Brits red carpet in pictures: Arrivals of Harry Styles, Olivia Dean and Lola Young

The Brits Awards red carpet was as vibrant as ever on Saturday evening, with stars making an appearance for the UK’s biggest night in music.

This time, though, and for the first time in its 50-year history, the Brits swapped London for Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena.

But one thing remained the same and that was the fashion on display – with catwalk-ready looks from the likes of Olivia Dean, Rosalía and Harry Styles.

It was a big night for co-ordination, with Wet Leg making sure they matched perfectly, as did Kelly and Sharon Osbourne.

Olivia Dean is the woman of the moment – and not only did she perform at the show, but she won some of the night’s biggest categories, including album and artist of the year.

Her yellow, floor-length gown was in keeping with her classic sophisticated and elegant red carpet style.

Maya Jama joked on social media over the weekend about the coincidence of the Brits moving to Manchester when she did – to be with her boyfriend, Manchester City star Rúben Dias.

She looked perfectly angelic in an all-white glittery dress, complete with a flowing fur shawl.

And Harry Styles is the man of the moment – not only did tonight’s performance mark three years since his last at the Brits, but he’s a week away from releasing his fourth studio album Kiss All The Time, Disco Occasionally.

He wore a disco-approved pinstripe suit on the red carpet on Saturday evening.

Sombr lived up to his name with a moody looking, gothic red satin and black lace top complete with tailored red trousers.

The US singer did sadly leave empty-handed after being nominated for international artist and international song of the year.

JADE set a high bar with her performance at last year’s Brits, in which she sang her song Angel Of My Dreams in – you guessed it – gigantic angel wings.

And she looked just as ethereal tonight on the red carpet in an incredibly voluminous peplum-skirted dress.

Singer-songwriter Rosé who is part of K-pop group BLACKPINK, was delighted to pick up the award for international song of the year for APT, her hugely successful duet with Bruno Mars.

Rosé kept it simple on the carpet tonight, complementing her ice blonde hair with a simple black bow dress.

Fresh from appearing at London Fashion Week, Skepta brought his signature style up north to Manchester in a matching leather jacket and bag combo.

Hopefully that bag is big enough to take home the award he won tonight – the best dance act award he shared with collaborator Fred Again…
