Hair scare! Tulisa shows off dodgy curls as she steps out in tight black and gold dress at Sony Radio Awards

She’s never afraid to try a new hairstyle but Monday night’s look might not be one Tulisa will want to repeat in a hurry.

The 24-year-old singer arrived at the Sony Radio Academy Awards showing off an unflattering head of tight curls.

The hairstyle made it look like Tulisa had a bouffant mullet with corkscrew curls, a combination that proved less than appealing.

Eye-cathing: Tulisa stood out at the Sony Radio Academy Awards at London's Grosvenor House on Monday evening

The Young singer wore a strapless black and gold dress and lashings of fake tan to the event, held at Grosvenor House.

To finish off her outfit she wore a pair of black peep toe heels and sported fake eyelashes, as well as acrylic nails.

Plenty of familiar faces turned out to attend the event, to celebrate radio stations, presenters and digital services.

Hair raising: Tulisa hair looked a little bizarre with a bouffon style section on top and curls down either side

On show: Tulisa broke the first rule of fashion by having both her cleavage and legs on display

Caroline Flack decided to wear a bright ensemble for the evening, showcasing a vibrant orange crop top and high waisted skirt for the evening.

She continued the bold hue theme with a coral manicure and hugged a hard case clutch bag.

As she made her way to the event Caroline tweeted: 'Off to the sonys in a really GOOD mood.'

Detail: Caroline carried a bag which looked like the front of an old fashioned cinema

Katie Piper wore a pair of on-trend baroque printed trousers in pink teamed with a cream blouse.

Retired swimmer Rebecca Adlington opted for a royal blue dress with a peplum detail.

Former Big Brother star turned DJ Kate Lawler wore a monochrome striped maxi dress with cut out detailing.

The blonde Kerrang! presenter arrived with a big smile on her face, perhaps because she was nominated in the Best Entertainment Programme category.

Kate told her Twitter followers that she wouldn't be appearing on her show and wrote: 'I won't be on @KerrangRadio today as I'm at The Sony Radio Awards where I'm up against 4 men in Best Entertainment programme. #GirlPower :-).'

Unfortunately while she might have won in the style stakes, Kate lost out to Danny Baker and his Radio 5 Live show.

Summery: Myleene Klass opted for a feminine and floral dress with her bra on show beneath

Danny Baker collected the award, just months after he famously quit another BBC show with a valedictory two-hour live rant.

The presenter lambasted corporation bosses last year after learning his BBC London series was being axed, and did not go back to see out the end of his run.

Baker's victory - beating rivals such as Radio 1's Greg James - is his third win at the Sony Radio Academy Awards in as many years.

Today programme host John Humphrys triumphed, landing the radio journalism award after his grilling of George Entwistle led to the BBC director-general quitting hours later.

The 69-year-old Radio 4 presenter savaged Entwistle over his handling of the fallout from the Jimmy Savile scandal and the bumbling performance led to him resigning as DG after just 54 days.

Broadcaster Steve Lamacq, a tireless champion of new music since starting at Radio 1 two decades ago, was given the Special Award in recognition of his contribution.

The event was hosted by Chris Evans and guests were treated to performances by The Saturdays, Robbie Williams and Jamie Cullen.
