Cheryl dons bizarre check boots at BGC charity day

She made a showstopping return to the spotlight earlier this month, five months after welcoming her first baby.

And Cheryl was commanding attention again as she put on a quirky sartorial display at the star-studded BGC Charity Day in London on Monday afternoon. 

The 34-year-old singer, who welcomed baby Bear in March, showed off her trim post-baby body in a graphic print tee teamed with bizarre thigh-high checked stiletto boots.

Going for a rock-chick slash country vibe, the former Girls Aloud star mixed her patterns and teamed the unusual footwear with a tweed asymmetric skirt.

She cinched in her shirt with a Gucci belt, which has certainly done the rounds as boyfriend Liam Payne was also seen wearing the expensive accessory last week.

Looking glowing and radiant, the pop princess wore her glossy chestnut locks loose and flowing over her shoulders.

Cheryl was among a host of stars lending their support on the day including Keira Knightley, 32, and national treasure Mary Berry, 82.

The cinematic beauty took the day in her stride as she showcased her personal style in a striking floral midi dress while manning the phones all in the name of charity.

Her full-length maxi dress featured charming silk cuff detail and matching collar which added a whimsical edge to her designer ensemble.

Keira’s chic look skimmed her leafy figure with aplomb while she added inches to her petite frame with a pair of suede wedge platform heels that featured studded detailing.

Looking effortlessly stylish, the Anna Karenina actress – who is mother to daughter Edie with husband James Righton – left her glossy brown tresses loose in a straight style while working a soft smokey eye for the occasion.

Style muse Keira sartorial display is unsurprising as she was first unveiled as the face of Coco Mademoiselle in 2007, taking over the role from Kate Moss.

She has since starred in campaigns for other Chanel lines, including fine jewellery collection Coco Crush and lipstick range Rouge Coco.

Earlier this year, Keira reprised her role as Elizabeth Swann in the new Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The Chanel darling returned to the famous series after ten years, having skipped its fourth installment On Stranger Tides in 2011. Keira was first rumoured to be returning to the series back in December, but producers have remained quiet about her cameo until the trailer was released earlier this year.

Just before Christmas it was reported the actress had filmed scenes for the flick on Queensland’s Gold Coast, Australia, in secret.

TooFab went on to claim her role was simply a ‘small cameo during the end credits’ – however it is thought to be a vehicle for her more significant lead in the series’ already-confirmed sixth chapter.

After filming Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End, the actress was adamant she wouldn’t be reprising her role as the proper young lady turned swashbuckling pirate. 

Speaking in 2014, she confessed: ‘No, I don’t think so. It was an amazing point in my life, but it was a good five year chunk. I can’t really imagine going back to it.’ 

The film follows a string of hit projects for Keira, who took some time away from acting in recent weeks after welcoming her daughter Edie. 

She finished shooting new post WWII drama The Aftermath in the Czech Republic at the start of this year, before going on to star in the Comic Relief special of iconic rom-com Love Actually. 

The star only made two films across 2015 and 2016 – in light of giving birth to her now 22-month-old Edie, with Klaxons frontman husband James Righton.

Elsewhere, Elizabeth Hurley looked right at home at the fundraiser as she raised money for Walking With The Wounded/Wounded Veterans Fund.

A sight for sore eyes in a fuchsia minidress, the ultra-glamorous 52-year-old could have stopped traffic with her appearance as she played up to the cameras with phones on both ears. 

Kicked back with her legs crossed in strappy stilettos, the brunette did her best to blend in and got stuck in with the phonecalls.

But she made quite the contrast to suited and booted BGC partners in her tiny pink bodydress dress. The extravagant, pussybow garment featured a feathered bust and a keyhole cutout on the collar with sequinned flowers decorating it.

To match her bright appearance, the Royals actress was in a giddy mood, laughing out loud as she surprised callers at the other end of the line.

She laughed and chatted in a playful manner while comedian Alan Carr spurred her on from the sidelines. 

Actress Elizabeth is an ambassador for the Walking With The Wounded charity, which raises funds for and awareness of the issues faced by wounded ex-servicemen and women.

The moviestar is well known for her charitable work, the most notable of which include the Elton John AIDS Foundation, Oxfam and Macmillan Cancer Support – which is often the reason behind her fuchsia fashion choices.

The annual BGC charity day takes place on September 11 in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund.

It is held to remember 658 friends and colleagues of the company and the 61 Eurobrokers employees who were killed in the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York in 2001.

Margot Robbie and Jake Gyllenhaal are among the Hollywood stars who have lent their support to the annual fundraiser by answering phones.

Liz had her Hollywood pals in mind on Saturday when she paid tribute to former co-star and ex-boyfriend Hugh Grant.

Writing a birthday post to her ‘best friend of 30 years’, Elizabeth shared a throwback picture with the 52-year-old from their heyday.

The Saturdays Frankie Bridge, 28, and her husband Wayne, 37, joined the stream of celebrities for worthwhile day, showcasing her newly-dyed pixie crop, who debuted her tresses late last month.

Prior to rocketing to fame in 2007 as one fifth of The Saturdays, Frankie got her first hint of fame in S Club Juniors from 2001 to 2005. 

Frankie’s appearance comes after she and her footballer husband spoke openly about their struggles to keep the spark alive in the bedroom on the Channel 4 show Married to a Celebrity.

She blamed her husband’s inability to read her cues on the show, complaining that he has a habit of trying to initiate sex at the wrong time.

But ex-footballer Wayne insists that whenever he attempts to be spontaneous between the sheets, Frankie always has an excuse.

Wayne, who took part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here 2016, admitted while appearing on the reality show that the pair struggled to have sex because their children, Carter and Parker, took up so much of their time.

But Frankie told the Channel 4 cameras: ‘Every relationship will have this same issue. Everyone is tired.’

The former pop star added that remarks like ‘I have a headache’, or ‘babe, I am particularly tired tonight’ had a tendency to go ‘straight in one ear and out of the other.. and [then he thinks] “oh, it’s a really good time to put the moves on” at like two in the morning’.

Asked why he chose not to inform his wife of his intentions sooner, Wayne replies that he ‘wasn’t horny’ then.

A good-natured Wayne then suggested that they pre-arrange a time for intercourse, but an unimpressed Frankie shoots him down. ‘I don’t like booking it in. I like a bit of spontaneity,’ she explains.

‘You like spontaneity but you moan about it when I’m doing it,’ he retorted. His wife fired back: ‘I still want a bit of romance, but just not when I have a headache.’

‘You do have a lot of headaches…’ he agreed, but the pair are all smiles as they chat on screen.

Also on hand to help raise funds was Hollywood actor Danny DeVito, pregnant Katie Piper, CBB winner and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding and TV presenter Melanie Sykes.
