The last session of X Factor 2012 auditions is currently underway and it’s clear that the judges have pulled out all the fashion stops for the event….well three of them did anyway.

This afternoon the team from the ITV show hit Cardiff, to check out the best of the Welsh talent and we already brought you pictures of Tulisa Contostavlos, looking totally stunning in her blue striped body con dress.

Now, we have got our hands on some new shots including Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh all suited and booted and looking their best for the last batch of hopefuls they will see before bootcamp.

Nicole looked like she was ready for a summers day – pity about all the rain we’ve been having though – in her yellow figure hugging satin gown, long flowing locks and smokey makeup.

After posting this picture of Gary, the X Factor’s official Facebook page hit the nail on the head when they commented:

‘Aloha! Gary is so hot he make us think of tropical islands and err, speedos.’

Even Louis has made some effort and had his new bushy head of hair especially blow dried into a great bouffant style for the occasion. He doesn’t look too bad for an old dude does he?

In just a few weeks time, The X Factor will move into it’s bootcamp stage, then we’ll be onto judges houses and in around seven to eight weeks the series will return to our TV screens every Saturday night from the middle of August right through until Christmas.

Get used to these four people….you’re going to be seeing a lot of them.
