The 2024 Brit Awards red carpet was a dazzling affair, bringing together a host of talented musicians to celebrate the annual highlight of the British music scene. Sabrina Carpenter, Jade Thirlwall, and Teddy Swims stood out as the focal points of the evening with their unique styles.

Teddy Swims' song "Lose Control" was nominated for International Song of the Year. He made a true-to-form appearance on the red carpet, covered head-to-toe in teddy bears and various toys. Given the chilly weather at the O2 Arena that night, the American singer's choice of attire was a wise one. Sabrina Carpenter also shone on the red carpet, receiving the Global Icon Award at the Brit Awards, becoming the first international artist to receive this honor. She also kicked off the evening's performances and will be embarking on a UK and Ireland tour in the coming weeks.

Jade Thirlwall wore a stunning dress, which she described as a "cowboy wedding dress." She told the BBC that she was "so grateful" to be nominated for Best Pop Act and Song of the Year. Her song "Angel of My Dreams" honestly evaluates her relationship with the "toxic music industry" and aims to showcase "the price of fame." Since her group Little Mix went on hiatus in 2022, the 32-year-old singer has been developing her career as a solo artist in the past year.

Davina McCall appeared on the red carpet in a breathtaking all-black outfit. Just weeks ago, she revealed that she had undergone surgery for a benign but rare tumor. The host had something to celebrate that night, as she had just announced a new BBC dating show. British girl group FLO, consisting of Stella Quaresma, Renee Downer, and Jorja Douglas, were nominated for Best R&B Act. The group told the BBC that they had been preparing for their tour in recent weeks and working with Beyoncé's dance captain, Amari Marshall.

Rapper and YouTube sensation KSI opted for an all-black leather look. His song "Thick Of It" with Trippie Redd received a nomination for Song of the Year. He told the BBC that he is currently "casually juggling" his very busy schedule. "I have a fight at the end of the month, I'm making music, I'm on BGT (Britain's Got Talent), I'm making YouTube videos," he said. Hopefully, he can make time in his schedule for the Brit Awards party. Stormzy explained on stage that he was wearing sunglasses because he had "hurt his eye" playing padel tennis. Ultimately, he won the competition, taking home his fourth Brit Award for Best Hip Hop Act.
