Girls Aloud dine — then go through hell for leather

Cheryl Cole braved the cold in a sleeveless skintight leather dress for Kimberley Walsh’s 31st birthday party at Zuma restaurant in Knightsbridge.

Walsh chose leather trousers, while their Girls Aloud bandmate Nicola Roberts, 27 wore a woolly but kept the theme going with a leather-look skirt. Nadine Coyle and Sarah Harding were nowhere to be seen, but the other three band members clearly had fun.

Cole, 29, later tweeted a picture of herself with the message: “Almost ate myself to death... why did we do the desserts ???” Walsh responded: “Time to undo the leather trousers.”
