Jesy Little Mix – and those gold leggings, X Factor final, December 11th
You know, in the New Year one of my resolutions is going to be “stop talking about branching out into styling and actually do it”. And if I do, I can tell you that my “victims” would never be subjected to the sort of ridiculous styling seen on last night’s X Factor final.
If a young girl – no matter how talented a singer she is – is being torn apart on Twitter and other (anti)social networks on account of being “fat” (she’s not) and “ugly” (she’s just not conventionally pretty), why would a stylist think it was a good idea to put her in camel-toe-tight gold lame leggings on national TV? Talking point? Yes. Unabashed cruelty? Absolutely. Particularly given the unflattering “up the skirt” camera angle those girls have been subjected to every week. I saw more of Jesy Nelson’s “shape” than I ever wanted to last night – poor lass.
Jesy Mix could look absolutely brill with the right styling – she can fly the flag for “normal” girls everywhere and I hope she doesn’t change too much (i.e. starve herself) now she’s post-Factor. I also hope that whoever works with the band now they’re out of the circus makes the right fashion choices, especially for Jesy…she really deserves it.

I totally agree. If Jesy had been wearing what the girl on the right (mini-Sarah Harding) had been wearing, she’d have looked cute. Why put the curviest girl in the skin tight leggings? A bubble skirt or anything that flares from the waist would have been better. Love that they were wearing trainers though. Kept them grounded and real and just like every girl in the UK!
It deffo feels to me that they did it on purpose to get a reaction – and that is so unfair to Jesy. But I agree on the trainers front – makes a change to see female performers who DON’T look like they’re about to take a tumble! xx
