The biggest night in UK music kicked off in style as stars came to south east London this evening for the BRIT Awards 2023 ceremony.
But while the red carpet at the 02 centre was awash with glamorous styles, some celebrities missed the fashion mark – despite their best efforts.
Among the worst dressed at the star-studded bash was singer Tallia Storm, who donned a tiny pink bikini, finishing off the ensemble with a giant pair of knee high fur boots, and a large shaggy coat.
Continuing the faux fur theme throughout the rest of the outfit, she also added a large pink furry hat, and carried a tote bag made of the same fabric.
The 24-year-old singer also wore a glistening silver bejewelled chain around her neck with her name attached as a metal pendant.

Her blonde tresses were styled into loose waves, which cascaded past her shoulders, and she wore a soft, natural make-up look, pairing a nude lip with pink blush and a smokey eye.
Tallia appeared confident as she struck a pose or two on the red carpet, smiling at the assembled photographers as she showed off the unusual outfit.
Meanwhile, singer-songwriter and rapper Ashnikko also chose an eye-catching look, wearing a gown that appeared to be made of a clear, thin rubber fabric.
The musician, who recently shared their new single, You Make Me Sick! – their first single since 2021, paired the frock with towering perspex platform heels.
They completed the bold look with an eye-catching hair style, with locks cut into a bold, blunt bob, dyed a rich blue tone.
And their make-up was equally creative, with on-trend, barely there bleached eyebrows peeking out from beneath their fringe, alongside an otherwise natural look, with fresh skin and a nude lip.

Elsewhere, singer-songwriter Kamille opted for a bold look, showing off her pregnancy bump in a floor-length turquoise gown.
The striking frock, which included a head covering and long sleeves with matching gloves, left her stomach uncovered.
Posing on the red carpet in south east London, the recording artist tenderly cradled her bare bump, wrapping her gloved hands and arms around it.
She beamed as she posed for photographs, showing off her radiant complexion and sophisticated make-up look, pairing pink lips with classic black eyeliner and pink blush.

Fresh from their Grammy win, Sam Smith was also among the stars who took to the BRIT Awards in a very bold outfit.
The Unholy singer sported a shiny black outfit, boasting a one piece inflated suit, made from what appeared to be a shiny, latex-style material.
Their one-piece was fashioned into an unusual shape, boasting enormous should pads and sleeves, and large legs, and a zip up the front.
Sam donned black platform boots alongside the fashion-forward outfit, adding several inches to their height.
However, they kept their hair and make-up simple, showing off a natural, fresh-faced look, and short bleach blonde locks, which were combed back.
Finishing the off the look, the singer donned drop earrings, which featured a stud, and an anchor shaped pendant, with a pearl.

Another bold look was worn by TV personality, Yinka Bokinni, who took to the red carpet in an unusual tunic and trouser outfit.
Her top boasted shoulder pads and a very daring neckline that left little to the imagination, paired with rather more conventional wide legged black trousers.
She made sure to showcase the unusual outfit by making it the centrepiece of her whole look, pairing it with a simple hair and make-up style.
Looking fresh faced, Yinka showed off her clear skin with a light foundation base. She paired it with a nude lip, highlighting her lip stud.
And the TV personality opted for a classic eye look with a twist, donning dark eye-liner in a modern cat-eye style across her lids.
Meanwhile, her brown tresses were styled into a down do. They were parted in the centre, and slicked back into a smooth style that flowed past her shoulders.
The final touch to her outfit was statement jewellery in her ears. On one, she wore a gold ear cuff and drop earring, while she adorned her other love with a hoop, and a pearl stud.

The male stars were also among those to take their spot on the worst dressed list at this year’s BRIT Awards.
Fan favourite, Lewis Capaldi, showed off his inimitable style in a felt-style maroon jacket decorated with embroidered flowers.
The Scottish musician, who is up for the coveted Song of the Year prize with his tune Forget Me, paired the eye-catching jacket with rather more sombre clothes.
He sported black trousers and a black t-shirt underneath the unusual coat, which he paired with plain black trainers.

TV personality Megan McKenna also opted for an unusual outfit, sporting a black leather minidress, paired with cowboy-inspired accessories including a stetson and boots.
The BRITS is set to be a star-studded night, with the likes of Lewis Capaldi, Stormzy, David Guetta, Lizzo, Harry, Styles and Ella Henderson all performing at the ceremony.
Harry Styles, Dua Lipa and Sam Smith lead the nominations.
In a surprise snub, female artists were shut out of the Artist Of The Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by scrapping its male and female-centric categories.
Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.
