Some of the biggest names in music arrived at London’s O2 Arena for the 2023 Brit Awards, held on Saturday (11 February).
Nominees, performers, and presenters – including Harry Styles, Lizzo, and Wet Leg – all walked the red carpet, ahead of the live ceremony.
While lots of stars opted for flamboyant creations, some looks were bolder than others.
Here’s a recap of the most talked-about red carpet looks from the 2023 show:
Sam Smith
Sam Smith opted to wear a dramatic, custom, all-black latex jumpsuit by Indian-born designer and London College of Fashion graduate Harri (full name Harikrishnan Keezhathil Surendran Pillai).
Harri posted a picture of the full look on his Instagram shortly after Smith debuted the look on the red carpet.
Smith completed the outfit, which had them trending on Twitter, with a pair of black platform heels, gloves, and pearl earrings.
Rina Sawayama
Japanese-British singer-songwriter and Best New Artist nominee Rina Sawayama walked the red carpet in a sheer, brown gown with a cape from Saint Laurent.
She accessorised the look with gold cuff bracelets and black heels.
Charli XCX
Charli XCX also wore a sheer gown, a white creation from Ludovic de Saint Sernin, for the Brits this year. She paired the sequinned outfit with jewellery by Swarovski, and finished her look with a dramatic winged eyeliner makeup look.
The “Used to Know Me” hitmaker was nominated in the Pop/R&B category.
Jessie J
Jessie J flaunted her baby bump in a red outfit as she walked the carpet at the awards. The singer-songwriter, who revealed the gender of her baby ahead of the ceremony on Saturday, opted for a red crop top, matching leggings, heels and gloves.
“Oh yeah, I’m having a boy,” Jessie J captioned a video of her getting dressed for the Brits and singing to her baby.
She wore her hair slicked back, and finished her outfit with a dramatic red coat.
