THIS was Sam Smith’s Brit Awards 2023 outfit

The biggest night in UK music kicked off in style as stars came to south east London this evening for the BRIT Awards 2023 ceremony.

But while the red carpet at the 02 centre was awash with glamorous styles, some celebrities missed the fashion mark – despite their best efforts. 

Among the worst dressed at the star-studded bash was singer Sam Smith, who certainly took a major fashion gamble in an extremely fashion-forward outfit.

The Unholy singer sported a shiny black one-piece inflated jumpsuit suit, made from what appeared to be a shiny, latex-style material.

Their one-piece was fashioned into an unusual shape, boasting enormous should pads and sleeves, and large legs, and a zip up the front.

While their outfit was extremely bold, Sam Smith kept their hair and make-up simple, showing off a natural, fresh-faced look, and short bleach blonde locks

Sam donned black platform boots alongside the fashion-forward outfit, adding several inches to their height. 

However, they kept their hair and make-up simple, showing off a natural, fresh-faced look, and short bleach blonde locks, which were combed back. 

Finishing the off the look, the singer donned drop earrings, which featured a stud, and an anchor shaped pendant, with a pearl.   

Meanwhile, another fan favourite took a spot on the worst dressed list, thanks to his unusual ensemble.  

Lewis Capaldi, showed off his inimitable style in a felt-style maroon jacket decorated with embroidered flowers as he took to the red carpet this evening.

The Scottish musician, who is up for the coveted Song of the Year prize with his tune Forget Me, paired the eye-catching jacket with rather more sombre clothes.

He sported black trousers and a black t-shirt underneath the unusual coat, which he paired with plain black trainers.

And singer-songwriter and rapper Ashnikko also chose an eye-catching look, wearing a gown that appeared to be made of a clear, thin rubber fabric.

The musician, who recently shared their new single, You Make Me Sick! – their first single since 2021, paired the frock with towering perspex platform heels. 

They completed the bold look with an eye-catching hair style, with locks cut into a bold, blunt bob, dyed a rich blue tone.

And their make-up was equally creative, with on-trend, barely there bleached eyebrows peeking out from beneath their fringe, alongside an otherwise natural look, with fresh skin and a nude lip.

Megan McKenna also opted for an unusual outfit, ensuring she garnered maximum attention – and a place on the worst dressed list – thanks to her attire.

The TV personality sported a black leather minidress, paired with cowboy-inspired accessories for the highly-celebrated event.

Her minidress, which left very little to the imagination, boasted a miniskirt with daring slits on each side, showing off her toned thighs.

The dress, which featured rhinestone-style decals in a variety of shapes, including crosses, was paired with a host of accessories.

Megan donned a stetson atop her flaming locks, which were styles into very soft waves, and worn in a down do, flowing down her back.

She also wore cowboy-inspired knee high black boots, as well as a pair of leather-look gloves which covered her forearms.

Meanwhile, Tallia Storm also had all eyes on her – for all the wrong reasons – thanks to her pink and cream garb.

The singer donned a tiny pink bikini, finishing off the ensemble with a giant pair of knee high fur boots, and a large shaggy coat.

Continuing the faux fur theme throughout the rest of the outfit, she also added a large pink furry hat, and carried a tote bag made of the same fabric. 

The 24-year-old singer also wore a glistening silver bejewelled chain around her neck with her name attached as a metal pendant. 

Her blonde tresses were styled into loose waves, which cascaded past her shoulders, and she wore a soft, natural make-up look, pairing a nude lip with pink blush and a smokey eye. 

Tallia appeared confident as she struck a pose or two on the red carpet, smiling at the assembled photographers as she showed off the unusual outfit.

Elsewhere, singer-songwriter Kamille opted for a bold look too, showing off her pregnancy bump in a floor-length turquoise gown.

The striking frock, which included a head covering and long sleeves with matching gloves, left her stomach uncovered. 

Posing on the red carpet in south east London, the recording artist tenderly cradled her bare bump, wrapping her gloved hands and arms around it.

She beamed as she posed for photographs, showing off her radiant complexion and sophisticated make-up look, pairing pink lips with classic black eyeliner and pink blush. 

