Roberts 'accepted by fashion elite'

Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts has been described as "officially hot" after appearing as a regular at London Fashion Week.

The singer was given a front row seat at shows for Luella, PPQ, Westwood and House Of Holland, prompting claims that she could forge a successful career in fashion.

"Nicola's officially hot right now," a source told Heat. "The fashion set love her."

Roberts, who has been working on her make-up range Dainty Doll while Girls Aloud take a break, was last year deemed not "cool enough" to be given a front row seat at the fashion shows.

"It was tough, but she wasn't quite the right person to have front row for a lot of the fashion brands," the source added.

"She desperately wanted to go to the shows, but she wasn't seen as cool enough."

The star has previously been reported to be in talks with Vivienne Westwood to front a new campaign.
