Last nights BRIT awards saw Little Mix make history being the first female band to win Best British Group, up and coming artist Olivia Rodrigo perform live for the first time and an iconic collaboration from Elton John and Years & Years performing “It’s A Sin”.
But the red carpet looks and performance outfits also did not disappoint.
Starting with Rising Star award winner Griff, who wore a Susan Fang pastel dress to the red carpet with an eccentric fountain headpiece (pictured below).
Griff not only turned heads with this carpet look but also with her performance of hit “Black Hole”, in which she wore a dress made by herself. She documented her whole BRITS preparation, sewing process and outfit choices on TikTok (@wiffygriffy).
Double award winner, Dua Lipa caused a stir with her Vivienne Westwood dress paired with black stockings and suspenders, with some Twitter users even comparing her look to Amy Winehouse’s 2007 BRITs look:
Speaking to celebrity stylist, Carolyn Rubido, she believes the similarities between Amy’s 2007 look and Dua’s 2021 look were not a coincidence, “the yellow dress with the signature beehive was all we needed in order to recognise the hat tip”.
Not only did Dua Lipa impress with her two awards (Best British Female and Best Album), but also with her acceptance speech dedicating her award to the country’s frontline workers, “it’s very good to clap for them, but we need to pay them!”
Her opening performance outfit also payed homage to Ginger Spice, wearing a mini-skirt version of the iconic Union Jack dress. Stylist, Carolyn also said it was “only right for Dua Lipa an icon herself, to pay homage in respect to those who paved the way for her”.
Global Icon winner, Taylor Swift also paid tribute to NHS workers in her acceptance speech, saying how she is “indebted to and grateful to my British fans”. For both her red carpet and acceptance look she wore a simple yet glamorous MIU MIU two-piece (pictured below). Carolyn Rubido believes that “this ensemble is a great reflection of Taylor’s personality and her work: the extravagance is in the details.”
Our last honourable mention goes to Little Mix, who, dressed all in white gracefully debuted their baby bumps to the red carpet. Accepting their award for Best British Group, dedicating it to “all the incredible female groups” who came before them.
All performances are available to watch on the BRITs Youtube channel.
