Stunner Cheryl Cole resembled a Strictly Come Dancing finalist last night as she stepped out to celebrate her 26th birthday in a show-stopping Alexander McQueen dress.

The Girls Aloud sensation left little to the imagination as she tottered with her hubby and fellow band members into London's hotspot, Vanilla.

Keen to keep her X Factor status, Cheryl teamed her sheer tasselled delight with a nude pair of Christian Louboutin heels.

And while Ashley Cole looked mesmerized by his wife's ample display, photographers claim it was in fact Cheryl's mum who became the focus of the night.

As the jubilant gang continued their night at the Fitzrovia Club, the paparazzi were left in shock when the 49-year-old flaunted more than her designer frock as she climbed into her awaiting car.

Take note famous mums, keep your underwear absent and you will upstage your daughter!
