Harry Styles, who is one of the most hotly anticipated performers of the evening, walked the Brits red carpet on Saturday evening
The Brits Awards red carpet was as vibrant as ever, with some amazing musical talent making an appearance for the UK’s biggest night in music.
This time, though, and for the first time in its 50-year history, the Brits swapped London for Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.
But one thing remained the same and that was the fashion on display – with catwalk ready looks from the likes of Olivia Dean, Rosalía and Harry Styles.
It was a big night for co-ordination, with Wet Leg and Wolf Alice making sure they matched perfectly, as did Kelly and Sharon Osbourne.
Olivia Dean in a yellow dress
Olivia Dean is the woman of the moment – not only is she performing at tonight’s show, but she is nominated in some of the biggest categories, including album and song of the year.
Her yellow, floor-length gown was in keeping with her classic sophisticated and elegant red carpet style.
Maya Jama in a white dress.
Maya Jama joked on social media over the weekend about the coincidence of the Brits moving to Manchester when she did – to be with her boyfriend, Manchester City star Rúben Dias – so she will certainly enjoy the short journey home after a big night out.
She looked perfectly angelic in an all-white glittery dress, complete with a flowing fur shawl.
Harry Styles in an oversized peplum suit
Harry Styles is the man of the moment – not only is it three years since he last performed at the Brits, but he’s a week away from releasing his fourth studio album Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.
He wore a disco-approved pinstripe suit on the red carpet on Saturday evening.
JADE in a pink and grey peplum dress
It will be hard for anyone to top JADE’s iconic performance at last year’s Brits, in which she sang her song Angel Of My Dreams in – you guessed it – gigantic angel wings.
And she looked just as ethereal tonight on the red carpet in an incredibly voluminous peplum-skirted dress.
TEMS in a white gown
Nigerian singer-songwriter Tems, who sings on Dave’s hit Raindance, was in attendance on the red carpet in a beautiful white outfit that could easily double as a wedding dress.
Kelly and Sharon Osbourne in co-ordinating black designs
Kelly and Sharon Osbourne were in attendance on the red carpet in co-ordinated black outfits.
They are in attendance at tonight’s Brits to honour their late father and husband Ozzy Osbourne, who will be remembered in a special segment at tonight’s awards.
Lola Young in a green leather peplum top and snake trousers
Lola Young is up for song and artist of the year at tonight’s awards and will be hoping to take home one of the top prizes.
She looked effortlessly cool on the red carpet in a green leather peplum top and snake print trousers.
Jeff Goldblum in a tuxedo on the red carpet.
Jeff Goldblum was a surprise addition at the Brits – he told the BBC his fifth album is coming out soon with his jazz band The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra and that he can’t wait to tour it round the UK.
Kwn
Kwn, who is nominated for best R&B act, told our team on the Brits red carpet that her outfit was straight from Nigeria – paying tribute to her father’s heritage.
Ellis Durand, Henry Holmes, Rhian Teasdale, Josh Mobaraki and Hester Chambers of Wet Leg
Joff Oddie, Joel Amey, Ellie Rowsell and Theo Ellis of Wolf Alice.
We love when bands get the colour co-ordinating memo and tonight was no exception – Wet Leg (top) and Wolf Alice (bottom) looked formidably cool in their complimenting clobber.
Both bands are also battling it out tonight in both the group of the year and alternative/rock act categories.
CMAT on the red carpet in a tartan dress with powerful shoulder pads and a full skirt.
CMAT is nominated for International artist of the year and celebrated the success of her album Euro-Country, which is partly recorded in Gaelic.
She wore a tartan outfit with powerful shoulder pads and a full skirt.
Rosalía wears a feather top and skirt with a white waistband
Rosalía is up for international artist of the year after releasing her fourth studio album Lux last year and celebrated with an incredible feather dress by Chanel.
