Jessie J was one of my favourites on the red carpet this evening. The British singer wore a red sheer gown with strategically placed floral embroideries by Falguni & Shane Peacock. Jessie made a bold statement in this one. Jessie wore her hair pulled back, in a way that made her hair pop out in a voluminous way. The singer completed her look with large hoop earrings and black lacquered nails.
Rihanna took home Best International Female Artist award in a Givenchy Spring 2012 Couture look. The singer's taupe shimmering embellished gown featured a thigh-high split and a plunging neckline. Rihanna teamed her gown with with Givenchy peep-toes and brown leather opera gloves. The singer wore her hair in a chic updo, she completed her look with Solange Azagury-Partridge earrings. The dress is really a good look for Rihanna, but I just can't stand gloves on the red carpet.
International Breakthrough Act, Lana Del Rey walked the red carpet in a vivid red gown. The off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood couture gown wasn't a good choice for Lana's figure, since the design was just sort of hanging on her. There isn't much to say besides that, since Lana didn't accessorize and didn't do much with her hair either. Matching red nail polish completed Lana's look. Really, some bold accessories could have saved this look.
Adele took home two awards. The British singer opted for a floor-length black gown by Burberry with tree-quarter length sleeves. Actually, this gown originally is strapless but a demure sheer bodice with beaded neckline was attached to it. Adele wore her hair in bouncy curls, she accessorized with De Beers jewels.
Victoria Justice also attended the BRIT Awards. The 20-year-old wore an interesting long-sleeved minidress by IZMAYLOVA. The mini dress featured leather paneling, cut-outs, a double wrapped leather belt and crushed velvet. Victoria teamed her dress with studded Brian Atwood pumps and diamond drop earrings. The star wore her hair up in a strange twisted updo, which weighed the look down for me.
X-Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger donned a strapless studded lemon gown by Versace, from the Spring 2012 collection. The column gown featured a fitted bodice and a more flowy skirt. The 33-year-old paired her gown with strappy sandals and gold jewels. Her raven locks were down in a pin-straight style. Nicole's look was finished with a glossy pout. The only flaw of this look for me is that it seems like the bodice is sitting too low on her body.
Pixie Lott looked beautiful. The singer wore a floor-length black lace gown with corset-bodice by D&G. The gorgeous gown fitted Pixie Lott like a second skin. I guess the styling made the look really successful for me. The singer accessorized with a velvet red clutch and a massive ruby red cocktail ring. Pixie's hair was in a curly retro do, a classy red pout completed her look.
Florence Welch wore Alexander McQueen twice last evening. To walk the red carpet, the Florence and the Machine-singer donned an Alexander McQueen Spring 2012 look. The nude gown had a rise-and-fall skirt and long sleeves. She teamed her gown with matching Alexander McQueen wedges. For her performance of No Light, No Light, Florence opted to wear another McQueen look. The gown featured a gold embroidered bodice which flowed into a sheer beaded chiffon skirt and sleeves.
Kylie Minogue presented at the award show. The Australian singer wore a strapless royal blue gown by YSL with a bejeweled accent on the empire-waist. Kylie's gown also featured a front split. She accessorized with massive dangling diamond earrings, her hair was down in a wavy style.
Christina Perri wore a very daring look. She walked the red carpet in a vivid red dress with completely sheer top by Basil Soda. The singer had sequined her nipples just to be sure and also made sure her long tresses fell over her twins. Although I'm not a big fan of the completely sheer bodice, the flowing layered skirt with train is beautiful.
Fearne Cotton looked very vintage on the red carpet. The TV-personality donned a Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2012 look. She paired a white lace blouse with embellishments at the collar with a cute and layered skirt. Fearne accessorized with thick-banded sandals and a cute patent leather clutch. Her blonde hair was in a soft bob.
Alexandra Burke opted for a less known designer, she wore a dress by Indian designer duo Alpana & Neeraj, from the 2011 collection. The goddess-like dress featured a midnight blue chiffon-length gown with a molded leather top, attached to the goddess-like bodice. The singer accessorized with statement jewelry, Alexandra's look was completed with a super tight top-braid.
My favourites are Jessie J and Pixie Lott.
