Girl bands define important moments in pop culture. Putting girl power in the spotlight and the world at their pretty feet, the eighties gave rise to sister acts Salt-N-Pepa and Bananarama, with the nineties then celebrating female bands The Spice Girls and Destiny’s Child. Today, the first all girl band ever to win the UK’s X-Factor, Little Mix, have enjoyed two number one singles, released their debut album DNA to critical acclaim and are now touring the UK showcasing dancefloor storming new material.

Not just pretty faces, these four girls know how to work it and graft hard for their own success. Developing their look as their sound has evolved, the quartet’s trendsetting, eye-popping outfits and statement beauty looks have won them an international audience. Celebrated by girls and adored by boys, they are to now what Ginger, Sporty, Scary and Baby were to then. Pssst, learn how they got so damn good looking here. These are Little Mix’s must do beauty commandments.

Leigh: I’m sitting in my management’s office café wearing some white and red Air Jordans, high waisted blue jeans, a white and red T-shirt with the Fresh Prince on the front and a black leather biker jacket that my boyfriend bought me!

WE NEED TO HEAR THIS *NOW*

When Little Mix teased that there was a ‘big surprise’ in store with their fourth, final and downright amazing DNA single How Ya Doin’?, our imaginations went into overdrive. A video featuring the giraffe from Zayn Malik and Perrie Edwards’ safari trip that time, maybe? Free hair dye kits with every purchase? A guest appearance from Mr. Blobby? Well wonder no more, ’cause the girls have now revealed that rap legend Missy Elliott’s gonna be on the track. AGH.

Yup – dust off your shellsuits and prepare to set your freak switch to ‘on’ – as Missy’s gonna perform a ‘guest rap’ on the joint-best single of the year so far (alongside Demi Lovato’s Heart Attack, obvs).
Chatting to The Mirror in a very excitable manner (and probably an Aussie accent), Jesy said “We honestly can’t believe that Missy is on our song! She’s been one of our biggest idols for ever – it’s incredible.

“As soon as we thought there might be a chance she’d appear on the track we did literally everything we could to make sure it happened.” We take this as meaning they all went round to her pad (which we saw on Cribs once – it’s quite impressive) and begged until she said yes. Not that she’d take much persuading.

In a recent interview, the girls from The Saturdays talked about Little Mix, what they think about them and if there will be any collaboration between them!

Let’s make sure that happens. And on the subject of very good UK bands, what do you think of Little Mix? Is there any girlband claws-out competition there?

“Oh, we love them. We’ve been around now as long as Girls Aloud had been when we first started, and they were so welcoming to us. There was never any competition ’cause they’d been around and established themselves. So we welcome them along and it’s great to see another girlband out there.”

Ooh, you should DEFINITELY do a collaboration with them.

That’d be cool. I’d love to do that. Because we’re not rivalling them or anything, it’d be more about girl power than ‘oh, we don’t want any other girls around’.

Little Mix have revealed to Digital Spy that there will be a “big surprise” for their next single ‘How Ya Doin’?’.

The group teased that fans can expect a surprise from their next release, which is officially out in May.

“It was tricky with ‘Change Your Life’ because a lot of fans already had it from the album,” Jade Thirlwall told Digital Spy ahead of their acoustic session for Spotify.

“It’s hard to push songs that have been available to buy for months already, whereas ‘How Ya Doin’?” is a bit different.”

Asked if they had altered the song for its single release, Jesy Nelson teased: “You’ll have to wait and see – there’s definitely a big surprise coming. Be prepared!”

Discussing the music video for the track, Leigh-Anne Pinnock revealed: “It’s fun and there’s lots of dancing. It’s very animated and there’s some amazing choreography. We all love dancing and each have our own style which works really well.”

‘How Ya Doin’?’ marks the fifth and final single from the group’s debut album DNA, which entered the charts at number three last November.

Little Mix star Jesy Nelson is looking hotter than ever. So hot that even her own bandmates are envious of her womanly curves,

“We all tell Jesy how much we want her curves,” Jade Thirlwall told heat exclusively when we bumped into her at the launch party for Rihanna’s River Island clothing collection.

“We all feel like little girls and she’s got this great body that everybody wants. She’s really toned, [her body’s] amazing,” she added.

When Jessy first found fame on The X Factor she was targeted by Internet trolls about her weight, and when we spokes to her during a night out last month she still seemed unhappy with her figure, “I wish I didn’t have this body! I guess it’s all the dancing [that’s helped me tone up]. I’ve still got my boobs and my bum.”

Jesy, we agree with your bandmates Jade, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Ann Pinnock – you look amazing right now.
