The star-studded 2024 Brit Awards is filled to the brim with celebrities who have all arrived at London’s O2 Arena in an array of daring and baring outfits.

From Kylie Minogue to Maya Jama, the Brits red carpet has been blessed with classic glamour, fashion-forward suits, and the most abs-flashing and revealing looks ever.

This year will see a twist to hosting, as Roman Kemp, Maya, and Clara Amfo all take to the stage after Mo Gilligan announced his departure last year.

All eyes are on singer Raye with numerous nominations to her name, while band The Last Dinner Party have been hit with ‘industry plant’ accusations after their rising star nod.

The show kicks off on ITV at 8.30pm tonight but the celebrities have given fans quite a warm-up with on-trend cutaways and see-through dresses galore.

Nobody has caused quite the stir that Sam Smith’s latex look did last year but Rob Beckett did decide to rock up in a giant inflatable giraffe costume… for some reason.

Meanwhile, Kylie Minogue, 55, looked ageless in a black ruffled gown ahead of closing the show.

She grinned at the cameras, looking thrilled ahead of being presented with the Global Icon award later this evening.

Kylie, trendsetter that she is, was followed by Maya Jama also in a glam black gown with ruffles around the bottom in a mermaid shape.

The Love Island host opted for crushed velvet and a see-through corset with a dramatic strapless scoop neck, showing off her stunning figure.

Also strutting on the red carpet was the gorgeous, Ellie Goulding seen in her first major public outing since confirming her divorce last week.

The 37-year-old hitmaker confirmed her separation from her husband Caspar Jopling after endless speculation over their relationship.

She looked gorgeous in a peach silky gown, draped over her body in a style reminiscent of a Greek goddess, baring her incredibly toned abs.

While also on the red carpet, poor Pete Wicks was left in the dust by his best mate Sam Thompson as he smooched in Zara McDermott front cameras in a loved-up display.

The trio reunited for some group snaps, with the two men looking dapper in suits and the Love Island legend in a gorgeous red lace look with rose and coordinating gloves.

Also sharing the love was Jamie Laing and partner Sophie Habboo, both Jamie and Sam have been the focus of some controversy of late as they stepped into roles many felt they were not qualified for.

Jamie will take over from Jordan North at Radio 1, while the I’m A Celeb star had an uncomfortable interview with Dune’s Timothy Chalamet.

Unfazed by these backlashes, the stars smiled on for snaps with the new radio DJ looking thrilled next to Sophie, who was in a bold pink structured gown.

Reality stars really said we’re bringing the fashion this year as Olivia Attwood left jaws on the floor in her lacy number – complete with see-through lace bra and pants.

She gracefully unbuttoned her crisp white suit jacket to reveal her braless, free-nipple look, giving the cameras a cheeky smile as she did so.

Nude illusion has certainly been popular with the stars this year as The Last Dinner Party continued their reputation for bold political fashion statements.

Two of the five performers – Emily Roberts and Lizzie Mayland – ditched bras entirely in nipple-revealing dresses, with their bandmates going for corsets and miniskirts.

Singer and guitarist Abigail Morris made her statement less revealing but even more obvious, in a floor-length gown which read ‘I’m only here for your entertainment’.

The Rising Star nominees have been hit with accusations that the group is backed by music industry bigwigs, seemingly without having proved themselves first.

With the group set to perform later, they will no doubt be under much scrutiny and seem to be saying they have nothing to hide.

Cut-away dresses are definitely in as Becky Hill rocked a very 00s, Jodie Marsh-esque strappy black dress which barely left anything to the imagination.

Keeping things casual, Mel C arrived to shake up the lacy nude theme of the evening, opting instead for an oversized suit jacket, with gold details and leather-look bralette.

Layton Williams wasn’t fading into the background either as he arrived in a striking green suit.

The Strictly star opted for a smokey eye and nude lip to complement his striped asymmetric outfit.

McFly icons Tom Fletcher and Danny Jones arrived together, having recently been announced as the new judges of The Voice in the first-ever duo.

The pair even co-ordinated their outfits, going for all black with Tom adding some gold sparkle to his suit and the Masked Singer winner channelling his Grease alter-ego in a leather jacket.

Former Pussycat Doll and general icon, Ashley Roberts, laughed as she walked the carpet in a daring white gown which dramatically hugged her body.

She almost tripped over the floor-length skirt which had a thigh-high split and ab-flaunting underbust cutaway moment.

Drag Race icon Bimini Bon Boulash looked stunning in their corset gown, accessorised rather alarmingly with metal spikes coming from their chest.

Fleur East showed off her incredible baby bump in a brown jumpsuit, rocking her gorgeous natural hair.

She had announced her pregnancy at the start of the year, tagging her husband Marcel Robin in a post captioned: ‘2024 is gonna be different…????❤️.’

Laura Whitmore got the memo for dramatic slits as she showcased her classic all-black dress with an abstract dot pattern and asymmetric sleeve design.

Talking of dramatic slits, CMAT chose to keep her entire back exposed – and her bum crack – in an incredible low black dress with fluffy trim.

Celeb’s Go Dating’s Tallia Storm decided to ditch downs entirely as she rocked a lingerie look, channelling her inner Ginger Spice in a Union Flag jacket and very little else.

Keeping things sleek, The Masked Singer host, Joel Dommett, ditched his more colourful suits as he posed in a chic all-black fit.

Days after announcing her pregnancy, Roman’s co-host Sian Welby arrived in a bump-hiding bright red dress, with red accessories including a lip bag.

The Capital FM host broke the news live on-air during Wednesday’s programme that she and partner Jake Beckett are set to welcome a new arrival.

She said: ‘I’ve got a bit of an announcement for you! I’m pregnant! I don’t know how I’ve managed to keep it from you for so long. It’s not a joke, it’s not a joke!’
