The Brit Awards 2022 is underway and the stars are flocking to the red carpet donning their bold, beautiful and most daring looks. 

Ed Sheeran was an early bird at London’s O2 Arena and it was hard to spot him, with the Bad Habits singer donning an electric blue velvet suit for his red carpet outfit. 

The singer was in great spirits as he pulled a series of funny poses alongside singer and The Voice judge Anne-Marie, who rocked a smart yet edgy look in a black leather jacket, cut out bra and flared trousers. 

Speaking of, there was apparently a black cut-out memo that many of the stars agreed to as Maya Jama and Ashley Roberts were among those who wore similar looks. 

Walk The Line presenter Maya got her abs out on the red carpet after undergoing a lymphatic drainage massage on her stomach yesterday. The 27-year-old presenter looked striking in a black dress which boasted a cut-out pattern across her torso to expose her taut and toned abs. Maya is one of the three presenters at this year’s Brits, joining BBC Radio 1 host Clara Amfo and Mo Gilligan, the latter of who will be taking charge of hosting the main show. 

Elsewhere on the red carpet, Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts also donned a black cut-out dress and also put on a leggy display, with her gown featuring a thigh-high side split. She also teamed her sultry look with a pair of long black gloves for extra pizazz.

YouTuber, singer and boxer KSI hit the red carpet looking smart in a grey suit but made it flirty by forgoing a shirt underneath and instead, wearing a harness over the top. 

DJ Joel Corry, comedian Munya Chawawa and influencer and presenter Nella Rose were also among the first set of celebs to grace the red carpet. 

Comedian Mo will be the master of ceremonies for this year’s Brits, taking over from Jack Whitehall who hosted for three years. He is the first Black celebrity to host the awards solo making for a momentous occasion.
