Her act Little Mix made X Factor history when they became the first girl group ever to win the show.

So Tulisa Contostavlos certainly deserved to enjoy the limelight at the show's wrap party last night.

And boyfriend Fazer was only too happy to let her, taking the sideline in a reserved black suit while Tulisa stole the show in eye-catching gold.

Stealing the show: Tulisa stood out in her gold ensemble next to boyfriend Fazer at the X Factor wrap party at the DSTRKT club in London last night

Can you breathe in that? Tulisa's fitted dress didn't leave much room spare, but it certainly showcased her curves

The 23-year-old showed off her figure in the figure-hugging one-shoulder dress from online brand Forever Unique, displaying her enviable curves.

Her sparkly ensemble made quite the contrast to Fazer's understated cool.

The rapper even wore sunglasses, presumably to shield his eyes from the glare of the photographer's flashes.

The pair were thick as thieves, though Fazer hung behind a little upon their arrival, letting Tulisa take the brunt of the paparazzis' attention.

Opposites attract? Tulisa's eye-catching ensemble made quite the contrast to Fazer's laid-back black

It appears a small understanding may have taken place however, as Tulisa tweeted later on: 'And as 4 the paps opening my car doors while I'm waiting 4 friends, any pics of me shoutin 2moz its cus I told them 2 get off the door!'

Not wanting to to be misrepresented she added: 'Not because ...n yes i can guess the headlines 'tulisa throws drunken strop' believe me I wish I'd had more 2 drink after that!#toosober'

The irritation didn't appear to detract from her night's enjoyment however, as she looked cheerful throughout.

Tulisa's understandably been in the mood to celebrate ever since her 'little muffins' made X Factor history by becoming the first girl group to take home the prize on Sunday.

Not so keen on the cameras? Fazer looked a little irritated by the attention, whereas Tulisa was only to happy to flash a smile

She tweeted in the early hours of Monday morning: 'what do ya do after ur act wins the xfactor?...go 2 ur local kebab shop of course, wooooiiiiii....LOVE U #LITTLEMIX keep it real'

But while she clutched on to her beau last night, there was no sign of their band mate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night: 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the wrap party.

Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

Well that's one way to be remembered! Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

It may have been Little Mix who walked away with The X Factor crown, but that's not stopping the other contestants fighting to prolong their 15 minutes of fame.

The undignified bunch turned up to celebrate the end of the series at the season wrap party in London on Tuesday night.

And it was Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis who left a lasting impression as they flashed their flesh and underwear for all to see.

Baring all: Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis gave a bit too much of an eyeful at the end of season bash

 

'Comeback Kid' Amelia forgot to match her knickers to her hair when she accidentally revealed a bit too much at the bash.

Walking along with a huge grin on her face, Amelia appeared to be oblivious as she hooked her beige dress up to reveal her under garments.

 

More demure: Amelia managed to cover up after accidentally giving her fans one last thing to remember

 

No hard feelings: Misha B and Sophie Habibis greeted each other warmly with an affectionate hug

The 17-year-old, who was also dressed in a black leather jacket, had decided to bare her legs despite the wintry weather.

And she may live to regret her choice as she grasped her blue clutch bag, as well as the hem of her skirt.

Champions: Little Mix attended the party, with glamourpuss Leigh-Anne Pinnock the only one to wear heels

But she wasn't the only contestant who made an impact for the wrong reasons at the party.

Sophie Habibis, who was one of the first to be voted off the competition, stood out in an interesting coral mini dress with frayed floorlength hem.

Celebrations: Tulisa took along boyfriend Fazer to mark her winning the show with Little Mix, but where's their N-Dubz bandmate Dappy?

Partying: Tulisa was ecstatic her girl group won the competition on her first season as judge on the show

But even the bright colour couldn't prevent all eyes heading to her chest.

The 19-year-old pushed her cleavage in to the strapless frock but her curves spilled out, revealing her black bra.

The singers were all celebrating the end of the show, which saw Gary Barlow's act Marcus Collins walk away with the runner's up prize.

