Here’s a game you can play during Paris Haute Couture week: which of these looks will appear on the awards season circuit and by whom will it be worn? If you turned into this year’s spring/summer showcase and guessed Jean Paul Gaultier by Simone Rocha, by Caroline Polachek, you should consider making a sport of it. At the Brit Awards this weekend, fashion director Tati Cotliar styled the American singer-songwriter in a satin pink slip dress from the collection, Rocha’s thorny conical bra protruding out over the neckline. Polachek finished off the look with fingerless matching gloves and a generous serving of eyeliner—because where better to rock on than London’s O2 Arena?
Other attendees also received the memo, though the Brit Awards red carpet has always welcomed its fair share of rebellious formalwear. In 2021, Dua Lipa made her appearance in a gold Vivienne Westwood mini, sky-high bouffant and suspenders; in 2024, she sharpened her edges, alighting in Versace bodycon leather and a head full of Training Season-era red hair. For Charli XCX, love was in the air. Wet-haired and sheathed in a pastel Marni gown, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say she was channelling Aphrodite, newly born, fresh from the foam.
Here, discover everything they’re wearing at the 2024 Brit Awards.
