The 2024 Brit Awards have begun with a host of stars arriving at London’s O2 for the night of music and celebration, with all eyes on the nominees.

This year will see a twist to hosting, as Roman Kemp, Maya Jama, and Clara Amfo all take to the stage after Mo Gilligan announced his departure last year.

Raye is set to stun this evening, with numerous nominations to her name while band The Last Dinner Party have been hit with ‘industry plant’ accusations after their rising star nod.

While the show doesn’t kick off on ITV until 8.30pm tonight, the celebrities are already out in force with some fantastic outfits, with on-trend cutaways and daring dresses.

Nobody has caused quite the stir that Sam Smith’s latex look did last year but Layton Williams wasn’t fading into the background as he arrived in a bold green suit.

The Strictly star opted for a smokey eye and nude lip to complement his striped asymmetric outfit.

Former Pussycat Doll and general icon, Ashley Roberts, laughed as she walked the carpet in a daring white gown which dramatically hugged her body.

She almost tripped over the floor-length skirt which had a thigh-high split and ab-flaunting underbust cutaway moment.

Body-hugging seemed to be the call of the moment, with Love Island legend Zara McDermott in a gorgeous red lace look.

She walked the carpet with her partner Sam Thompson – and his bestie Pete Wicks in a glamourous trio before the Towie star left the pair for a pic together.

Even Drag Race icon Bimini Bon Boulash looked stunning in their corset gown, accessorised rather alarmingly with metal spikes coming from their chest.

Laura Whitmore got the memo for dramatic slits as she showcased her classic all-black dress with an abstract dot pattern and asymmetric sleeve design.

Celeb’s Go Dating’s Tallia Storm decided to ditch downs entirely as she rocked a lingerie look, channelling her inner Ginger Spice in a Union Flag jacket and very little else.

Keeping things sleek, The Masked Singer host, Joel Dommett, ditched his more colourful suits as he posed in a chic all-black fit.

Days after announcing her pregnancy, Roman’s co-host Sian Welby arrived in a bump-hiding bright red dress, with red accessories including a lip bag.

The Capital FM host broke the news live on-air during Wednesday’s programme that she and partner Jake Beckett are set to welcome a new arrival.

She said: ‘I’ve got a bit of an announcement for you! I’m pregnant! I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep it from you for so long. It’s not a joke, it’s not a joke!’
