The X Factor finalists are rumoured to be tackling Elton John hits this weekend; and if these backstage pictures are anything to go by, they're even copying his extravagant hairstyles.
The contestants were spotted outside the ITV studios in a variety of wigs, including an extravagant Louis XIV style, somewhat similar to the one Elton wore for his birthday a few years ago.
Katie Waissel led the dressing up, modelling a curly black and white style, textured bob, and shaggy blonde mullet.
Mary Byrne looked slightly less amused by the wigs - although her blonde style did actually resemble Katie's hair from the show last week!

Cher Lloyd joined in the fun too - although her baggy dungarees are actually more distracting than the Bride of Frankenstein hairpiece.
The boys from One Direction don't appear too impressed by their wigs either - perhaps Harry is worried that his natural curls might end up looking like this once he's prised away from the show's expert stylists?
