MAKING HISTORY AT THE BRITS

From record breakers to revelry, the BR 2024 were jam-packed with amazing acts, fabulous fashion and nesting high jinks

The star-studded BRIT Awards - which, every year, delivers incredible performances that go down in history - was another unforgettable night of music, glamour and, of course, much-coveted gongs.

From barely-there dresses and black-tie moments to dramatic hair and make-up looks, the 44th BRIT Awards - often thought of as the UK's answer to the Grammy Awards - was truly a night to remember.

A-listers came together at The 02 Arena in London to celebrate the best of British music and to introduce new, emerging talent. This was the second year that the event was hosted on a Saturday night previously having typically taken place on a Tuesday - as 2023's schedule shake-up was hailed as a great success.

The nominations were announced in January in Bring On The BRITS, which was live-streamed on the BRIT Awards' official Instagram and Facebook accounts. Previously, there had been some tension surrounding how diverse the awards categories would be, following a row in 2023 when it emerged that all the nominees for Artist Of The Year were male, two years after the BRITS introduced genderless categories.

But on the night itself, it was the ladies who led the charge. Dua Lipa opened the show with her hit song Training Season, complete with aerial acrobatics, and the queen of pop, Kylie Minogue, closed it with a medley of her best-loved tunes and quick reveals of three different outfits. Artists such as Raye, Becky Hill with Chase & Status, and Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris also took to the stage to showcase their talents.
