She doesn’t feature among this year’s nominees, but pop veteran Kylie Minogue ensured she claimed her own share of the spotlight as she took to the stage to present at the BRIT Awards on Wednesday evening.
The 49 year-old singer made sure all eyes were on her as she donned her second outfit of the evening while presenting Best British Female artist to Dua Lipa.
Clad in billowing white ruffles, the Aussie icon looked sensational in the asymmetric design, which flaunted her famously leggy physique.

Kylie’s signature golden locks were styled into a natural soft curl, while she injected a pop of colour with a bold red lip and lashings of mascara.

Foo Fighters took the prize for international group. U.S. rapper Kendrick Lamar was named best international male artist, with New Zealand singer Lorde taking the female solo artist honours.
The event featured performances from the likes of Sheeran, Lipa and Lamar, who rapped on top of a glass cube containing a luxury car that was smashed up by a man wielding a bat.
Lamar’s act appeared to suffer from technical difficulties that muted periods of his performance, leading fans on social media to express their frustration.

Other artists went for grand scale. Justin Timberlake opened the show with a rendition of Say Something accompanied by a scores-strong choir dotted throughout the audience, while Dua Lipa was accompanied by dozens of dancers, also scattered throughout the arena.
Many of the stars in attendance wore white roses on the red carpet and during the show as a gesture of support for the Time’s Up and #Metoo movements against sexual harassment and abuse and supporting women’s rights.
‘It does make a difference,’ Lipa told Reuters on the red carpet of the protest. ‘We are protesting in our own way and this how we’re going to make a difference.’
The show also saw Oasis front man Liam Gallagher perform Live Forever in a tribute to the victims of a suicide bombing attack on a venue hosting a concert by U.S. pop star Ariana Grande in Manchester in May 2017, which killed 22 people.
