They are known for their stylish displays and glamorous onstage appearances.
However Girls Aloud looked a world away from the stage personas as they were seen making their way to the first day of tour rehearsals at a studio in North London on Tuesday.
While Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts drove themselves to the studio as they arrived in their luxury £50,000 Mercedes, Nadine took a chauffeur car as she chose not to drive herself.
Appearing behind the wheel, Cheryl looked to be concentrating while stuck in traffic as she wrapped up in a coat.
Meanwhile Kimberley embraced her natural looks while also sporting a pair of glasses in the rare candid appearance.

Girls Aloud are set to kick off their reunion tour next month, after confirming rumours that they would be getting back together last year, marking 21 years since their formation.
In announcing the tour in November, the foursome revealed the group have not recorded new music but just want to celebrate their back catalogue.
Cheryl revealed they had been discussing the plans for some time but put the idea on ice when Sarah Harding – who died in September 2021 – was diagnosed with cancer.
She said in a statement: ‘We all started talking about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20-year anniversary a few years ago. The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing that we would celebrate.
‘But when Sarah fell ill all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon.’
The group plan to use the tour to ‘celebrate’ their late friend.

It comes after the group insisted they ‘don’t do disagreements, just differences in opinions,’ but things got hilariously heated during a recent radio interview on Scott Mills’ Radio 2 show.
A video posted on BBC Radio 2’s Instagram page showed the interview descending into chaos after Scott innocently asked the band if they will be performing some new covers on the tour.
Nicola was first to answer, insisting ‘I don’t think we’ve got space,’ only for Cheryl to chime in telling Scott ‘I’ve said it several times, people like it!’
Nadine was in the opposite camp though, interrupting to say: ‘I was dead against it. I’m like we’ve got so many songs of Girls Aloud as our own. Why do we need to be doing it?’
‘But we can add just one random cover, it’s fun!’ Cheryl hit back.
Scott hilariously told listeners: ‘You join as there is a slight disagreement with Girls Aloud in between whether they should do covers or just the hits. We’ll be back after this…’
The video then picked up as the girls continued to talk over one another, with Scott explaining: ‘Girls Aloud are here and they’re still discussing whether they’re going to do a cover version or just their hits. Have we come to an agreement yet?’
An exasperated Cheryl continued: ‘I’m not saying we shouldn’t be doing any,’ before pleading ‘guys’ when she was interrupted again.

Mediating, Scott told Cheryl to speak, who explained ‘I think we should do all and… for the sake of three minutes more.’
‘But how long’s the show? Five hours?’ pointed out Scott, prompting Nadine to declare ‘exactly!’
‘We’re going to have to raise hands again,’ Scott quipped.
The band have been sharing their own hilarious memes and videos to promote their tour, with their latest post on Monday poking fun at their repeated insistence that they would never get back together.
