Star-Studded 2025 BRIT Awards: Fashion and Fame Shine Bright

LONDON, England — The 2025 BRIT Awards lit up London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night, showcasing an array of talent and glamour as Charli XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown, and Maya Jama were among the stars gracing the iconic red carpet.

Leading the nominations with five nods, Charli XCX drew attention in a daring sheer black gown over thong underwear, accentuating her figure. The 32-year-old pop star is nominated for Album of the Year for her hit album “Brat,” which made waves last summer. Charli paired her avant-garde attire with pointed black heels and a bold smokey eye makeup that highlighted her features.

“I made history when my album became a cultural phenomenon, and now it’s an honor to be recognized at the BRIT Awards,” Charli said as she captured the spotlight with her boyfriend, George Daniel, the drummer from The 1975.

Despite her prominent nominations, Charli opted not to perform at the ceremony. In contrast, Sabrina Carpenter, 25, dazzled in a pink ruffled gown adorned with sequins, preparing to take the stage. Sabrina is also in contention for awards including International Artist of the Year.

Sabrina’s exuberance radiated as she accessorized with a jeweled choker and styled her hair in voluminous curls, saying, “Tonight’s about celebrating our music and all the amazing artists I’ve been able to connect with this year.”

Millie Bobby Brown, 21, dazzled in a matching metallic silver gown featuring a hooded design, emphasizing her chic transformation. “Fashion is a way to express myself beyond acting, and I love these bold choices,” Millie shared on the carpet.

Maya Jama, 30, kept it classic in a strapless black gown, complemented by minimalistic jewelry. The Love Island host appeared to be in high spirits, showcasing her natural elegance against the glamorous backdrop of the awards.

Former Love Island star Maura Higgins, 34, shocked attendees in a completely sheer dress that bared her black lacy underwear, adding a daring element to the night. “This look is about being fierce and feeling confident,” Maura explained as she posed.

Other notable attendees included reality stars like Sophie Habboo and Louis Redknapp, the latter showing off her legs in a sophisticated black mini dress. The ambient energy was palpable as celebrities mingled before the awaited performances.

Davina McCall, 57, stole the show in a jaw-dropping sheer gown, exuding confidence as she playfully commented to MailOnline, “I’m just growing old disgracefully!”

In an elaborate appearance, singer Jade Thirlwall donned a dramatic baby-blue denim gown adorned with floral puffed sleeves, capturing elegance as she arrived with her bouquet of blue roses.

“The BRITs represent everything we work for as artists, and it’s a joy to be here tonight,” Jade shared, her excitement palpable amid the pulsating atmosphere.

The night also featured performances from the likes of Ezra Collective and Sabrina Carpenter, both of whom are high-profile nominees this year. The event’s host, comedian Jack Whitehall, marked his fifth consecutive year guiding the festivities.

As the award winners were announced later in the evening, the audience buzzed with excitement, eager to see who would take home the coveted trophies at this prestigious annual celebration of British music.
