Mousing around: Cheryl Cole wore her long red hair pinned up in a Minnie Mouse-style buns on last night's X Factor
Over the past few weeks of The X Factor live shows, Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue have been competing to be the best dressed.
But on last night's results show, their outfits barely got a look in thanks to Cheryl's bizarre hairstyle.
The 27-year-old wore her long red hair tied up in a bow on her head with the loops looking like ears - drawing comparisons with cartoon character Minnie Mouse.

But while her hair may have looked more suitable for children's hour, her outfit was anything but.
After flaunting her cleavage in a low-cut gold Roberto Cavalli dress on Saturday, she managed to outdo herself last night by showing plenty of flesh in her revealing Editions by Georges Chakra gown.
The flowing chiffon skirt was slashed to the thigh showing plenty of leg, while the keyhole top barely covered her decolletage.
Rock n rolll: Dannii Minogue wore a pale blue leopard-print Emilia Wickstead jersey dress and Christian Louboutin pumps, which she teamed with a quiff
Meanwhile, Dannii went for more rockier look in a pale blue and black leopard-print Emilia Wickstead dress and Christian Louboutin heels.
Although in normal circumstances, Dannii's quiff would be considered quite edgy, it looked rather tame in comparison to Cheryl's wacky 'do.
While Dannii's outfit isn't the best we've seen from the 39-year-old this series, Cheryl's hairstyle meant she probably won Sunday's fashion war by default.
On Saturday's live show, the judges looked equally stylish for the first time ever in their floor-length gowns.

While Dannii, opted for a striking white toga-style asymmetrical Carla Zampatti gown and nude Sergio Rossi heels, Cheryl, looked amazing in strapless Roberto Cavalli column gown with long train.
Bar last Saturday's show, Cheryl has been outdone in the fashion stakes most weeks by Dannii - who launched her own fashion range Project D earlier this year.
Last Sunday, Cheryl opted for a gold asymmetrical Bodyamr mini, but was outclassed by Dannii in a sexy black three-quarter-length corseted Dolce & Gabbana dress.
However, the previous night, Dannii scored a rare fashion miss in her Philip Armstrong dress, which was overpowered by a huge gold bow.

Cheryl only managed to win by default in her lingerie-style Emilio Pucci dress, which she teamed with Christian Louboutin stilettos and a black feather fascinator.
Throughout this year's live shows, Cheryl has stuck to mostly short hemlines and black throughout the competition so far, in contrast to Dannii's more classic style.
The Australian judge has favoured dresses by Victoria Beckham and her own Project D line, which has proved a winning formula.

Despite an overall lead, Dannii insists her wardrobe is much less prepared this series than in previous years.
She said recently: 'Last year at this time I had pretty much organised every outfit, but this time I am only just starting to get stuff together and we are only a couple of weeks away.
'I am completely unorganised so I will be excited if I get out with a frock on the right way and I haven't got my shoes on my head
Leader: Dannii has impressed so far with a white lace J'Aton Couture number (left) and black prom-style dress by Project D (centre) in week 1, followed by a Victoria Beckham gown in week 2
Short and sweet: Cheryl has developed a uniform of short dresses in the past fortnight, following this black and white Jonathan Saunders number (left) for Halloween with a questionable 'Quality Street' style mini by Ina Soltani (centre) and last Saturday's Emilio Pucci (right)
Miss Minogue's natural style has seemingly worked in her favour in most instances, while Cheryl's team of stylists struggle to catch up.
Cheryl is styled by Frank Strachan, known as the 'Ferrari of stylists', with her budget for hair and make-up said to be an astonishing £80,000 and clothes £70,000.
Dannii meanwhile was said to spend around £2,000 per live show for her wardrobe and relies on Australian designers such as her good friends J'Aton Couture and her own line Project D to lend her clothes.
