Red Carpet in Pictures: Teddy Swims and Sabrina Carpenter Arrive at the BRITs

The BRIT Awards red carpet was as vibrant as ever, with some of the biggest names in music stepping out for the U.K.’s biggest night in music.

Sabrina Carpenter, Jade Thirlwall, and Teddy Swims stole the spotlight with their striking outfits.

Teddy Swims, nominated for International Song of the Year for his track “Lose Control”, stayed true to his name, arriving on the red carpet covered in teddy bears and toys. With the chilly weather at the O2 Arena, his playful, cozy look was a smart choice.

Sabrina Carpenter was already a winner by the time she hit the red carpet, having been awarded the Global Success accolade — the first international artist to receive this honor. The Please Please Please singer, who also opened the show, will be heading out on a UK and Ireland tour in the coming weeks.

Charli XCX, who won big that night, also made an impact on the red carpet, though there was no Brat green in sight. The Essex-born singer took home five awards during the evening.

Jade Thirlwall stunned in a breathtaking gown, which she described as a "denim wedding dress." The former Little Mix member, who was nominated for Best Pop Act and Song of the Year, opened up about her new solo journey and the inspiration behind her song “Angel of My Dreams”, which reflects on her "toxic relationship with the music industry."

Davina McCall made a stunning appearance in an all-black ensemble, just weeks after revealing she had undergone surgery for a rare benign tumor. She had more to celebrate, announcing her new BBC dating show.

FLO, the British girl group, graced the red carpet in matching outfits. Stella Quaresma, Renee Downer, and Jorja Douglas, who were nominated for Best R&B Act, shared their excitement about their upcoming tour, working with Beyoncé's dance captain, Amari Marshall.

KSI, the rapper and YouTuber, opted for a sleek all-black leather look. Despite being “clowned for” his song “Thick of It”, which was nominated for Song of the Year, KSI has kept a packed schedule, balancing music, YouTube, and even a fight later this month.

The Last Dinner Party, winners of last year’s Rising Star award, turned heads in their stunning red carpet looks. The band — Aurora Nishevci, Emily Roberts, Abigail Morris, Georgia Davies, and Lizzie Mayland — were nominated for four awards this year, including Album and Group of the Year.

CMAT (Clara Mary-Alice Thompson) shone in a gold dress, proving that sometimes simplicity is all you need to stand out on the red carpet. Though she wasn’t nominated this year, her striking outfit was worthy of recognition.

Ezra Collective, with band members Ife Ogunjobi, TJ Koleoso, Femi Koleoso, Joe Armon-Jones, and James Mollison, looked effortlessly cool in matching all-black outfits. They completed the look with sunglasses, shielding themselves from the flashing lights of the photographers.

Bring Me The Horizon, last year’s Best Alternative/Rock Act, also showed off their stylish all-black looks as they arrived for their nominations for Best Group.

Jorja Smith, fresh from promoting her new single “Crush” with AJ Tracey, turned heads in a sleek black and blue leather-look dress, adding to the star-studded lineup on the red carpet.

Alex Scott and Jess Glynne, often seen together at London Fashion Week, showed off their couple style, with Alex wearing a chic black-and-white outfit and Jess in a bold burnt orange dress.

Millie Bobby Brown dazzled in a silver gown, making a rare appearance at the BRITs after attending the SAG Awards and promoting her new film The Electric State in Los Angeles.

Finally, Stormzy, the winner of Best Rap Act, made a unique red carpet statement in sunglasses, explaining that he had “mashed up my eye” while playing padel. Despite the injury, the rapper was in high spirits as he claimed his fourth BRIT Award.
