Leaving the Cheryl Cole drama far behind her, Nicole Scherzinger looked stunning last night at the official launch of The X Factor USA at the Arclight cinema in Hollywood.
Scherzinger pulled out all the stops for the event, arriving on the red carpet in a silver bedazzled column dress and her hair slicked back in a Pocahontas style plait.
Fellow judge Paula Abdul embraced the star in a very public display of unity at the event, where she arrived in killer gold spiky shoes and a sequinned mini dress.

However, Simon’s ex-girlfriend Teri Seymour got a little heavy-handed with the powder it seems.
