Brit Awards 2022: Best dressed stars, from Adele to Ed Sheeran

As the UK’s annual celebration of music returns with full force, these were the attendees whose outfits stole the show

On Tuesday evening, the most talented stars of British music came together for a celebration of the industry, marking the second real-life Brit Awards ceremony since the start of the pandemic.

Taking place at London’s O2 Arena, this year’s ceremony featured live performances from Adele, Dave and Ed Sheeran, with comedian Mo Gilligan hosting the proceedings.

While the night might be ostensibly all about music, the Brits is like any other red carpet event when it comes to fashion, with its guests often going the extra mile to make a sartorial statement.

This year’s highlights included Maya Jama in a Cher-inspired ensemble and Adele in a black velvet gown by Armani Prive.

Elsewhere, we saw Olivia Rodrigo opt for a silver sequin gown by Alexandre Vauthier while Little Simz channeled a more casual aesthetic in a pair of black high-waisted trousers and a bright lime green collared shirt.

The male attendees also dressed to the nines, with Ed Sheeran wearing an electric blue velvet suit by Etro, while Tom Daley wore a Louis Vuitton look that featured a patterned shirt and brown boots.
