Is Girls Aloud Sarah Harding copying Amy Winehouse's shorts and bra look?

Who would have thought Amy Winehouse was a fashion icon for other stars?

Well, Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding for one seems to be following the troubled soul singer's sartorial style - or rather, lack of it.

Just like Miss Winehouse, who likes nothing better than wearing a cut-off shorts and a bra, the girlband member has taken to wearing... cut-off shorts and a bra (sort of).

The 26-year-old boasted the flesh-revealing ensemble yesterday in Brighton after wearing an equally skimpy outfit on stage the night before.

Meanwhile, 60 miles away in Camden, north London, Miss Winehouse, 24, was still wearing the combo she has donned almost every day for the last two weeks.

One wonders if the Back to Black singer knew Miss Harding was a fan of the less-is-more dresscode?

But her decision to go out wearing minimal clothing is unlikely to surprise anyone.

The singer made £100,000 just for posing in her underwear in a bra deal with Ultimo.

It's also thought the star's sexbomb image has earned her a total of £2.5million since Girls Aloud formed six years ago.

The group are also famed for giving sexually-charged performances.

At a recent Belfast concert, Miss Harding straddled half-naked dancers and panted at fans: "Are all your fantasies coming true?"

During their Tangled Up tour the fab five began have begun each show suspended 12ft above the stage in superhero capes and clingy black Spandex bondage gear.

And Cheryl Cole, Kimberley Walsh, Nicola Roberts, Nadine Coyle and Miss Harding all take turns to writhe with scantily-clad male dancers.
