Charli XCX in custom Marni

First off, this step-and-repeat is LOUD. It's fighting with almost everyone's outfits. I think this look would have fared much better with a more sedate backdrop, but regardless: It's fun. It also reminds me of the best day in elementary school PE: When you got to bounce a ball around on top of a parachute.

Dua Lipa in Versace

This is...fine?? It feels like a look they kept as a back-up for a lot of other events and decided they might as well use it now.

Joanne Froggatt

Who would have thought that Downton Abbey's Anna and Dua Lipa would wear something so similar! This is pretty foxy on her; I almost wish she'd just gone full vixen and worn a mini.

Kylie Minogue in custom Alexandre Vauthier

For one thrilling moment, I thought this look had ONE RUFFLED LEG. (I think it's just the way the skirt falls.)

Ellie Goulding

It also took me a LONG time to realize this is a bare midriff look; the satin and her skin are a similar hue. I liked it better under my delusion that it's one uninterrupted gown.

Maya Jama

I enjoy the optical illusion that she is levitating under there.

Olly Alexander

I decided you probably wanted to see this dashing coat!

Eve in Atsuko Kudo

We've seen a LOT of Atsuko Kudo latex dresses lately and with good reason -- this is very cool.

Rio Ferdinand

This looks cozy.

Tate McRae

This does NOT look cozy, but she does look good in it, although I don't really understand this shoe decision.

Clara Amfo

This is quite kicky. I might have really leaned in and gone for boots?

Kingsley Ben-Adir

I get it. This is fine!

Will Best and AJ Odudu

I told you the looks on this red carpet were interesting! That is an interesting...sleeveless top? Sure!

Jessie Ware

And here's the caftan I promised. It's a very good one.

Griff in Ruehl

This has a very Formal Victorian Shipwreck Victim Goes to a Great Gatsby Party feeling.

Tré Cool and Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day

Here's part of Green Day. Billie Joe's doing the Ryan Cabrera hair!

Mollie King

I quite like this BUT! I think the (intentionally) long sleeves make her posture look bad? That's not ideal.

Caroline Polachek in Jean Paul Gaultier

It's not a music awards show without some boob horns!

Isla Fisher

This is charming but also feels like she got lost on her way home from polo in, like, June.

Mel C

Reasonable AND on-brand.

Becky Hill

My actual kneejerk response to this is that is seems SO ANNOYING to wear. You'd be futzing with that top constantly.

Ella Henderson

This is dramatic and amusing.

Ari Balouzian, Ryan Hope and Jacob Lusk of Gabriels

I told you there were hats!

Natasha Bedingfield

Speaking of hats, she could put a witch one on with this look come December and look very glamorously spooky.

Bimini Bon Boulash

Never say that tinsel cannot be recycled! This is like a New Years Eve party hat has found new life.

Young Athena

And this is a great way to keep people from getting too close to you!

This Year's Brit Awards Red Carpet Was Actually Very Diverting

You might not recognize everyone, but you'll still enjoy looking at them.
