You Have Depop to Thank For Holly Humberstone’s BRITs Look
Holly Humberstone‘s BRITs outfit was one to remember, and not just because of how incredible she looked wearing it. The artist sourced her look with the help of Depop, wearing a custom jumpsuit and gloves by seller Pristine, handmade in London. On the look, Humberstone said that “I’m so excited to be dressed by Depop for my first ever BRIT’s performance! I love vintage, and really care about sustainable fashion – I find most of my clothes second hand so it just made total sense to keep it circular for the BRITs.

Joy Crookes Wears Another Incredible Outfit to the BRITs
The 2022 BRIT Awards took place at the O2 Arena tonight, and a number of the red carpet outfits caught viewers’ eyes. One standout outfit in particular came from Irish-Bangladeshi artist Joy Crookes, who, back in 2020, wore a traditional lehenga to the awards ceremony to make a statement about the industry’s lack of South Asian artists. For the 2022 awards, the neo-soul artist wore another powerful ensemble: a crop top with matching skirt and cape made by British designers Kate Walker and Natalie Roar. Crookes shared an image of the outfit on Instagram with the caption “came dressed like an award in case I don’t take any home tonight #BRITs,” crediting South Asian-owned brands like Byredo and Alighieri for her makeup and jewelry.

BRITs 2022: The Best Dressed Stars on the Red Carpet
The 2022 BRIT Awards are a much-needed fashion indulgence. Unlike film and television award red carpets, music award shows are dedicated to over-the-top celebrity outfits — and with stars like Adele, Little Simz, and Holly Humberstone leading the nominations, the looks promise to be dramatic, tailored, and a bit ’90s. Opening the red carpet was a daring, black Mônot two-piece set with zigzag hemlines worn by Maya Jama. Nominee Holly Humberstone also brought a bit of ’90s to the BRITs with a grunge-inspired black lace dress paired with feathered, arm-length cuffs. KSI kept it cool with an eclectic black harness worn over a smart grey suit, vertical split-hem trousers, and chunky platform shoes. And Anne-Marie switched it up with a minimal, black leather jacket, as opposed to her...

If there was one thing we were all highly anticipating at the 2022 BRIT Awards, it was Adele.

Armani is no stranger to dressing stars for the red carpet. With the return of the superstar to her home ground, the brand created a classic evening ensemble to complement the occas...
The BRIT Awards 2022 Red Carpet Is Serving “Matrix” Meets Mugler
It looks as if everybody on the red carpet at the 2022 BRIT Awards had recently attended a screening of “The Matrix Resurrections.” Apparently, the sartorial order of the day was “undisputedly cool,” with attendees taking us into the future by swanning the carpet in black cutouts, structural shapes, ankle-sweeping coats, and a whole lot of leather. BRIT Award winner Little Simz led the vanguard in an all-black ensemble layered with a pop of neon green, courtesy of Prada. She completed the look with some red-tinted sunglasses that Trinity would no doubt approve of. Behind her came Ashley Roberts in a standout black halter-neck Mônot gown with leather gloves — this time fusing “The Matrix” with the late, great Thierry Mugler. It was clear to see MuglerR...

Brian May Slams Elimination of Gendered Awards, Wonders If Queen Would Be Forced to Have Transgender Member
Queen guitarist Brian May slammed the BRIT Awards for their removal of gender-specific award categories. He also wondered whether Queen would be have been “forced” to have transgender and multi-racial band members if they existed in present day. In an interview with The Mirror, May compared the BRIT Awards’ shift away from male and female-specific categories to an infringement on personal freedom. He then used the topic to pontificate on a what he calls an “atmosphere of fear” that is plaguing society. “…because people are afraid to say how they really think,” May said with a fearful tone himself, then warning that “there will be some kind of explosion.” Advertisement Related Video Even less tactfully, May went on to say that Queen “would be forced to have people of different colors and di...
BRITs 2021: Fashion’s New Socially Distanced Accessory Is a Pair of Opera Gloves
Opera gloves were the unexpected accessory of choice at the 2021 BRIT Awards. Held live from London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, 11 May, some of the best dressed stars on the red carpet had a few things in common: pastel ruffles, neon gowns, and “COVID friendly” accessories like designer masks, socially distanced headpieces, and opera gloves that completed a co-ordinated look. Two of the most memorable outfits on the red carpet came from Mabel and Raye. The singers wore body-hugging neon gowns with Mabel in lime green, Raye in fuchsia, and long elegant opera gloves to match. Jessie Ware and Lianne La Havas also chose opera gloves to complete their looks, but instead went for a more minimal palette of black and animal print. It makes so much sense why opera gloves are so popular...
