Who? X Factor judge and singer, Tulisa Contostavlos
What? Tulisa's zip-front dress, worn while exiting the X Factor studios, pays lip service to the distinct chill in the air via the hood but refuses to bow to meteorological pressure elsewhere what with the cleavage boosting and then the leg flashing.
It's not actually the first time we've seen a hooded dress - after all Lindsay Lohan was spotted wearing similar (although sparly rather than stripy) at a Golden Globes after party in 2010 - but it is the first time we've actively liked one.

Other opinions may vary but, as the lady herself said, "You're not going to be everyone's cup of tea - if you were you'd be a mug."
Where? Outside the Fountain Studios after The X Factor
