You're not meant to be shopping for YOU! Nicole Scherzinger can't resist stocking up on new clothes... as she takes X Factor's Hannah Barrett on a shopping spree

She might have her choice of the most fashion-forward items around, but Nicole Scherzinger doesn't get much time to shop for clothes herself.
So when the X Factor judge was given the chance to hit up one of the high street's hottest stores to choose an outfit for contestant Hannah Barrett ahead of this weekend's live shows, the former Pussycat Dolls star couldn't resist indulging in some retail therapy herself.
Nicole was seen with her arms laden with clothes as she and Hannah checked out the garbs in River Island on Oxford Street.

Stocking up: But Nicole couldn't resist picking up some clothes for herself as well, such as a very attractive Disney onesie
The 35-year-old wore a black trouser suit with a plunging double-breasted jacket and white pointed court shoes as she arrived at the store with Hannah.
X Factor hopeful Hannah, meanwhile, opted for an eye-catching black and yellow checked pair of dungarees, with high-top trainers and a leather jacket for the outing.
Once inside, Nicole got to work picking out potential outfits for Hannah, with a huge pile of clothes soon piling up.
What do you think of this? Nicole looked dubious about one of Hannah's fashion choices inside the store

But ever-thinking about her own appearance, Nicole appeared particularly smitten when she caught sight of a furry black hat - quickly accessorising her own outfit with the headpiece.
Colours were clearly on the menu for Nicole, who grabbed armful after armful of eye-wateringly bright outfits for Hannah to try on.
Another item that caught Nicole's eye was a less than trendy Mickey and Minnie Mouse onesie, which the singer was seen holding up for Hannah's approval, looking slightly apprehensive about her contestant's reaction.

It remains to be seen just what ensemble Nicole found Hannah for this weekend's live shows, which have a theme of Love And Heartbreak.
Meanwhile, the outing came after Nicole earlier this week blasted online trolls who labelled Hannah and her fellow contestants Abi Alton, 19, and 16-year-old Tamera Foster 'fat, ugly and talentless'.
Nicole said: 'People always have something bad to say. I've gone through that kind of storm and come out the other side.

Won't you be hot in that? Hannah appeared particularly taken with a fur-trimmed khaki coat
'I can speak from a real place of strength and hopefully inspire them to be strong. They've got me on their side, I've got their backs. This is where I can lift them up. I get so protective over the girls.
'I am really involved, psychologically, spiritually, emotionally and mentally. We all have our own insecurities and fears but I want them to have confidence in being themselves.'
And while Hannah admitted the abuse was a 'down side' to the show, she insisted that she and her fellow contestants are helping each other through it.
She said: 'All three of us have experienced the down side already. We've all been told we're this and we're that but if we weren't talented then we wouldn't be sitting here.
'It's hard to deal with but we support each other.'
The X Factor is on ITV1 on Saturday and Sunday nights at 9pm.
