said, ”You‘re not turning her into a recording artist, there is nothing original yet. You‘ve got to put some of the energies you are putting into the others to make her stand out.
Miss Cole looked gobsmacked before snapping back, “You are out of order, we have got a good connection.”
Cowell then challenged her claim by asking, “Where does she live then?”
