The BRIT Awards red carpet was awash with glamour as celebrities turned out in force for the biggest night in British music.
But not everyone hit the right note when it came to their fashion choices, as these seriously questionable outfits show.
Actress Jamie Winstone, TikTok star Abby Roberts and singer Talia Storm were among those who missed the sartorial mark by miles, strutting their stuff in ensembles that flashed too much skin – or simply didn’t make sense.
There was plenty of underboob on display as stars opted for the most daring dresses possible, with Jaime and Maya Jama both offering flashes of their breasts in cutaway dresses.
Pert posterior: Tallia Storm left very little to the imagination in her black outfit which she teamed with black and silver heels and toted a white bag

Ashley Roberts also left little to the imagination, stepping out in a dramatically slashed gown that exposed much of her torso.
Meanwhile the male invitees were guilty of their own fashion faux pas. Funnyman Leigh Francis donned a matching suit and shirt in clashing pinstripe patterns, which he finished with a hat.
Meanwhile UK rap artist Meekz kept his whole face hidden behind a balaclava and sunglasses, which he wore with a white suit.
The awards have sparked controversy after scrapping male and female categories and switching to gender-neutral gongs for the first time in its history – with Adele and Ed battling it out for the Artist of the Year award.
It’s set to be a big night for British music, with Adele and Ed Sheeran leading the 2022 BRIT Awards nominations, with an impressive four nods each.
Big names: Wednesday’s ceremony will see Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher, Adele, Dave, Little Simz, and this year’s Rising Star award winner, Holly Humberstone, take to the stage for performances

Joining Adele and Ed with four nominations are Little Simz and Dave, who along with Sam Fender, will battle it out for the inaugural Artist of the Year award at the ceremony which airs at 8pm on ITV and will be hosted by Mo Gilligan for the first time.
The ceremony, in association with Mastercard, sees the most female artists nominated in over a decade, however, they are still outnumbered three to two by male nominees.
It comes after The Brit Awards sparked controversy after scrapping male and female categories and switching to gender-neutral gongs for the first time in its history, causing naysayers to brand the event ‘woke’.
Sam Fender, Central Cee, David Guetta are up for three awards on the night, while Doja Cat, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X are each nominated for two prizes and will go up against Taylor Swift for International Artist of the Year award.

Elsewhere, there are plenty of artist who’ve been double nominated for the 2022 ceremony including Becky Hill, Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Glass Animals, Griff, Joel Corry, Joy Crookes and KSI.
Organisers divided opinion last year with some outraged by the decision to switch to gender-neutral gongs for the first time in its history.
Bosses claimed the move was in a bid ‘to be as inclusive and as relevant as possible’ and allowed people to enter who do not identify as a man or woman.
But fans blasted the change as ‘woke drivel’, with many calling for a boycott.
Meanwhile, the song of the year prize will recognise the featured artists, rather than just the lead artists or named collaborators.
The 2022 ceremony will also feature four new awards, alternative/rock act; hip hop/grime/rap act; dance act and pop/R’n’B act.
These four new genre awards were up for a public vote on the Tik Tok app, as for the first time in the ceremony’s 45-year history, fans got to decide the outcome. The vote closed at 6pm GMT Thursday February 3, with users able to cast up to ten votes per category, per day.
The changes come after singer Sam Smith – who identifies as non-binary – put organisers under pressure to scrap male and female categories earlier this year.
Wednesday’s ceremony will see Ed Sheeran, Liam Gallagher, Adele, Dave, Little Simz, and this year’s Rising Star award winner, Holly Humberstone, take to the stage for performances.
Doja Cat had also been on the lineup, but was forced to pull out after several members of her crew tested positive for Covid.
She tweeted last week: ‘Unfortunately, due to cases of COVID within my crew, I will no longer be performing at the Brits. ‘It’s simply not safe for us to continue to rehearse together and put each other in harm’s way. I can’t wait to perform for my UK fans as soon as I can. Take care of yourselves.’
The rap star – who received nods for International Artist Of The Year and Best International Song for her SZA collaboration Kiss Me More – herself tested positive for the virus in December.
