The star-studded 2025 Brit Awards are stacked with celebrities posing for the cameras in an array of wild and wacky outfits at London’s O2 Arena.

All eyes are on Charli XCX, 32, as she leads the pack with the most Brit following her critically acclaimed 2024 album BRAT.

TV personality Davina McCall, 57, led the way she stunned in a lacy black mesh number.

The former Big Brother presenter, 57, underwent a craniotomy in November 2024 after a random health check discovered a 14mm wide brain tumour.

It’s been a while since an outfit had heads turning following Sam Smith’s latex in 2023, but singer and songwriterTeddy Swims – Jaten Collin Dimsdale – may have won that title after rocking up what appears to be a million plushie toys stapled to his outfit.

The star looked cheerful while posing in the very colourful and animated getup complete with brown shades and green lace up shoes.

This evening’s Brits marks the first time former Little Mix star Jade takes to the stage without her bandmates.

Little Mix have performed at the show across numerous years and won best group as recently as 2021.

Now the group is on hiatus and Jade’s debut solo record Angel of My Dreams has been nominated for song of the year as well as a pop act nod.

‘I’ve honestly manifested every day since the release of Angel Of My Dreams to perform at the BRIT Awards,’ she said.

Jade confessed she even cried when she found out, adding: ‘I can’t wait to bring a huge, chaotic pop moment to the BRITs stage!’
