BRIT Awards 2023: Celebrities arrive on the star-studded red carpet

[ad_1]

The stars were out in force for The BRIT Awards 2023 held at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night.

Pregnant Jessie J, former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Love Island host Maya Jama led the famous faces arriving on the red carpet in style and was joined by the likes of Ashley Roberts, Zara McDermott and Clara Amfo.

Price Tag hitmaker Jessie, 34, showed off her blossoming baby bump in a daring red crop top and tight leggings that revealed her figure and featured huge puffy sleeves.

She boosted her height with pointy red stilettos and toted a quirky gold bang while slicking her hair back and opting for glowing makeup.

The star – who is expecting her first child, a baby boy, with Chanan Safir Colman – looked in great spirits as she walked the BRITs red carpet for the first time in 10 years. 

Leigh-Anne, 31, put on a daring display in a plunging orange gown that flaunted her cleavage and also featured a sexy thigh-split.

The head-turning dress was cinched in at the waist to show off her figure and was teamed with matching orange heels while she styled her hair into elaborate braids.

Stunning Maya, 28, showed off her sensational figure in a strapless black dress with a gold skeleton design on that highlighted her ample cleavage and gorgeous curves.

She boosted her height with strappy gold heels and wore her dark tresses slicked back while opting for radiant makeup.

Meanwhile popstar Ashley, 41, showed off her toned abs in a silver co-ord consisting of a skimpy crop top and tiered skirt which she wore with matching stilettos.  

Ashley wore her flowing blonde tresses in loose waves over her shoulders and wore dangly earrings while opting for a slick of light pink lip for her makeup.

Former Love Island star Zara McDermott, 26, looked stunning as she arrived in a nude gown with daring cut-out section across her cleavage.

Harry Styles, Wet Leg, and Sam Smith lead this year’s nominations as the stars battle it out for the coveted awards.

All three will perform on the night, with Lizzo, Becky Hill, Cat Burns and Stormzy also storming the stage.  

Music bosses have come under fire, however, when the shortlist was announced last month. 

In a surprise snub, female artists were shut out of the Artist Of The Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by scrapping its male and female-centric categories.

The first gender-neutral award was handed to Adele last year, but in her acceptance speech she pointedly told the audience: ‘ love being a woman.’ 

Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.

Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again – real name Fred Gibson – are also up for album of the year, alongside The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.

Now, BRIT Award bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for its new gender-neutral prize. 

The coveted Song Of The Year With Mastercard category will see Aitch with Baby Ft Ashanti, Cat Burns with Go, Dave with Starlight, and Ed Sheeran And Elton John with their festive hit Merry Christmas battle it out.

Also nominated are Eliza Rose And Interplanetary Criminal with Baddest Of Them All, George Ezra with Green Green Grass and Harry Styles with As It Was.

Speaking after their four nods, Wet Leg said: ‘Somebody hold our horses while we get to grips with this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to comprehend, we never could have expected for our wee band to achieve this.’
