Yesterday in London, the Brit Awards were presented at the O2 Arena. Critics found the show bland and boring, but there were a few exciting ensembles on the red carpet.
Justin Timberlake is all grown and sexy now, and taking the “suit and tie” thing seriously, but we will never forget where he came from. Never!
The tasty little nuggets of One Direction coordinated without being too matchy. Don’t you want to pull Zayn’s string? No? Just me? Right.
Mitch Winehouse wore a shirt with an image of daughter Amy. Boy George donned electric blue; Robbie Williams‘ purple tux is so very rakish.
More fine British tailoring: Louis Smith, Harley Alexander-Sule and Jordan Stephens, and a gentleman named Labrinth.
On to the ladies! A cool white coat really pops on Laura Mvula. Hate the neckline but love the rest of the ivory dress on Corinne Bailey Rae. Jourdan Dunn uses yellow as a highlighter, and her legs are the text.
Awkward buttoned-up unflattering sequins is what Gemma Arterton chose to wear. Karis Anderson, Courtney Rumbold, Alex Buggs — aka a group called Stooshe — rocked ill-fitting garments and weird shoes. Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirwall of Little Mix displayed a variety of hemlines and hairdos.
Laura Whitmore picked something short and shiny, like you’d expect on a music awards red carpet.
Rita Ora went for long and shiny, and it was a big ol’ mess.
