The stars were out in force for The BRIT Awards 2024 held at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night.

Dua Lipa led the stars alongside Ashley Roberts, Zara McDermott and Joanna Froggat as they posed for photos on the star-studded red carpet ahead of the ceremony. 

Hosted by Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo, the event will see performances from Dua Lipa, Kyle Minogue and Ellie Goulding. 

Ashley, 42, looked nothing short of sensational as she flashed her toned midriff in a slinky gown with a crossover neckline and a draped skirt. 

The gorgeous dress also boasted a racy thigh-high split as she flashed toned legs while making her away along the red carpet.

Ashley’s racy dress pooled on the floor as she posed on the carpet of the famous awards ceremony. 

But the former Pussycat Doll star nearly suffered a wardrobe malfunction in the barely-there gown and struggled to avoid giving onlookers an X-rated eye full.

Meanwhile Former Love Island contestant Chloe, 28, put on a busty display in a white mini dress with a plunging cut-out neckline. 

The eye-catching number featured a dramatic collar and a built-in bra with semi-sheer sleeves and silver embellishments. 

The ITV2 show’s former host Laura opted for a single sleeved gown, with a quirky off-the-shoulder neckline and leggy thigh-high slit. 

The presenter elevated her height with heels and pulled her hair back into a high ponytail. 

Joining them was Zara McDermott, who stole the show in a fitted red lace gown with a halterneck and matching opera gloves. 

The TV personality looked sensational as she topped her classy ensemble off with strappy heels, styling her hair into elegant waves.

Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris, Raye and Becky Hill with Chase & Status will also take to the stage. 

A record 98 artists are up for the new 2024 BRIT award, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.

Leading the pack is Raye, who has broken the record for garnering the most nominations in a single year, with seven in total.

The British singer, 26, is up for Album Of The Year for her long-awaited debut album My 21st Century Blues. Her third single, Escapism, is nominated for Song of the Year.

Raye is also included in the five strong Best New Artist category and will also compete as a nominee in the categories for R&B Act and Pop Act.

Becky Hill, who is performing at the ceremony, sent temperatures soaring in a tight red mini dress and latex tights 

The Masked Singer host Joel Dommett opted for a tailored black suit which he wore with eye-catching white loafers

Influencer Hana Martin stunned in a corset top and bottoms with a chainmail overskirt 

She has beat reigning champions Craig David, Robbie Williams and the Gorillaz who all had been nominated for six awards in previous years.

The non-gendered Artist Of The Year Award sparked outrage last year, after it replaced individual Male and Female categories, but then failed to include any female or non-binary artists among its five nominations.

This year however, thanks in part to the category being doubled in size, there are six female nominees out of the 10, including Raye.

Arlo Parks, Jessie Ware, Lil Simz, Olivia Sims and Dua Lipa make up the female nominees, while Central Cee, Dave, J. Hus and Fred Again… are also nominated.

The first gender-neutral award was handed to Adele in 2022, but in her acceptance speech she pointedly told the audience: ‘I love being a woman.’ 

It is understood she also voiced her dismay after when this year’s shortlist was revealed to contain only men. 

When former One Direction star Harry accepted the Artist Of The Year award, he dedicated it to several female artists who weren’t nominated.

He said: ‘I’m aware of my privilege up here tonight so this award is for Reyna, Florence [Welch], Mabel and Becky [Hill].’ 

This year’s BRIT Awards will be live on ITV on March 2 at 8pm.