Gothic chic: Kitty Brucknell opted for an all-black ensemble, but could barely see through her false eyelashes

Where's Harry? The Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack stepped out minus her One Direction toyboy

Unlike the girls, the 23-year-old Scouser managed to stay looking dapper as he arrived at the bash, wearing his trademark large smile with black trousers and top.

And 23-year-old X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos also couldn't keep herself away from the party as she celebrated her big win on her first season of the show.

Dapper: Runner-up Marcus was all smiles as he managed to keep himself covered up

Reunited: Marcus and Craig Colton grew close on the show, with the runner-up devastated when his vote was voted out

Dragging her boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Fazer along for the festivities, the singer looked stunning in a tight gold asymmetrical mini dress from online fashion brand Forever Unique.

And while she clutched on to her beau, there was no sign of their bandmate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

Still causing a ruckus: Frankie Cocozza shunned the attention, with Jonjo Kerr stepping in to help guide the wild child through the photographers

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the party.

How girls outshone the X Factor boys: Females topped vote each week but millions switch off

By Simon Neville

Last updated at 8:00 AM on 13th December 2011


This year’s X Factor series proved to be a case of Girl Power reigning supreme.

The programme has released the voting percentages for the entire series, which show that female contestants were consistently more popular than the boys.

Irish teenager Janet Devlin received the most votes in the early weeks with eventual winners Little Mix not surging through until the latter stages of the competition.

X-Factor winners Little Mix (l-r Jade, Jesy, Perrie, Leigh Ann) with judge Tulisa Contoslavos (in centre). Girls outshone the boys in this years program

In 2010, winner Matt Cardle topped the voting throughout the entire series.
But this year, three acts took turns to grab the public’s affections and lead the field.

Miss Devlin, 17, was the bookmakers’ early favourite to win the competition, topping the poll in the first four weeks.


This included securing nearly a quarter of the total votes cast in the first week of voting.

She came second in week six behind the reinstated Amelia Lily, 17, who replaced Frankie Cocozza, 18, after he was axed for boasting of drug-taking.

High performing girls: Janet Devlin, Misha Bryan and Amelia Lily stole the show at this year's X-Factor

But after a string of poor performances, including twice forgetting her words, Miss Devlin slipped back and her position was taken by Little Mix.

Miss Lily’s popularity was also confirmed in the figures, topping the poll twice and being runner-up once, as well as taking third place in the final. the overall runner-up Marcus Collins, 23, never topped the public vote.

His best performance came in week five, when he gained second place.

Misha Bryan, 19, widely thought to have the strongest voice on the show, and who finished fourth, had the most varied set of results.

In week three she came third, but a week later she was bottom of the poll.

In week seven she finished second, only to once again end up last in week eight.

The figures that really matter, however, are the ratings.

The final, which aired live from Wembley Arena in North London on Sunday evening, was down more than four million viewers on the previous year.

Outshone: Marcus Collins (left), 23 never topped the public vote while Franie Cocozza (right), 17, was booted from the show for boasting about drug taking

It had an average audience of 13.1million, according to overnight TV ratings figures. That compared unfavourably to the 17.2million who watched Matt Cardle triumph in the 2010 competition.

Indeed, it was the lowest average audience for the final of the series since 2007, when Leon Jackson won the show.

ITV could at least draw comfort from the series still being the third most successful in The X Factor’s history.

The final helped to boost the series average up to 11million viewers across the 17-week run. It was also the second most watched show on British TV this year, behind only the Royal Wedding in April.

ITV also pointed out that BBC1 rival Strictly Come Dancing had averaged 9.7million viewers this series.

However, Strictly’s finale does not take place until this weekend, which is likely to boost its overall viewing figures substantially.

Tulisa may have mentored Little Mix to victory, but Kelly is crowned style queen

And the winner is... Tulisa may have mentored Little Mix to victory, but Kelly is crowned style queen

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.

• Little Mix hit the jackpot! Girl group set to make £8 million from lucrative contracts after winning the X Factor
• Didn't you learn last night? Yesterday she struggled to sit down, now Tulisa CAN'T WALK in 'mermaid' skirt at the X Factor Final

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.
