Amanda Holden goes for plunging gown and big hair as Alesha Dixon shows off her legs during first BGT live semi-final

Britain's Got... a style war: Amanda Holden goes for plunging gown and big hair as Alesha Dixon shows off her legs during first BGT live semi-final

It was the first of this week's live semi-finals so female judges Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden were bound to up the glamour and style factor on Monday evening's Britain's Got Talent.
And they certainly made an effort to stand out in their choice of outfits.
Alesha, 34, went for the less is more approach as she showed off as much skin as possible in a minuscule dress.

The former Mis-Teeq star revealed her legs in all their glory in the white and berry coloured printed frock.
    Alesha co-ordinated to perfection, even wearing berry coloured strappy shoes and matching lipstick.
    And to complete her look she wore her dark locks down in a bob and poker straight.

    Amanda, meanwhile, covered up0 more but still ensured she wasn't overshadowed as she opted for a plunging floorlength frock.
    Clearly pleased with her ensemble, Holden wrote on Twitter: 'Tonights dress is by @JAtonCouture, Shoes by Charlotte Olympia @charlottes_web, Jewellery by Kiki http://www.kiki.co.uk.'
    The TV judge gave off an Asian feel to her frock thanks to the floral pattern on the white background making it look kimono-esque.
    Happy for them: Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden looked on as the two successful acts became emotional

    Although it was partly her hair which drew the most attention thanks to the voluminous style.
    And the bouffant do certainly didn't go unnoticed by main judge Simon Cowell, who couldn't help but comment on it as Amanda sat down next to him.
    When speaking about the show, Simon said how 'massive' it was going to be, before quipping: 'Massive, like your hair.'
    Standing out: Amanda had clearly put a lot of effort in to her ensemble as she made an appearance during the first of the week's live semi-finals

    But Holden didn't seem to mind the cheeky remark and commented back: 'My hair's got volume Simon.'
    Although the girls soon took a back seat when the auditions started taking place and the wannabes became the stars.
    It was a nerve-wracking results show during the first Britain's Got Talent live semifinal.
    Volume! Amanda happily showed off her bouffant hair and even complimented dance troupe Youth Creation on their crimped hair styles

    While operatic brother duo Richard and Adam were the outright winners of Monday night's programme after gaining the most votes, the panel couldn't decide on the second person to put through.
    Taking it to the public vote after Alesha Dixon and Simon Cowell chose to save Youth Creation and David Walliams and Amanda Holden chose Arisxandra Libantino, it was the 11-year-old who finally became the second act to be put through to the finals.
    In an unsurprising outcome, the much-loved brothers received the most votes, while it was announced that previously popular acts including impressionist Phillip Green and Aaron Crowe were going straight home.
    Outright winners: Richard and Adam won the most votes on Monday's Britain's Got Talent semifinal, going straight through to the final

    The two acts with the second and third highest votes were then put to the judges, who had the chance to vote for the favourite.
    But when it came to Simon's turn to pick an act, he told Ant and Dec that he would be taking it to the public vote in a bid to make it as fair as possible.
    'I just knew this was going to happen - can't we put them both through? Can't I change the rules?,' he said, clearly unhappy with the decision he had to make.
    Couldn't decide: The judges couldn't agree on whether to send through Youth Creation or Arisxandra so it was sent it to the public vote

    'You're both winners, both of you. I actually can't make my mind up... I'm going to take it to the public vote by saying Youth Creation,' he added.
    The Geordie duo read out the results and it was the 11-year-old singing sensation who had come out on top, meaning that she'll join Richard and Adam at the live final.
