Rihanna, Adele and Kylie Minogue rule the red carpet @ the 2016 BRIT Awards


The 2016 BRIT Awards kicked off in typical style on Wednesday night, as the biggest stars of the music and showbiz worlds descended on London's O2 Arena.
Leading the way on the red carpet were the likes of superstar singers and international icons Rihanna, Kylie Minogue and Adele, who was the first winner of the night with the British Female Solo Artist gong.
Rihanna, 28, rocked a beautifully feminine look for the night ahead of her live performance during the show, wowing in a layered and very pretty lilac dress with a low plunging neckline for maximum cleavage-baring.

The Work hitmaker showed off her svelte yet ample curves in the body-skimming dress, which had an almost seashell-like effect all over it.
Its plunging neckline dropped down from spaghetti straps, allowing her to show off her decolletage and braless chest, and she pulled the look together with her raven dresses worn poker straight in a sharp bob.
She also showed off a pair of barely-there silver heeled sandals and a smattering of Asprey jewellery, covering her heavily tattooed hands and wrists. 
Making an scene-stealing appearance was newly-engaged Kylie Minogue, who arrived on the arm of her new fiance Joshua Sasse.

The 47-year-old pop icon dazzling in her flirty-cum-gothic inspired black dress, complete with a semi-sheer black and nude corset and a full prom-style skirt in a heavy lace.
She teamed the beautifully-cut piece with a quirky wide-brimmed hat on her golden, curly tresses, and finished the look with a pair of emerald green shoes.
Adele, 27, shunned her usual all-black look for a vivid red flowing gown, complete with a plunging neckline to reveal her ample cleavage.
The superstar singer - who is one of the lead performers on the night, and has been nominated for four awards - looked dramatically fierce in the long, floaty gown, which was constructed with several ruffled layers.

Meanwhile, one of the first to arrive, Laura Whitmore - who was recently romantically linked to Leonardo DiCaprio - looked typically stunning in a spider-web effect LBD that allowed her to flaunt her fantastic pins as she arrived before everyone else, as this year's official red carpet reporter.
She showed off almost every inch of her toned, slender figure in the dazzling garment, which was cut very high on her thighs and finished with a feather-effect skirt.
The body of the fitted dress allowed flashes of her skin to show through the sheer weaved fabric, and her modesty was covered with a textured matte black design over her chest and hips.
Irish star Laura, who is known for hosting the I'm A Celebrity spin-off show and also works for MTV, completed her working look with a chunky black choker around her neck and her blonde mane teased into stylish waves, while wearing a heavy smoky shadow to accentuate her pale blue eyes.

The 43-year-old ex-Spice Girl's notably classy look made her stand out from the crowd, the dress skimming her curves down to her knees. She finished off her eveningwear with a pair of classic pointed patent court shoes in nude, and wore her brunette locks down, tumbling over her shoulders.
Looking drop dead gorgeous and following shortly behind her was Abbey Clancy. The statuesque beauty, 30, stunned in a metallic mini dress that left little of her enviable frame to the imagination.
