There was plenty of skin on show as stars from the worlds of music and entertainment donned a variety of revealing, glitzy outfits on the red carpet at the Brit Awards.

Pop stars Katy Perry, Ellie Goulding, Pixie Lott and Little Mix star Perrie Edwards led the way in the glamour stakes, having opted for eclectic, fashion-forward styles.

Ahead of her live performance, Katy showcased her legs in a thigh-skimming pale pink and silver dress and matching blazer by Atelier Versace, with her newly bleached hair twisted into a severe top knot.

Ellie went for a more daring ensemble: an open-fronted black Philipp Plein gown with silver chains across her chest and a split up the skirt.

Her Little Mix co-stars each wore full-length gowns, with Jesy Nelson in a black leather dress, Leigh-Anne Pinnock in patchwork denim and Jade Thirlwall in a slinky white number.
