Laura Whitmore puts on a leggy display in a ruffled gold mini dress

Celebrities and stars of the music world were out in force for The Brit Awards 2023 at the 02 Arena in London on Saturday night.

And Laura Whitmore put on a leggy display as she walked the red carpet at the glitzy event where she turned up the glamour.

The former Love Island host, 37, opted for a gold mini dress with a ruffled one shoulder design as she posed up a storm.

The thigh-skimming number highlighted her toned and tanned legs while she boosted her frame with strappy black stilettos.

Laura wore her blonde tresses pinned back with pretty tendrils around her face while opting for a glamorous makeup look. 

She added a pop of colour to her look with a slick of red lip and made sure to work all her best angles. 

Mo Gilligan returns as The BRIT Awards host for the second year running, with the comedian saying he is ‘honoured’ to be back to celebrate the biggest night in British music. 

For the first time in the ceremony’s history, it takes place on a Saturday, broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. 

Harry Styles, Wet Leg, and Sam Smith lead this year’s nominations as the stars battle it out for the coveted awards.

All three will perform on the night, with Lizzo, Becky Hill, Cat Burns and Stormzy also storming the stage.  

Music bosses have come under fire, however, when the shortlist was announced last month. 

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. 

The first gender-neutral award was handed to Adele last year, but in her acceptance speech she pointedly told the audience: ‘ love being a woman.’

Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.

Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again – real name Fred Gibson – are also up for album of the year, alongside The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.

Charli XCX, whose fifth studio album Crash topped the charts, and Florence and the Machine, whose album Dance Fever earned the singer her fourth UK number one, were notably absent.

Now, BRIT Award bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for its new gender-neutral prize.

Also nominated are Eliza Rose And Interplanetary Criminal with Baddest Of Them All, George Ezra with Green Green Grass and Harry Styles with As It Was.

Speaking after their four nods, Wet Leg said: ‘Somebody hold our horses while we get to grips with this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to comprehend, we never could have expected for our wee band to achieve this.’

Nominated for Alt Rock are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Nova Twins, Tom Grennan and Wet Leg.
