Nicola Roberts looked as chic as ever as she attended the Malone Souliers presentation during London Fashion Week on Monday. 

The Girls Aloud star, 39, wore a thick roll neck jumper that featured fluted sleeves for the event. 

She teamed the knitwear with smart тιԍнт fitting trousers and added a pair of strappy high heels. 

Nicola styled her hair into loose curls and opted for a very subtle makeup look to complete her outfit. 

London Fashion Week, presented by 1664 Blanc, kicked off on Thursday, with Monday’s events rounding off the schedule. 

Nicola’s outing comes after her former bandmate Kimberley Walsh described how ‘crazy emotional’ it was for Girls Aloud to go on their reunion tour this year, without Sarah Harding.

The iconic girl band was made up of Kimberley, 43, Nadine Coyle, Cheryl, Nicola, and Sarah, until her tragic death from breast cancer in 2021, aged 39.

In May, the group returned to the stage for the first time in 11 years to go on a huge UK tour, where their late bandmate was kept as the focus throughout.

The show included songs dedicated to Sarah, as well as emotional montages of the late star and a rendition of I’ll Stand By You featuring her vocals.

In a new interview, Kimberley has admitted that paying tribute to Sarah night after night was ‘gut-wrenching’ and that reuniting the band without her felt ‘so emotional’.

The mother-of-three even revealed that during the rehearsals for the show the group had ‘let it all out’ so that they could be strong enough to get through the live shows.

However, she added how important they all knew it was to follow Sarah’s wishes and show how she was an integral part of the band, admitting that despite it being ‘tough’ for them, they wanted to be able to honour and remember their friend.

Speaking to The Sun, she explained: ‘She wanted us to do it. She made it clear when she was here, but equally we felt it isn’t Girls Aloud without her. She’s such a mᴀssive part of it, so we wanted to keep her part of it. We’re trying to keep her spirit alive.

‘There wasn’t just one moment of her, we made the whole show have a thread of her throughout. And at times we were like: “Is this actually too sad?” Because for us it felt just gut-wrenching. But then, equally, she deserved that time and for people to remember her.’

Kimberley said the end result was ‘crazy emotional’, but described hearing Sarah’s vocals in arenas as ‘epic’ and confessed celebrating their bandmate alongside the fans had ended up being a ‘cathartic’ experience for the group.

She said: ‘It’s been cathartic for all of us to have that time and to almost grieve with the fans. 

‘They’ve grown up with us. And there’s no denying that her energy was really missed on stage. But I think everybody could feel that she was still very much intertwined within the show and the band.’

20 years after Girls Aloud released I’ll Stand By You for BBC Children In Need, the iconic band released a brand-new version of the track, with their beloved Sarah featuring exclusively on lead vocals throughout.
