Celebrities arrive on the star-studded red carpet

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

Lizzo, Harry Styles, pregnant Jessie J and former Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock led the famous faces arriving on the red carpet in style and were joined by the likes of Maya Jama, Ellie Goulding and Ashley Roberts. 

American singer Lizzo, 34, showed off her incredible curves in a gold dress with elaborate trim as she posed up a storm ahead of her highly-anticipated performance at the awards show. 

The glamorous number was teamed with strappy black heels and huge dangly gold earrings while her short dark tresses were styled into a sleek bob. 

Also making moves on the red carpet was former One Direction star Harry, 29, – who is nominated for four gongs – who looked suave in a black suede suit with a huge flower on the lapel. 

He showed off his incredible fashion sense in the two-piece that featured wide-leg trousers and a smart matching jacket ahead of his performance. 

Elsewhere 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. 

The backless number clung perfectly to her figure and was teamed with black heels to complete the beautiful look. 

Elsewhere radio presenter Clara Amfo put on a leggy display in a black mini dress with a long train as she posed up a storm. 

Michelle Visage turned heads in a red and blue jumpsuit and commanded attention in the figure-hugging number. 

Meanwhile former S Club 7 star Rachel Stevens looked great in a reed gown as she graced the red carpet on the big night. 

Mo Gilligan returns as The BRIT Awards host for the second year running, with the comedian saying he is ‘honoured’ to be back to celebrate the biggest night in British music. 

For the first time in the ceremony’s history, it takes place on a Saturday, broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. 

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.

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.’

Nominated for Alt Rock are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Nova Twins, Tom Grennan and Wet Leg.

Stormzy has landed another nod in the Hip Hop/Grime/Rap category, competing against Aitch, Central Cee, Dave and Loyle Carner.
