Last night’s episode of The X Factor was chock-full of tears and emotions and... black statement shorts.

CeCe Frey made quite an impression in Kansas City on the judges with her attitude and talent — and outfit. The beautiful 20-year-old singer took the stage (we aren’t convinced she would not have literally walked out with it were it not bolted down) in a pair of high-waisted black leather shorts, a see-through top, and ankle booties. After bringing the house down with her voice, Demi admitted to having a girl crush on CeCe and L.A. gave her props for her style.

We were just about to head out shopping when 19-year-old Ally Brooke jumped front and center (in Austin) and sang a Christian rock song — in black formal shorts. Hers were more on the brocade side of things — and she went for bedazzled pink and black details, a fedora, and a bright pink shirt — but the similarities were there just the same.

So, what do you think? Was Ally’s look the sweetest style of the night — or was CeCe’s take a fiercer version of the trend?
