Leigh-Anne Pinnock stuns as she goes braless in a stunning Grecian orange draped gown on the red carpet at The BRIT Awards

Leigh-Anne Pinnock put on a very daring display as she attended The BRIT Awards at the O2 Arena on Saturday night.

The Little Mix singer, 31, looked incredible from head-to-toe in an orange draped gown with a daringly high slit.

She risked a serious wardrobe malfunction in the eye-catching gown, which had an open neckline to show off her ample assets. 

It crisscrossed at the waist to show off her svelte figure, and she teamed it with simple gold jewellery.

Leigh-Anne added a few extra inches of height to her frame in a pair of matching orange platform high heels.

Her raven tresses were swept up into a bun with an elaborate halo hairdo on top for added drama.

Leigh-Anne finished off her look with a full face of glamorous make-up, complete with winged eyeliner.

Mo Gilligan returns as The BRIT Awards host for the second year running, with the comedian saying he is ‘honoured’ to be back to celebrate the biggest night in British music. 

For the first time in the ceremony’s history, it takes place on a Saturday, broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. 

Harry Styles, Wet Leg, and Sam Smith lead this year’s nominations as the stars battle it out for the coveted awards.

All three will perform on the night, with Lizzo, Becky Hill, Cat Burns and Stormzy also storming the stage.  

Music bosses have come under fire, however, when the shortlist was announced last month. 

In a surprise snub, female artists were shut out of the Artist Of The Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by scrapping its male and female-centric categories.

The first gender-neutral award was handed to Adele last year, but in her acceptance speech she pointedly told the audience: ‘ love being a woman.’ 

Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.

Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again – real name Fred Gibson – are also up for album of the year, alongside The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.

Charli XCX, whose fifth studio album Crash topped the charts, and Florence and the Machine, whose album Dance Fever earned the singer her fourth UK number one, were notably absent.

Now, BRIT Award bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for its new gender-neutral prize. 

The coveted Song Of The Year With Mastercard category will see Aitch with Baby Ft Ashanti, Cat Burns with Go, Dave with Starlight, and Ed Sheeran And Elton John with their festive hit Merry Christmas battle it out.

Also nominated are Eliza Rose And Interplanetary Criminal with Baddest Of Them All, George Ezra with Green Green Grass and Harry Styles with As It Was.

Concluding the Song Of The Year nominations are Lewis Capaldi with Forget Me, Lf System with Afraid To Feel, and Sam Smith And Kim Petras with Unholy. 

Up for Group Of The Year are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Nova Twins and Wet Leg, while International Group Of The Year saw nods for Black Pink, Drake And 21 Savage, First Aid Kit, Fontaines Dc and Gabriels.

Speaking after their four nods, Wet Leg said: ‘Somebody hold our horses while we get to grips with this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to comprehend, we never could have expected for our wee band to achieve this.’

She is nominated against Bonobo, Calvin Harris, Eliza Rose and Fred Again.

Elsewhere, in the International Categories, Beyonce once again reigns supreme with two nods, alongside Taylor Swift and Lizzo.

Up for International Artist Of The Year are Beyonce, Burna Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Taylor Swift.
