Revealing outfits have become somewhat of a norm on showbiz red carpets, but the 2023 Brit Awards has produced one of the most daring looks to date.

The 43rd annual music awards, which celebrates the best in British music over the past year, took place at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday, local time.

And UK singer Tallia Storm, who was discovered by Elton John aged 13, yanked the spotlight in a very camp ensemble – stepping out on the red carpet in an itsy-bitsy pink bikini.

US singer Ashnikko hit the carpet in a space inspired look, which was covered in what we can only describe as warts:

Following his Grammy win for Album of the Year, Harry Styles led nominations at the Brit Awards with four nods - going on to pick up every single one at the televised ceremony, including Album of the Year and Best Artist.

There was controversy when Brit nominations were announced last month after not a single woman was honoured in the Best Artist category.

The Brit Awards went gender-neutral in 2021 in a bid to be more inclusive, and while Adele won the gong last year, the 2023 nominations were widely considered a step back.

Female artists including Charlie XCX, Florence and The Machine and Mabel, were all snubbed for the Best Artist award, despite enjoying success in 2022.
