Rock chick: Nicola Roberts looked stylish and sexy in a leather jacket and short grey patterned dress as she attended London Fashion Week yesterday


She has slowly but surely become a fashion icon over the past couple of years.

And with Girls Aloud on hiatus as the band take time to work on solo projects, Nicola Roberts has managed to break away from the 'ginger one' tag to become a star in her own right.

So what better way for the singer to put herself even more on the style map than with some inspiration from London Fashion Week.

The 24-year-old was snapped at a couple of catwalk shows yesterday and looked stylish and sexy in a leather jacket and short grey patterned dress.

Accessorised with a quilted black handbag and Mary Jane-style heels, Nicola left her red shoulder-length hair loose and swept over on the left side.

She was first seen at the TopShop show for its Unique Spring/Summer 2011 collection at the old Eurostar Terminal at Waterloo station.

Nicola chatted to guests as she took her place in the front row for the show, which a pregnant Lily Allen also attended.

Then she made her way on to the Old Sorting Office in central London for the House of Holland show, where Lily was also at with supermodel Agyness Deyn.

Nicola has become a familiar face at London Fashion Week over the past year or so, and was seen at many catwalk shows in February and this time last year.

She has been praised for her own unique style although she has yet to venture down the Victoria Beckham route and turn pop star to fashion designer.

However, she does have her own make-up range called Dainty Doll, designed especially for girls like herself that have fair and pale skin.
