Charli XCX
Ludovic de Saint-Sernin is clearly Charli XCX’s go-to brand nowadays, as she donned another chic number straight from the runway. The British star went braless and took the sheer risk of baring it all in this daring crystallised dress, adorned with a glittering monogram print, a halterneck, and sporty white trim, leaving very little to the imagination. For a sultry red-carpet look at the BRIT Awards 2023, she accessorised the cross-neck gown with a white thong and satin Louboutins.
Lizzo
For the 2023 BRIT Awards red carpet, Lizzo took on the customary guise of a golden goddess in her “Golden Phoenix Gown.” It’s a statement-making, opulent couture gown and the very first custom design from the SS23 Robert Wun Couture Collection. The extravagant masterpiece included a one-shoulder bodycon silhouette made of molten dark-gold fabric, embellished with enormous, gigantic golden ruffles that surrounded her body and included a collar that rose above her head.
Lizzo polished her appearance with glam makeup, nude glossy lips, and smoky eyes with gold lids. She wore a pair of black strappy sandals and an array of Anabela Chan jewellery, including Golden Wisteria Earrings in anodised recycled aluminium, laboratory-grown yellow sapphires, brown and white diamonds, and the Canary Peony Butterfly Ring.
Harry Styles
After the multi-colour patterned jumpsuit, Harry Styles returned to the red carpet with his whimsical fashion, sporting a custom-tailored Nina Ricci atelier: a velvet suit that showcased an hourglass silhouette, a sumptuous velvet texture, satin lapels, a nipped-in waistline with a peplum cut, and a large floral corsage in black satin organza that was tied around his neck. The two-piece was custom-made by Nina Ricci, headed up by creative director Harris Reed and styled by Harry Lambert.
Salma Hayek
Salma Hayek chose a recent Alexander McQueen dress for a witchy mesh and latex glam look. She wore a biker corset dress paired with an asymmetrical draped skirt, looking youthful beauty while flaunting her gorgeous curves in sheer panels, patchwork strips of leather, and the tiniest waistline. She accessorised her look with Boucheron jewellery exuding sultry vibes.
Ellie Goulding
Ellie Goulding stepped out on the red carpet in an intriguing and edgy metal-breasted ensemble.

The stunning Selezza Carmel matching cherry red co-ord featured a cropped lace top, dramatic tulle sleeves, and a matching pair of web-like trousers with a bag by Mae Cassidy.
Leomie Anderson
Sometimes, less is more and Leomie Anderson swore by this saying. Model Leomie Anderson donned a tasselled pink Area two-piece with a fringed skirt at the 2023 Brit Awards, boasting a halter neck with floral details.
Sam Smith
Sam Smith sported a custom-made, sculptured, inflatable latex full-body suit from HARRI. It featured exaggerated balloon-shaped shoulders and legs, platform boots, and matching black latex gloves. According to the designer of the quirky ensemble, there is a reason why Smith insisted on wearing it on the red carpet.
Speaking to WWD, Harikrishnan Keezhathil Surendran Pillai, founder of HARRI, said Smith’s decision to wear the inflatable design came as the singer has been dealing with online abuse about their body recently. “Sam was having a lot of hate comments recently after ‘Unholy’ about their body image,” Pillai said. The designer also added that their ensemble celebrates their “natural form and the beauty of being one’s self.” “I wanted to create an image which people have never seen Sam in,” Pillai noted.
Leigh-Anne Pinnock
Little Mix star Leigh-Anne Pinnock became a tangerine dream in this Alberta Ferretti hooded, floor-length gown from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection. It displayed romantically draped swathes of fabric, a plunging cowl neck and a wrap-effect bust with a ruched seam across the torso and a thigh-high slit looking incredible.
Becky Hill
Becky Hill wore a glittering Michael Kors Collection dress with metallic platform heels, stunning the audience. She wore a chocolate stretch jersey gown with sequin hand embroidery from the Fall/Winter 2022 Michael Kors Collection, which also featured asymmetrical detailing, a thigh-split and a sophisticated high neckline.
