Danielle Bux takes a leaf out of Cheryl Cole's holiday style book

There is something familiar about this glamorous brunette strolling on the shore.
With straw hat, sunglasses and a swimsuit showing off every spectacular curve, she has what can only be described as the Cheryl Cole factor.
In fact, 30-year-old Danielle Bux, the new wife of Match of the Day host Gary Lineker, could easily have been mistaken for the X Factor judge as she walked on the beach in Barbados.

 

Style icon: Cheryl Cole has embraced the trend for the straw hat

Just like Cheryl, who is married to Chelsea defender Ashley Cole, Danielle was accompanied by her own matching footballer, albeit a retired one.
Danielle looked stunning as she strolled along the beach in a blue bikini  with white trimming which showed exactly why she is a lingerie model.
She has escaped the gloom and grey of the British winter for a festive holiday on the Caribbean island with Lineker, 49.
And with temperatures over 30C, it is no wonder she needed a hat to protect her dark tresses from the harsh sun.
It is a look Cheryl Cole has championed, wearing a straw Stetson in the south of France this year on holiday with husband Ashley and again when she took her group of X Factor finalists to Morocco.
Victoria Beckham also wore a straw cowboy hat on the beach four years ago.
The trend certainly suited the Welsh lingerie model as well.
But the new Mrs Lineker did not look in such good spirits as yesterday, when she aimed a playful boot at the ex-Spurs and England player's rear.
She looked rather solemn as she stood watching the waves with her husband, who was wearing patterned silver board shorts.
And she left him to enjoy the waves, which were a little fierce for the Match Of The Day presenter.
He grimaced as he watched a large wave rolling in and prepared to jump it.
Instead, he got smacked in the face by it.
Singer Alexandra Burke, who is also holidaying on the island, has also had mishaps with the waves.

Her record company boss Simon Cowell has also been on the island but is staying on a private yacht.

 

Other stars currently taking in the sunshine on the island include Rihanna, the Sugababes, Sir Philip Green, Emma Forbes, Jude Law and Sienna Miller.

Meanwhile the Sugababes, Amelle, Heidi and Jade, took some much needed R and R in the Caribbean resort.
