She may be four months pregnant, but it seems that Hilary Duff isn't ready to wear frumpy maternity clothes just yet.

The 24-year-old actress appears to be finding fashion inspiration from none other than Cheryl Cole - stepping out in the exact same print as the singer a day later.

The Girls Aloud star was photographed at LAX airport wearing a pair of tight trousers that appeared to be emblazoned in the X Factor print.

The odd item of clothing led to rumours that the Geordie was having a dig at former boss, Simon Cowell, about the recent drop in ratings for the  reality show.