Another very bold look was worn by TV personality, Yinka Bokinni, who took to the red carpet in an unusual tunic and trouser outfit.

Her top boasted shoulder pads and a very daring neckline that left little to the imagination, paired with rather more conventional wide legged black trousers.

She made sure to showcase the unusual outfit by making it the centrepiece of her whole look, pairing it with a simple hair and make-up style.

Looking fresh faced, Yinka showed off her clear skin with a light foundation base. She paired it with a nude lip, highlighting her lip stud.

And the TV personality opted for a classic eye look with a twist, donning dark eye-liner in a modern cat-eye style across her lids.

Meanwhile, her brown tresses were styled into a down do. They were parted in the centre, and slicked back into a smooth style that flowed past her shoulders.

The final touch to her outfit was statement jewellery in her ears. On one, she wore a gold ear cuff and drop earring, while she adorned her other love with a hoop, and a pearl stud.

Jessie J was another of the celebrities at tonight’s ceremony to take a spot on the worst dressed list, donning an all-red outfit for the prestigious event

Missing the mark: Leigh Francis was another of the stars at tonight’s bash who took a fashion gamble that did not pay off, donning a checked suit and t-shirt

Jessie J was another of the celebrities at tonight’s event to take a spot on the worst dressed list, thanks to her bold monochrome red outfit. 

The ensemble, in a bright scarlet shade, featured a long sleeved top and lace leggings, as well as a cutout on her stomach, to show off her pregnancy bump. 

Topping off the outfit, was a coat which Price Tag hitmaker Jessie, 34, wore slung around her arms, made from a crimped organza-style fabric, which gave the garment a voluminous statement look.

Leigh Francis also opted for a brash outfit as he took to the red carpet this evening.

The comedian wore a two-piece suit featuring a tartan-style print in a range of hues including fuchsia, black, and mustard. 

Underneath the suit, he donned a t-shirt, on which an image of a close-up face was printed. Leigh accessorised with a pink stetson, and black boots with red laces. 

Another suit-wearing celebrity to make the worst dressed list was rapper Aitch, who donned two-tone, two-piece suit in powder blue and cream for the event.

Despite boasting some interesting details – like his oversized collar and two-tone blazer lapels, the poor fit of the ensemble meant the outfit, which he paired with box fresh white trainers, missed the mark.

Ellie Goulding donned what appeared to be a solid breastplate-style top, featuring a torso shaped with anatomical details as she attended the BRIT Awards this evening

Singer MNEK was another BRIT Award attendee this evening who opted for a monochrome outfit – choosing to dress in pink from head-to-toe 

Also making the worst dressed list was singer Ellie Goulding, who rocked up to the O2 Arena sporting an extremely unusual outfit.

The singer donned what appeared to be a solid breastplate-style top, featuring a torso shaped with anatomical details.

Pairing the solid black top, which was strapped around her torso with thin laces, Ellie was snapped beaming as she posed for photos.

At one point, the musician was photographed jokingly putting her hands over the chest of the top, which she paired with black trousers. 

Another celebrity to make the worst dressed list, again in a monochrome outfit, was Singer MNEK, who opted to dress in pink from head-to-toe.

A beaming Billie Piper showed off her athletic figure in a very form fitting outfit as she attended the BRIT Awards this evening, wearing only what appeared to be tights on her bottom half

While his outfit boasted some stylish touches, including the blush hue and two-piece suit, it was let down by some accessories that were less successful – notably the all-in-one garment MNEK donned under the suit, which included a hood. 

Another bold sartorial statement that missed the fashion mark was the very daring outfit worn by actor Billie Piper.

Billie appeared to be enjoying herself as she posed for photos in the extremely revealing ensemble, which appeared to included only a pair of black tights covering the bottom half of her body.

Meanwhile, the top half of her outfit featured a pink bralette top and voluminous puff sleeves made from cream fabric.

The BRIT Awards this evening offered attendees and viewers a star-studded night, with the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy, David Guetta, Lizzo, Harry, Styles and Ella Henderson all performing at the ceremony. 

Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Sam Smith lead the nominations.

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.
