US singer Sabrina Carpenter wore British designer McQueen while American singer-songwriter and rapper Teddy Swims donned a colourful toy-encrusted overcoat, as musician and celebrities sported their best looks on the Brit Awards red carpet.
Carpenter, who will open the show, arrived at the ceremony in a ruffled pink diamond gown by British fashion house McQueen (formerly Alexander McQueen).
The 25-year-old Espresso singer paired the figure-hugging dress with a diamond choker and undone, renaissance-style curls.
American singer Teddy Swims, who will also be performing, wore a custom black suit and multi-coloured overcoat adorned with stuffed animals including, of course, teddy bears.
The Lose Control singer, 32, is known for his playful red carpet looks; he turned heads when he wore a pearl-encrusted three-piece suit to the Grammys last month.
Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall wore a denim bridal gown by Diesel, inspired by the over-the-top wedding silhouette of the 1980s. She paired the dress with a bouquet of denim flowers.
The 32-year-old singer was accompanied by her manager in an oversized white hulk suit, and Thirlwall noted that he was “symbolic” of the intimidating night that lay ahead.
This is the first year Thirlwall is competing as a solo act at the Brit Awards, with nominations for Song of the Year and Pop Act of the Year.
Lola Young, 24, channelled the 1990s in denim puddle jeans, a silk cami and velour charcoal jacket.

The 25-year-old artist paired the gown with the French fashion house’s signature pointed pumps
English Singer Sam Ryder, who rose to prominence on TikTok during the UK’s first Covid-19 lockdown, channelled the Wild West in a relaxed denim two-piece with scoop-necked white vest and taupe suede loafers.
Olympic runner Keely Hodgkinson, 22, channelled polished prep in a monochromatic Emilia Wickstead dress with open sides and pointed black pumps.
Line Of Duty star Vicky McClure, 41, took a different approach to monochrome, in a black liquid-look Adidas tracksuit with black and white Adidas Superstars.
Also maintaining a pared-back palette was Zara McDermott, 28, who wore a white feathered gown with a high slit.
The gown is not dissimilar to the Jonathan Anderson looks we’ve seen flooding the red carpet recently, including his custom blue feather dress for Sabrina Carpenter at the Grammys.
Fellow ex-Love Islander Maura Higgins wore a risque sheer black Galia Lahav gown embroidered with colourful blooms on the hip and shoulder.
Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, 43, wore a shimmering gold keyhole gown, with wet look hair and and a smoky bronzed eye.
