GIRLS Aloud got glammed up to celebrate the end of their career as a girl group last night.

Cheryl Cole typically turned heads in a stunning figure-hugging frock at the bands after-party in Manchester.

The singer was in smiley spirits as she showed off her fine physique and flowing crinkled locks.

Cheryls mum Joan was also at the Vermilion & Cinnabar bash, flaunting her legs in a short dress.

In stark contrast to Cheryl, Sarah Harding opted for a classy black gown.

She scrubbed up impressively for the occasion, sporting a nicely-groomed barnet, a skilled application of make-up and an eye-catching set of pins.

Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh also wowed in their chosen attire following Girls Alouds last ever gig which took place at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.

Despite the close duos show of unity, Nadine Coyle clearly wasnt in the mood to hold anyones hand.
