She won The X Factor under the tutelage of Rita Ora, beating rival judge Cheryl, in 2015.
But Louisa Johnson showed she can hold her own, without the help of either pop star mentor on Wednesday night as she arrived at the BRIT Awards 2018 at London’s O2 Arena.
Rocking up in a metallic emerald dress, Louisa turned heads in the gown, which featured a variety of intricate cut-outs, teasing her torso and her lean pins.
A cut (out) above the rest! Louisa Johnson teased her torso and lean pins in a plunging metallic green gown leaving little to the imagination… as she arrived on the BRITs red carpet
The 20-year-old Best Behaviour singer showcased her lithe physique in the floor-length gown which perfectly flashed hints of her torso and her deeply tanned limbs.
The plunging neckline offered a daring edge to the look and she added a matching pair of strappy heels to the emerald ensemble.
The gown flashed Louisa’s naked back and she clutched a white rose in honour of the #metoo movement, showing her support for women who have been sexually harassed in the arts.
Louisa wore her silvery blonde hair loosely around her shoulders in light waves and added nude gloss to her lips as she beamed for the cameras.

The stars were out in force on Wednesday night for the BRITS 2018 Awards, held at London’s O2 Arena.
Hosted by Jack Whitehall, fans will see performances from the likes of Clean Bandit, J Hus, Jorja Smith and Stormzy, Liam Payne and Paloma Faith.
Dua Lipa, 22, leads the nominations with five nods, with Ed Sheeran, 27, hot on her heels with four. Sam Smith has been left out completely, in one of the biggest award snubs in history.
There could be a spot of awkwardness on the night as former One Direction bandmates Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Liam Payne will go head to head in the category of British Artist Video Of The Year.
