Brit Awards 2018: Paloma Faith leads the arrivals

She will showcase her powerhouse vocals when she performs to the crowds later in the evening.

And Paloma Faith ensured she was dressed to impress as she led the star-studded arrivals at the hotly-anticipated BRIT Awards 2018 Nominations Launch at ITV Studios in London.

The 36-year-old singer flashed a wide grin as she took centre-stage on the red carpet in a showstopping technicolour gown with an elegant Bardot neckline.

The platinum-haired songstress looked every inch the diva in her statement garment, which featured mosaic-style intricate embellishments.

Cinching in her tiny waist, the exquisite dress featured a flattering full A-line prom skirt and a sweeping boat neckline.

Sweeping part of her golden locks back into a sleek half-up ‘do, Paloma let her crimped tresses frame her striking features.

She injected an added dose of colour to her jaw-dropping look with a slick of bubble-gum pink lipstick and framed her eyes with dramatic mascara.
