They've both made the move to the UK to act as talent show judges.
But the competition really heated up between Pussycat Dolls Ashley Roberts and Nicole Scherzinger on Wednesday night when they tried to outdo each other on the National Television Awards red carpet.
Unfortunately for X Factor mentor Nicole, her blonde band-mate stole the show in a floor-length white gown, leaving her in the fashion shade.
Fashion face-off: Ashley Roberts looks elegant in a floor-length white gown while fellow Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger wears a black ensemble
The Dancing On Ice star, who picked up an award for I'm A Celebrity, looked stylish but modest in the embellished white dress, which had an intricate neckline.
Nicole, on the other hand, was dressed head-to-toe in black but managed to reveal a little too much when the flashbulbs went off.
The dress turned sheer in the lights, showing that the singer was braless except for some strategically placed nipple covers.
Red carpet win: Ashley steals the show in the chic and sophisticated white dress
Sheer daring: Nicole leaves little to the imagination as the camera flash bulbs turn her dress see-through
TV presenter chums Holly Willoughby and Christine Bleakley chatted on the red carpet, both looking on-trend and stylish in figure-hugging outfits.
This Morning host Holly showed off her famously curvy-figure in a skin-tight black dress, while friend Christine went for a more daring look in a red dress with lace paneling.
Holly opted for a splash of bright red lipstick while the Dancing On Ice host went for a far more fresh-faced look.

TOWIE sisters Sam and Billie Faiers pulled it out of the bag as they hit the red carpet, stealing the show in elegant floor-length gowns.
Ditching their usual Essex style, the reality stars opted for old-school Hollywood glamour as they arrived at the O2, looking chic and on-trend.
Hollywood glamour: TOWIE's Sam Faiers goes all out in a floor-length, black gown at the National Television Awards
Sam looked like she was channeling Marilyn Monroe in a sultry black, sequined dress, which draped along the floor behind her.
She added a splash of red lipstick and wore her hair straight and with soft flicks at the end, posing for photos with a dapper-looking Joey Essex.
Her sister Billie looked demure but stylish in a floor-length grey dress, which featured a lace top and a revealing split up the front.
Stylish couple: Sam and boyfriend Joey Essex cosy up as they pose for photographs

She wore her blonde hair in a retro beehive and also wore a slightly darker shade of red lipstick than her sister.
Fellow TOWIE star Jessica Wright also went for a long gown, but wore hers backless and bright white, ensuring that all eyes were on her.
There was a Grecian twist to her outfit as she added touches of gold and wore her dark hair in a high top knot.

New hair do: Lucy Mecklenburgh shows off her new bob haircut as she stays close to Mario Falcone
Unflattering: Gemma Collins wears an unflattering blue draped dress, drowning her figure
Unfortunately, bubbly cast-mate Gemma Colllins didn't look quite as chic as her fellow stars, wearing an unflattering and eye-catching billowing blue dress.
Lucy Mecklenbugh debuted her newly cut bob as she showed off her beaded, blue gown, staying close to boyfriend Mario Falcone.
Tulisa kick-started the fashion fail parade by showing off her nude Spanx in her floaty white dress.
Newly solo singer Tulisa, 24, opted for a plunging white dress with a ruched waist and daring middle split which on first looked showed off her curvy figure to perfection.
Spanx alert! Not even Tulisa's plunging neckline could distract attention from her fashion fail (and the awards haven't even started yet)
It was all going so well... Tulisa tried to keep her almost knee-length slimming aid covered... unsuccessfully
Nice lipstick! Tulisa accesorised her all white look with some perfect pink lipstick
Tulisa does demure... and fails: The former N-Dubz star failed to pull off an all white number
The X Factor is nominated for best talent show so former N-Dubz star Tulisa obviously wanted to look her best, although for the rest of the evening she may want to consider not pulling her split too far open.
WAG Tulisa looked like she was on her way to the swanky bash alone, leaving footballer beau Danny Simpson at home.
Organisers of the 18th annual event will celebrate the success of the Olympics and Paralympics with a special award and will celebrate favourite moments from the sporting spectacular.
Prizes will be handed out at a star-studded ceremony at London's O2 Arena on January 23 and televised on ITV1 at 7.30pm.
