Best and worst-dressed celebs on the BRIT Awards red carpet

Well, there was certainly a theme among many of the celebs walking the red carpet at the BRIT Awards in London today.

Former Pussycat Doll Ashley Robert, singer-songwriter Tallia Storm and TV presenter Maya Jama all walked the red carpet at today’s BRIT Awards in strikingly similar outfits.

It seems black cutaway outfits were the look du jour at this year’s event, with the trio all showing off a lot of skin in their daring ensembles.

Elsewhere on the red carpet, Adele made her first public appearance since dramatically cancelling her Las Vegas residency at the last minute in January – and sparked engagement rumours with boyfriend Rich Paul by wearing a massive diamond ring on her hand:

Inside the awards, superstar Adele swept the pool, picking up gongs for Best Artist, Best Single and Best Album.

Adele kept her speeches brief, telling fans she “loved being a female artist” and paying tribute to those she was nominated alongside - but she saved her most personal message for the award’s closing minutes.

Accepting the Best Album award for 30, a deeply personal album about her own divorce and the effect it’s had on her young son, Adele fought back tears as she dedicated the trophy to her son Angelo and ex-husband Simon Konecki.

“I’d like to dedicate this award to my son... and to Simon, his dad. This album was all of our journey, not just mine. I’m proud of myself for sticking to my guns and putting out an album about something that was so personal to me - cos not many people do stuff like that anymore.”

The 2022 Brit Awards air 8:30pm tonight on Foxtel’s UKTV channel.
