See X Factor stars’ incredible NEW superstar transformations after live show makeovers are finally revealed
THIS year's X Factor contestants have undergone incredible superstar transformations ahead of tonight's first live show.
They're been primped, preened and given a whole new fashion look before they take to the stage and sing their hearts out to try and win the competition.
The Girls
Simon is in charge of the girls for the first time in the show's history and he made sure they were all looking slick for their live TV debut.
Emily Middlemas
Emily Middlemas, 17, was given a trendy wardrobe makeover and in her new promo shot is dressed in a silk bomber, black skirt, white top and a black choker.
They also gave her a slick new hairdo, changing her straight her to loose waves.
No doubt her boyfriend, Ryan Lawrie - who's in the Boys category - will love her new look.
Gifty Louise
Gifty has kept her distinctive look and went for a colourful print top for her X Factor photoshoot.
Samantha Lavery
17-year-old Samantha Lavery looked stunning in her new makeover and went for more of a smoky eye.
She also wore a louder leopard print top and dark hair sitting naturally on her shoulders.
The Boys
Nicole Scherzinger is the boys' mentor, and has made sure her top three look like perfect teen idols ahead of their live debut this weekend.
Freddy Parker
Freddy Parker stood out at his first audition for his voice…and his slightly crazy blonde barnet.
The 18-year-old had his locks sticking up in all sorts of directions, with a little top knot at the back of his head for good measure, but thankfully the X Factor style team have ditched the mini-man bun and coiffed his hair into a smoother, more stylish quiff.
Ryan Lawrie
Ryan Lawrie was first seen on the show with a messy mop of brown curls on the top of his head and a distressed white T-shirt and jeans combo.
Now, his curls have been preened and glossed to perfection, and while the white T-shirt remains, the 20-year-old has gained a funky new denim jacket.
We bet girlfriend and fellow contestant Emily Middlemas will be delighted with his new heartthrob look.
Matt Terry
Matt was labelled a 'Louis Tomlinson lookalike' as soon as he walked into the audition room, but managed to wow the judges with his voice as well as his looks.
The singer has rocked a quiff throughout the contest, and it's nice to see the stylists haven't messed with his signature do too much. We're loving the denim jacket too.
The Overs
Sharon Osbourne is the overs' mentor, and has made sure her top three look like as eccentric and quirky as their personalities ahead of their live debut this weekend.
Honey G
The controversial 35-year-old rapper looked bling-tastic and rap-ready for the live shows.
The makeover has seen Honey G adorned with more glitz and splashes of colour, bright red trainers and spiked baseball cap.
Of course she also donned a chunky gold chain.
Relley C
The 26-year-old comeback kid already had a very different look to her 2013 dual-coloured bob, but her recent makeover gave her a more defined look with a slight punky edge.
Previous auditions saw her wearing either tracksuit bottoms and a cardigan or a slick white outfit with pink pumps and gold bling.
Her new look, however, sees her in a belted khaki jumpsuit with spiked glitzy heeled boots and her hair given major volume.
Saara Aalto
Finnish singer Saara Aalto, 29, has gone from boho chic to glitzy chick.
She has been lit up with extra glitz in a silver dress and futuristic jewellery, but her make-up was toned down to give her a more natural look.
Saara also no longer had glitter stuck above her eyebrows in dots.
The Groups
Louis Walsh is the overs' mentor, and has made sure his top three look like proper boy bands (well, kind of) ahead of their live debut this weekend.
Bratavio
Well there hasn't been a re-emergence of those dotty outfits.
The duo looked as wacky as usual in their makeover outfits, with Ottavio wearing a leopard print jacket with a pair of pants (no shirt of course).
He also wore a jewelled cap. As you do.
Bradley wore a demure red leather jacket and had rather toned-down make-up in comparison to usual with just a simple brush of blusher and eyebrow pencil.
Brooks Way
17-year-olds Josh and Kyle ramped up the cuteness factor with a check shirt over a white t-shirt and backwards cap.
The other donned a red hoodie underneath a white jacket and headband.
5 After Midnight
The three lads enhanced their urban look with hoodies, torn jeans and bling.
Trio Jordan, 20, Kieran, 21, and Nathan, 23, grinned as they posed for the camera.
