Watch: Top Celebritiess Looks Fabulous After Divorce Cheryl Cole Revenge dressing never looked so good. It's what all jilted lovers secretly want to do: whip into shape and wear the finest threads on a night out because clearly the ex-lover is missing out on the glamazon the ex-wife has become. What better way to show just how happier life has become than to strut your stuff out there? For these celebrity ladies, including recent divorcee Katie Holmes, looking glamorous after their divorces is exactly what they did, with much aplomb. These ladies showed the world that they were okay without their husbands, thank you very much. Here is how these ladies pulled off the revenge look down to the stiletto. Katie Holmes Hollywood was shook when long-standing rumours of TomKat's relationship being rocky came true - Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise announced their break-up on June 29, with proceedings being finalised just 10 days later. After her surprise divorce announcement, she stepped out in casual-chic attire and was seen in New York City shopping at Whole Foods and having fun with her child Suri. Her fashion line Holmes & Yang is even going big, with a debut runway show in the next few months. Katie reveled in flirty frocks and seemed all smiles in front of the camera. Props to Katie for moving on in style! Katy Perry Talk about burning: Katy Perry's divorce was met with shock across the world but it took her just one public appearance to show just how strong she was without Russell Brand: the 2012 Grammys. She debuted her new but rather cryptic hit, Part Of Me, with electric-blue hair and a cyborg-like outfit. She later changed into a slinky gold Gucci gown and also appeared on the red carpet in a baby blue embroidered dress showing off her ample, erm, assets. Katy was the belle of the night; Russell Brand, please step aside. Heidi Klum After Katy Perry's shocking split, another high-profile divorce came when model Heidi Klum and singer Seal called it quits on January 22, 2012. The couple were widely known for their outrageous Halloween costumes and even sexier styles. However, divorce did not deter Heidi from hiding in a shell. Instead, she made appearances on red carpets and events in signature bombshell style. She is now filming the tenth season of Project Runway and looks fabulous in this green frock that shows off her toned body. Eva Longoria Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria proves she's far from desperate - in fact, she's flawlessly preened and picture perfect! Since her split with Tony Parker after rumours of his infidelity, the pint-sized star has gone from strength to strength in the fashion stakes and even bagged herself a new boyfriend! Her new arm candy is Eduardo Cruz, brother of Penelope and Monica Cruz! That's one hell of a rebound... Scarlett Johansson Her ex Ryan Reynolds may have moved on to Blake Lively quickly, but Scarlett Johansson looked carefree and happier than ever when she stepped out in this gorgeous backless dress at the 83rd annual Academy Awards in Hollywood back in February 2011. Since then, Scarlett has reclaimed her sex-symbol status in The Avengers as Black Widow, complete with a PVC catsuit... The actress has also been linked to Sean Penn. Jennifer Lopez J-Lo's 2011 split with Marc Anthony had the world buzzing. Days after divorce announcements were made, she appeared on American Idol in a killer bodycon black bondage dress with a 'love' necklace. For the next few Idol appearances, JLo brought out the seductress in her in similar figure-hugging outfits, especially with this outfit she wore for her 2012 tour. Jennifer Aniston One of the most high-profile divorces has to be the acrimonious split between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Dubbed as 'America's Sweetheart', Aniston barely flinched as she moved on after the 2005 divorce. Jennifer was in her element with her girl-next-door style and affable appeal. We are glad though that she is much happier now with current beau Justin Theroux. To looking fabulous and getting Brad Pitt jealous! Hurrah! Courteney Cox Like her Friends co-star, Courteney Cox's divorce seemed to set her free! The (almost too) amicable divorce from husband of over 10 years, David Arquette, saw Cox stepping out in a much more vamped-up style. Check out that smouldering make up! The sexy 48-year-old shows that she is still smoking hot. We wonder if she'll take a leaf out of her on-screen character's book and become a cougar... Christina Aguilera Her divorce with Jordan Bratman was not finalised until April 15, 2011 but from the moment announcements were made on October 2011, Christina Aguilera did not stop stunning red carpets with her va-va-voom dressing. While promoting her new movie Burlesque in November, she stepped out to the Germany premiere in a little black dress that showed off her curves. Aguilera would continue on to appear in other projects such as Entourage and the wildly-popular show The Voice looking every bit the diva she is.\
