From emotional speeches, gripping performances and incredible fashion looks, last night’s Brit Awards had it all. As we saw the Brits finally make categories gender-neutral, the award show was at its levelest playing field, seeing women such as Adele, Little Simz and Olivia Rodrigo triumph. With such excitement and buzz surrounding the event, here at Voir, we had to look at the standout moments of the night.
One of our favourite performances of the night was courtesy of Little Simz, as she sang two tracks (Introvert and Woman) from her critically acclaimed album ‘Sometimes I Might Be Introvert’. The performance had everything from choreography, slick outfit changes and an appearance from The Crown’s Emma Corrin. Simz then went on to pick up an award for ‘Best New Artist’, in which she took her mother up for the acceptance speech, delivering one of the most heartfelt and emotional speeches of the night.
Another rapper who stole the show was Dave, who performed with pinnacle members of the British Rap scene; Fredo, Ghetts, Meekz, Giggs. He executed his track ‘In The Fire’ with a fiery stage setup, including an electric guitar that doubled as a flamethrower.
Earlier on in the night, Dave was awarded ‘Rap Artist’, making this his second Brit award.
Of course, we have to mention Adele, who performed a soulful rendition of her track ‘I Drink Wine’. The 02 lit up with a sea of torch lights, with everyone enjoying seeing one of the most iconic singers of our time perform impeccably. Adele was nominated for four awards and left with three, adopting the new nickname ‘Queen Of The Brits’.
This year’s rising star, Holly Humberstone brought a delicate flavour to the night with her debut Brits performance of ‘London Is Lonely’. Her sweet vocals have us excited for what is to come in her career.
Making the North proud, Sam Fender received the award for ‘Rock/Alternative Artist’. He then delivered a note-perfect performance of his hit ‘Seventeen Going Under’.
International awards went to Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish and SilkSonic, whilst women in music were heavily awarded in the remaining British categories, with Dua Lipa, Becky Hill and Wolf Alice being recipients.
Although the Brits is a ceremony to acknowledge the best musical talents in our country and across the globe, there is always such an incredible array of fashion looks for us to enjoy, here is our rundown of the best looks from the night!
