Cheryl Cole is considering following in Victoria Beckham’s footsteps and launching her own clothing line.

Cheryl landed a mega advertising deal with L’Oreal this week and is now said to be considering a move into the fashion world.

“With her new hair and edgier clothes choices, Cheryl has told work colleagues that she wants to capitalise on her best-dressed status,” a source told the Evening Standard.

“And [she] is exploring the possibilities of launching her own fashion label next year.”

The insider continued: “Cheryl wants to pounce while she’s on top. She spent a great deal of time in LA and thinks her style can translate wonderfully across continents. But everything is in the early stages.”
