Newly blonde Cheryl Cole put her X Factor troubles behind her for 28th birthday party.
Showing off her new honey blonde asymmetrical choppy bob properly for the first time, the popstar looked glowing and happy as she arrived at the Sanderson Hotel in London's Fitzrovia to host her birthday bash.
The glamorous Geordie was dressed to impress in a white sixties-style mini dress by Stella McCartney, teamed with strappy high heels and gold earrings.
Guests at the party included none other than her replacement on the UK X Factor judging panel, Tulisa from N-Dubz.

A smiling and newly-blonde Cheryl Cole unveiled her new look at her 28th birthday party.
The two singers have apparently kept on good terms after Tulisa took over Cheryl's role on the reality show, with Tulisa even revealing that her predecessor sent her flowers to say good luck on her first day in the job.
Cheryl's close friend and mentor Will.I.Am also joined in the fun, despite having been evacuated from the five-star Hilton hotel earlier in the evening, after a fire erupted in the basement kitchen.

The singer looked stunning in a white Stella McCartney Autumn/Winter 2011 dress with circular embellishments, which she teamed with a pair of champagne sandals.
Despite ongoing speculation of a reunion with ex-husband Ashley Cole, her date for the night was her brother Garry.
Her Girls Aloud bandmates, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts also showed up to celebrate the occasion.
