Charli XCX Lets her Clothes do the Talking as she Addresses Brits Snub at Afterparty
It was a night to celebrate the best in UK music, but the 2023 Brits was shrouded in controversy. After adopting gender-neutral categories last year, the artist of the year award included only male nominees, failing to acknowledge any women artists. Harry Styles, who won the award on 11 Feb. along with a further three, took the opportunity to acknowledge his privilege and even went on to dedicate the award to the snubbed nominees. "So this award is for Rina [Sawayama], Charli [XCX], Florence [Welch], Mabel [Hill], and Becky [Hill]. Thank you so much!" he said in his acceptance speech. As the evening continued at a series of afterparties around London, Charli XCX took the opportunity to show exactly how she felt about being left off the list. The singer, who wore a super sheer Ludovic de Sa...
See Every Show-Stopping Arrival at the 2023 Brits Red Carpet
The Brits 2023 kicked off with a red carpet full of the who's who of UK music dressed up to the nines for the prestigious award show. Taking place at London's O2 Arena, the event already made history as, for the first time, the Brits took place on a Saturday. Clara Amfo, Roman Kemp, and Maya Jama (fresh from her stint presenting "Love Island") were on the red carpet spotlighting the best dressed guests - and there were so many amazing looks. Sure, last year sparked Adele engagement rumours, but this year, the celebrities seriously upped their game in the style stakes. Sam Smith arrived in an inflatable jumpsuit that has us questioning how on earth they would sit down, Harry Styles took accessories to another level, and Jessie J put her baby bump front and centre.

Jessie J Showcases her Bump at the 2023 Brits After Announcing her Baby’s Gender
Jessie J has put her baby bump in the spotlight as the 2023 Brits. The singer arrived for the Brits red carpet wearing a red hot look that ensured all eyes were on her blossoming bump. She opted for a red crop top and matching red leggings with a subtle lace print sitting just under her bump. Styled by Madeline Bowden, she added an oversized, ruffled red coat to bring the drama to the red carpet. For her accessories, she finished the look with red pointed heels, red gloves, gold statement earrings, and a bronze globe bag. Her hair was swept back into a sleek bun, while makeup artist Karin Darnell added a bronze smokey eye and nude gloss lips. She walked the red carpet just hours after announcing she is expecting a baby boy on her Instagram. The "Bang Bang" singer announced her pregnancy o...
Harry Styles’s Fans Speculate About his Dyed Hair at the 2023 Brits
Harry Styles arrived in style at the 2023 Brits. In a stark contrast to the bright and colourful outfits we've been used to seeing him wear during his "Love on Tour" shows, the singer went for a top-to-toe black look as he arrived at London's o2 Arena. With input from his longtime stylist Harry Lambert, Styles's black velvet Nina Ricci by Harris Reed suit was still so much more than a suit. The flared trousers give a '70 feel while the textured blazer included a peplum, meaning the fabric is structured to stick out from the waist to create a dramatic silhouette. The design detail was particular popular in the 2000s and is making a comeback - his "Don't Worry Darling" costar Florence Pugh made a case for the peplum just last week - yet the looks has sparked debate among fashion lovers. Now,...
Sam Smith Arrives at the 2023 Brits in an Inflatable Latex Jumpsuit
Sam Smith is not one for taking a backseat when it comes to red carpet dressing. The "Unholy" singer arrived for the 2023 Brits wearing a structured latex jumpsuit by the designer, Harri, that seemed to inflate at the shoulders and thighs. They added platform boots to finish the quirky, structural look and wowed as they posed for photographs. Some even noticed that the inflated legs formed a heart shape - how very apt for Valentine's week! Smith performed their hit single on the night along with Kim Petras, and fortunately they made an outfit change for the stage - we had been wondering how they would dance in the ensemble (and sit down, for that matter!) They joined Harry Styles, Lewis Capaldi, Cat Burns, Lizzo, Wet Leg, and Stormzy among the night's entertainment. Smith has been wowing...
Daisy May Cooper Looks Totally Unrecognisable in a Leather Minidress at the Brits 2023
Daisy May Cooper has managed to surprise us once again with her red carpet appearance at the Brits. Becoming somewhat of an icon for incredibly bold and hilarious looks, (remember that sensational bin bag dress she wore to the BAFTAs in 2019?), fans are often left eagerly waiting to see what she'll bust out for big celebrity events. Yet we weren't expecting her outfit for the Brits. The "This Country" star looked unrecognisable in a leather minidress, latex gloves, and knee-high boots that deserved a string of fire emojis. The actor and comedian is known for playing characters in baggy outfits with a more drab appearance, including her love of Swindon football shirts, so fans have not been used to seeing Cooper ramp up the sex appeal. Although the outfit did not come without some brillian...

You Have Depop to Thank For Holly Humberstone’s BRITs Look
Holly Humberstone‘s BRITs outfit was one to remember, and not just because of how incredible she looked wearing it. The artist sourced her look with the help of Depop, wearing a custom jumpsuit and gloves by seller Pristine, handmade in London. On the look, Humberstone said that “I’m so excited to be dressed by Depop for my first ever BRIT’s performance! I love vintage, and really care about sustainable fashion – I find most of my clothes second hand so it just made total sense to keep it circular for the BRITs. I’m always obsessed with the amazing pieces you can find on Depop and am championing some of my personal favourites with my performance look and my curated selection of sellers in the app.” Of all the BRITs looks that featured on the red carpet t...
Joy Crookes Wears Another Incredible Outfit to the BRITs
The 2022 BRIT Awards took place at the O2 Arena tonight, and a number of the red carpet outfits caught viewers’ eyes. One standout outfit in particular came from Irish-Bangladeshi artist Joy Crookes, who, back in 2020, wore a traditional lehenga to the awards ceremony to make a statement about the industry’s lack of South Asian artists. For the 2022 awards, the neo-soul artist wore another powerful ensemble: a crop top with matching skirt and cape made by British designers Kate Walker and Natalie Roar. Crookes shared an image of the outfit on Instagram with the caption “came dressed like an award in case I don’t take any home tonight #BRITs,” crediting South Asian-owned brands like Byredo and Alighieri for her makeup and jewelry.
