Little girl lost: Cher Lloyd defends her image as she poses in a pristine white blouse and Alice band for the new issue of Wonderland magazine
During her time on The X Factor, Cher Lloyd clashed with the show's stylists over which direction to take her dress sense in.
So after months in leggings, tutus and hoodies, the 17-year-old was finally coaxed out of her streetwear for a sophisticated magazine shoot.
Her dyed red hair was been straightened and groomed, pushed back with a preppy Alice band as the reality star poses in a white blouse in the new issue of Wonderland magazine.
Lady who lunches: The 17-year-old singer admits the negative press does bother her, insisting she's just trying to be herself
In another shot, the singer looks like a lady who lunches - red hair aside - in her satin top and pearl earrings.
Discussing her decision to dye her hair from dark brown to red earlier this year, she told the magazine: 'I wanted something that would sort of represent me, that’s fiery and outgoing. So I thought a bit of a red would do me good. I want to get my nose pierced too.'
And despite issues over her costumes for the live X Factor shows, Cher relished in the chance to show a different side to her usual haphazard-style of dressing.
Although Cher has been accused of copying mentor Cheryl Cole and Rihanna, the Worcestershire-native insists it's her own style.

She said: 'I want to go for something completely different. I’d just like people to see me as me. What’s the point in comparing?'
Despite coming fourth in The X Factor last year and ending up in the sing-off on several occasions, record bosses are convinced Cher could be the next big thing and offered her a record deal.
Cher spent several weeks in Los Angeles earlier this year recording her debut album, which is due for release in August.
