The BRIT Awards 2012. . .

Last night saw the celebs hit the red carpet once again for the BRIT Awards. When I think about the BRIT awards, it always brings me back to the 'Oasis or Blur' debate of the mid 90's. Ah, them were the days, waiting to see who got the most pissed at the ceremony and what kind of new rift would be sparked between them. Nowadays I'm more interested in what the stars are wearing. Speaking of Blur, did anyone else notice last night they looked like they had just stepped out of 1996?

Here's a few of my favourite frocks. Although Jessie J's sheer red number didn't leave much to the imagination, I loved that she took a risk and I think she looked stunning. I loved her hair as well and that she moved away from her usual blunt bob. Holly Willoughbooby certainly got it right and lived up to her nickname with this plunging neckline. I love the peplum detail on her hips. Adele's red carpet dress wasn't very dissimilar to her Grammy's gown but I much preferred the dress she wore for her performance. I do wish she would wear something other than black for a change.

I loved the colour of Kylie's dress, on a night where a lot of singers chose red or black. I'm not a big fan of the style of the dress though. I liked Lana Del Ray's dress but it didn't blow me away and her acceptance speech cemented the fact that I can not stand her. Florence Welch stayed true to her usual ethereal style in a peach number but in certain light it was hard to distinguish the dress from her pale skin. It contrasted beautifully with her ruby locks.

First time BRIT winners, One Direction looked very dapper in their suits in various shades of grey. Whoever is styling them is definitely getting a thumbs up from me! I loved the colour of will.i.am's shirt and his little white bow tie! He needs to lose the Madonna gloves though.

I was so so SO disappointed with the outfit choices for Little Mix. Leigh Ann is dressed like she's in her forties and they just looked so mismatched together. Bring back they're cute original style! When I first saw Rihanna's dress I loved it, but the more I see it in photographs, I hate it. Especially the long brown leather evening gloves. Gaaaaaaaaggg. As for Pixie Lott, this dress creates an odd silhouette and does her no favours. She's gone down in my style estimations of late.

Next up is the Oscars at the weekend, red carpet heaven! What were your favourite outfits from last night?
