The hype around the return of Girls Aloud cannot be unterstated and the legends headed on a night out in London to blow off some steam.
Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle, and Nicola Roberts reunited for the Smirnoff: We Do Us initiative launch, although a performance would have to wait as Cheryl wasn’t in attendance.
Girls Aloud were the talk of the night as fans – even famous ones – tried to catch a glimpse of the trio together as they chatted happily in the backstage crowd.
They were in high spirits with Kimberley, in a gorgeous bedazzled top and leather trousers, laughing as Metro.co.uk asked her about Cheryl’s now infamous Love Machine comment.
The venue was brightly decorated for the colourful launch event as the famous guests, including Sex Education’s George Robinson, arrived at London’s Leake Street night club.
Celebrities like Vick Hope and Roman Kemp mingled at the bar as excitement built for the surprise performers; Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Mel C.

The Spice Girls legend put on an impressive DJ set to finish the high energy night, with drag performers dancing away as she remixed Who Do You Think You are.
The crowd understandably went absolutely wild for Mel, dancing away into the early hours as she vogued behind the decks in a sparkling silver dress.
Could we possibly get the ultimate girl band collaboration with Mel joining forces with Girls Aloud, we can only dream.
Before Sporty Spice, Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne took to the stage at the intimate venue belting out some of her new music to the delight of everyone gathered.

Always a stellar performer, the icon who looked like a denim dream in her outfit, prompting an eruption of cheering from the eager crowd as she did a cheeky dance break.
Layton Williams had been one of the first to arrive as a host for the evening, looking glam in a leopard print sequin two piece, fresh off his Strictly dance off and hard launching his new boyfriend – a busy week for the actor.
Suits seemed to be the trend for the evening as Nicola was rocking a grey suit jacket and matching trousers, in stark contrast to her glowing auburn hair.

Bandmate Nadine was ultra glam in a bedazzled black coat over her striped suit as she arrived fashionably late and joined the others backstage.
Earlier in the night Eurovision’s Mae Muller had stunned the crowd with a warm up performance, looking glam in a white shirt and low rise smart trousers.
DJ sets from Lou Bru and Drag Race’s Jonbers Blonde had kept the excitement going as Drag Syndrome took to the stage and then the dancefloor, bopping with the crowd.
Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri, DJ Jaguar Bingham, and Drag Race’s Le Fil also made stylish appearances at the event.
