Brit Awards 2012: Red Carpet

 

Not only is it the biggest night of the year for the British music industry but the Brit awards are probably my personal favorite awards of the year. Not only is it a great night for fashion with the stars swarming the red carpet but we are always guaranteed a truly brilliant bunch of performances, who could forget Plan B's fiery performance last year or the amazing collaboration of Dizzee Rascal and Florence Welsh in 2010.

Whilst I'm not the biggest Florence fan, that applies only to her music.  She tonight showed exactly what a credit she is to the fashion industry yet again wearing a dress from the SS 2012 Mcqueen collection whilst debuting a new, darker hairdo than that we are used to seeing from her.

Fresh from winning 6 Grammy's, Adele won two Brit Awards from her 3 nominations and was looking as flawless as always in her full length black Burberry dress with a sheer overlay and beaded neckline.

It came to no surprise to anyone that Rihanna scooped the Brit for International Female, but we're surprised she managed to make it to the stage at all with her Givenchy gown that reportedly weighs 100 Ib's, which she accessorized with Givenchy full length gloves fresh from the runway.

Lana Del Ray,who won the Brit for International Record, wowed in a floor length, off the shoulder Red Vivienne Westwood number, and whilst I'm not a fan of her highly acclaimed 'video games' I cant deny she looked every inch the star in her gown.  Pixie Lott also opted for full length with her black strapless number which looked fab next to her pale skin and blonde her and was finished off with red lips and a red clutch.



A mention has to go to Ray Winstone who, at 55, managed to do what his daughter still hasn't managed and  looked dapper than any of his younger counterparts tonight in a 3 piece pinstriped suit complete with a watch chain.



Worst dressed of the night? Without a doubt Emma Watson in her short red laced number that, on it's own was a faux pas, but next to Jessie J's similar yet beautiful gown is promised to get her on all the 'sack the stylist' lists for next week.
