X Factor's Tulisa spends £12000 on new teeth!

Wowzers, how amazing does Tulisa look with her new teeth?

Stepping out at yesterday’s red carpet X Factor launch at London’s 02 Arena, 23-year-old Tulisa showed off the £12,000 veneers that she’s splashed out on for her first year as a judge on the new series.

Looking fantastic in a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood black dress, Tulisa and her new smile looked like she had walked straight out of Hollywood.

The Camden-born singer, from band N-Dubz, recently tweeted about her supposed style transformation into the doppelganger of Cheryl Cole, saying: 'It doesn’t bother me she’s a lovely girl and she’s inspiring cus we both came from nothin 2 somethin”.

Tulisa’s father Plato Contostavlos spoke about his daughter’s dental alterations by saying: “The industry she's in, she needs to look her best, it's every girls' dream to want to improve and to want to look even more beautiful" and "She's had her teeth done for 12k, why not if it makes her feel better?"

Also attempting to stay away from any more Cheryl Cole comparisons, Tulisa recently went on a night out on the town with fellow X Factor judge Kelly Rowland with a new addition to her hair; a blonde streak through the fringe. The highlighted front section now keeps her looking like the old Tulisa and to stop that hairdo being constantly judged against Chezza’s.

But we’re left wondering if Tulisa’s decision to fork out for new teeth was her own idea, or SyCo’s founder Simon Cowell’s? After all, didn’t Cheryl Cole pay for a new set of pearly white gnashers before her stint as X Factor judge? And if Cowell can persuade even Louis Walsh to book a trip to the surgeons….
