Nicola Roberts: ‘I was so insecure, but I’ve finally accepted who I am’

nicola roberts fabulous magazine

Wearing the obligatory oversized shades, Nicola Roberts breezes into our shoot a super-starry hour and a half late.Muttering something about a delayed doctor’s appointment, she air-kisses her way round the Hollywood-esque entourage who have been waiting patiently for her arrival.

In the past, she was always very much the fifth member of Girls Aloud – the baby of the group, the reluctant star, often painted as the shy, slightly sulky redhead. But today Nicola is a confident, tough-talking sex kitten and fast becoming a style icon.

The low self-esteem that once tormented her has been banished and a gutsy young woman is starting to emerge.

“I was so insecure, but you’ve got to accept who you are,” she says.

And it’s clear she has. Gone is the fake tan Nicola once slathered herself in to compete with her bandmates. Gone too are the golden highlights she used to disguise the red hair that made her the butt of so many cruel taunts.

It’s taken time, but she has finally embraced her looks. And so have others.

Now, Nicola, 24, is regularly spotted in prime position on the coveted front row at top fashion shows, has designers queuing up to dress her and, after 18 months of hard work, has just fully launched her own brand of make-up – Dainty Doll – designed especially for girls with pale skin.

Calendar girl Cheryl Cole

THIS calendar girl has a Cole lotta X Factor – and she’s showing it all in these seXy new shots.

Cheryl returned to our screens on the ITV1 show last night, reminding us how much we’ve missed her. And now we can all make a date to enjoy the gorgeous Geordie for the whole of next year in her 2011 official calendar.

The 27-year-old beauty headed to America’s West Coast to become a California girl, striking some smouldering poses. And if May and July are anything to go by, our forecast for next summer is hot, hot, HOT.

Our first picture shows the Girls Aloud babe looking tutu fruity in a skimpy ballet outfit teamed with chunky black peep-toe boots. By July she’s legged it to the pool, where she makes a splash in a tiny dress split to the navel.
In August a sexily dishevelled Cheryl is flying the flag in Union Jack top and red micro shorts as she leans suggestively against a wall.

And in the cover shot, she commands Attention! with her unique take on the military look, perhaps inspired by the video for her number one solo single Fight For This Love. An army-style cap and hobnail boots accessorise her see through dress and bikini.

And X Factor boss Simon Cowell – branded a “miserable so-and-so” by Cheryl – might want to snap one up himself.

If these pictures don’t cheer him up, the show’s contestents should brace themselves for a bumpy ride.

Sarah Harding: ‘My hot new look – this is the real me’

The fiery fifth of Girls Aloud, 28, reveals her softer side as she talks leaving her reckless alter ego behind, acting aspirations and her secrets to looking beach-ready…

Despite having a reputation as the wild child of Girls Aloud (even though she’s the oldest in the group at 28), Sarah Harding has kept the lowest profile of the all the girls since they announced they were having a break to pursue their own projects in July last year.

So we were excited, if a little bit surprised, when out of the blue we were invited to catch up with her for an exclusive chat. And once we got Sarah started, she didn’t hold back. She was more candid and chatty than ever before, and top of her agenda was revealing the reasons for her radical new look, why she thinks people have got her all wrong, and how she’s now free to show her true colours…

So with your new look and posing with rose petals for our exclusive cover photo – don’t say you’ve gone all Julie Andrews on us?
Ha ha. The whole point of growing my hair was to try to become a little bit more feminine. I just wanted to change how I felt about myself, especially now the band is on a break. It’s the perfect time to rediscover who I am and get my identity back, rather than being a character in a band. So yeah, I think I’m sort of softening up.

You’re portrayed as a party animal, so are you a bit misunderstood?
Yeah, that was kind of my role in the band and, don’t get me wrong, every girl my age likes to go out and party with their friends, but really I’m quite a homebody and I always have been. I’m fine with this wild image, but that’s not what I’m about. I just want to show another side to me, and I think the new look is a much truer reflection of who I really am. I’ve definitely got a girlier side, but not everyone gets to see it. Now they can.

‘I’ve cried, felt fat and thrown clothes around. But I’m now happy with my body’

When we first see Kimberley Walsh, she looks like a ’50s swimwear goddess.We’re in awe of her glamorous hourglass figure. Not that she’s aware of it.

She smiles falteringly as she places a shawl around her hips, trying to hide them from the camera. “I’ve got extreme proportions,” she explains – her way of saying she has a tiny waist and a J-Lo-style bum.

During her year off from Girls Aloud, which has seen each member pursuing solo projects, Kimberley, 28, has been trying her hand at TV presenting. We’re here today to talk about her new documentary on jeans, part the history of denim and its cowboy origins, part our love/hate relationship with them.

“How traumatic is jeans shopping?” Kimberley asks. “It’s as if it’s designed to make us feel bad about ourselves.

“You know what size you are, but it doesn’t work with jeans. If I buy skinny jeans, I have to go a size bigger, but with high-waisted ones, I might be two sizes smaller. Does anyone else find it a painful experience or am I out there on my own?” We tell her we’ve shed tears jeans shopping.

“I’ve cried too, in vile changing rooms with horrible lighting,” she confides.

And that’s the thing about Kimberley. Within minutes of meeting her, you feel you can tell her anything. She’s the Girls Aloud member who has always seemed one of us. Down to earth, a girls’ girl, a womanly woman, a typical Yorkshire lass. She shares our frustrations and our fears. And while we’ve watched her band mates get skinny, Kimberley has maintained her curves. So is she happy with her body?
