Little Mix were crowned the winners of The X Factor last night. But over the past 10 weeks another competition has been taking place... that of the most stylish judge.
Gary Barlow almost made the cut with a dapper collection of well-cut three-piece suits, but the real competition was between Tulisa and Kelly.
Here we look over the past 10 weeks and show how Kelly pipped Tulisa to the post - starting with this week-end's outfits which left the Little Mix mentor looking uncomfortable while Kelly, literally, shone.
Neither Kelly nor Tulisa wore their most stylish dresses last night. Kelly's was too complicated and Tulisa's left her unable to walk
THE FINAL WEEKEND: KELLY WINS
Tulisa's dotty choice looked a little like she had borrowed it off a child, while Kelly played it a little too safe in Nicholas Oakwell
Tulisa's blue Fyodor Golan fishtail gown was not her most flattering dress, while Kelly's Julien Macdonald mullet dress was on trend but too complicated
Tulisa looked uncomfortable in both the frocks she chose to wear over the weekend.
On Saturday she struggled to fit all of her spotted tutu under the judges desk - and the short front sometimes threatened to reveal a little too much.
On Sunday, the blue Fyodor Golan fishtail dress was not her most flattering frock, and the tightness around the knees left Tulisa struggling to walk.
Kelly, went for a safe but stylish navy blue Nicholas Oakwell pleated frock on Saturday. But on Sunday she showed off her enviable pins with an on-trend mullet dress. The bespoke Julien Macdonald couture frock's platinum colour was great, but the golden detailing meant there was almost too much going on.
And how the judges compared for the rest of the competition...
WEEK ONE: KELLY WINS
It's the first week and Tulisa looks stuning in Herve Leger, but Kelly wins points for the on-trend Versace frock
Tulisa's dress is slightly too short and isn't a patch on Kelly's elaborate Roberto Cavalli gown
For the opening show, Tulisa and Kelly opted for very different looks.
Kelly gets extra points for being so on-trend with the 90's style and has the figure to pull of the Versace dress.
Tulisa looked pretty in a nude Herve Leger dress.
For Sunday however, Tulisa's Vivienne Westwood dress is slightly too short.
Kelly looks stunning in a Roberto Cavalli floor-length gown.
WEEK TWO: TULISA WINS
Tulisa gets a A for effort in a leather mullet dress while Kelly's Todd Lynn number looks too demure for the X Factor
Tulisa looks stunnng in a cream dress, a similar look to former judge Cheryl Cole, while Kelly's Julien Macdonald dress shows too much cleavage
Kelly opts for a demure look in a Todd Lynn burgundy dress, which although flattering, is missing the wow-factor.
Tulisa's leather-effect mullet dress is almost too big for her but she stole the show the following day, as Kelly's Julien Macdonald dress revealed too much cleavage.
WEEK THREE: KELLY WINS
Kelly wins hands down with her Topshop leather dress and Alaia belt while Tulisa looks good in Herve Leger
Tulisa's D&G dress could have done with less material while Kelly looked elegant in sheer Falguni & Shane Peacock dress
Kelly wowed the crowd with her Topshop leather dress and Alaia belt. Tulisa wore Herve Leger, which wasn't the most flattering outfit she has ever worn.
For Sunday, Kelly wins again in sheer Falguni & Shane Peacock while Tulisa's D&G dress could have done with less material.
WEEK FOUR: TULISA WINS
Tulisa's Halloween outfit is as cute as a kitten while Alexandra Burke didn't bother with a costume
Tulisa rocked an Alexander McQueen and outshines Alexandra's colourful outfit
It's halloween and Tulisa wins an A for effort in a cute cat outfit. Alexandra Burke stood in for the Destiny's Child singer, who was recovering from illness.
The next day, Tulisa looked gorgeous in Alexander McQueen.
WEEK FIVE: KELLY WINS
There is nothing wrong with Tulisa's LBD but Kelly's Alberta Ferretti gown is a red carpet winner
The pair looks similar in black and white but Tulisa's shoes are a show-stopper
Kelly is back on form and steals the show in a pink Alberta Ferretti gown while Tulisa narrowly missed the crown in a flattering little black dress and again on Sunday as Kelly rocked a Galliano gown.
WEEK SIX: KELLY WINS
Tulisa rocks a Bruce Oldfield gown while Kelly goes for the androgynous look in a black Stella McCartney tuxedo
Kelly's floor-length gowns - or in this case a Corrie Nielsen blouse and Elie Tahari skirt - are becoming her signature look while Tulisa opts for sequins
Tulisa looks gorgeous in a Bruce Oldfield dress while Kelly goes for the androgynous look in a black Stella McCartney tuxedo.
But the U.S singer beat Tulisa on Sunday in an elegant Corrie Nielsen blouse and Elie Tahari skirt.
WEEK 7 - KELLY WINS
Kelly wows the crowd in a Sass & Bide dress while Tulisa plays it safe in another LBD, this time from Versace's collection for H&M
Tulisa opts for pretty lace while Kelly goes for Philip Armstrong in a metallic shade of the same blue-green
Kelly looks fresh in a Sass & Bide Aztec-style dress while Tulisa's little black dress from Versace's collection for H&M seemed somewhat repetitive.
She wore a pretty lace dress on Sunday - which Cat Deeley has also worn in the past - while Kelly opted for metallic Philip Armstrong.
WEEK 8 - KELLY WINS
Tulisa shows off her animal instinct while Kelly is electric in blue Georges Chakra
Tulisa commits a faux-pas as she reveals her underwear while Kelly goes for demure in a Hugo Boss Grecian dress
Tulisa opted for tiger-print while Kelly showed off an electric blue Georges Chakra dress.
On Sunday, Kelly's Hugo Boss pared-down chic looked stylish while Tulisa went for sexy body-con which revealed a little too much from behind.
WEEK NINE - TULISA WINS
Tulisa's Herve Leger dress is let down by the jewellery while Kelly goes for monochrome Osman
Both judges rock the metallic look, but Kelly opts for floor-length Jenny Packham while Tulisa goes for her favourite mini
Tulisa's Herve Leger dress was let down by the jewellery. Kelly went for the sexy secretary look in monochrome Osman.
Tulisa looked hot in a capped-shoulder dress on Sunday while Kelly opted for full-length Jenny Packham.
