She wowed fans when she unveiled her new blonde hair earlier this year, and now Cheryl Cole is mixing things up with yet another new look.

The 28-year-old singer stepped out with her bob teased into tumbling curls after a lengthy trip to a hair salon earlier this week.

Cheryl teamed her wavy look with a £345 Marc Jacobs printed panther minidress, brown boots and a £855 Ralph Lauren satchel-type bag as she made the most of the sunshine during her trip to New York.

As well as recording her second solo album in the Big Apple, the Girls Aloud star also jetted to Hollywood to film a cameo role in upcoming movie What To Expect When You're Expecting.

But Cheryl has also apparently found time for a bit of romance, and was recently romantically linked to music producer Alex Da Kid, with whom she has been working on her new material.

A source told the Sun: 'Cheryl and Alex have struck up a great friendship and have been living in each other's pockets for the past week.

'Some of the recording sessions have run into the very early hours with just the two of them and a laptop in their hotel rooms.

'Cheryl has been suffering from jet lag and couldn't sleep , so they have just worked through the night.

'It hasn't been all work though - they've enjoyed some play too.

'If the music is going to work, then they need to find their own chemistry.'

Cheryl has also been keeping her fans updated with what's going on with the recording on her Twitter page, which she set up earlier this year.

She tweeted earlier this week: 'I'm gonna have to get some patience.

;This is hard.. I'm too frustrated with excitement for you to hear my new music.. I could pop!!'

But one thing Cheryl fans are set to be disappointed about are reports that the singer was set to return to the UK X Factor for the live final.

N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, who replaced Cheryl on the show, said the rumours are not true.

She explained: 'I can 100 per cent reassure fans I'll be sitting in that judge's chair in the final. Cheryl and I talk and laugh at the rumours about her.

'We've sat down and had the conversation at her birthday party. People are going to make up rumour after rumour. It's been intense.'
