BRITs 2020: Anne-Marie wears dress with GIANT bow train


She offered fans a glimpse into her glam squad preparations earlier in the day.

And Anne-Marie certainly didn’t disappoint when she graced the red carpet at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday night for the BRIT Awards 2020.

The 28-year-old singer looked incredible in a pink silk dress, which boasted an oversized bow-shaped train.

Anne-Marie ensured she worked her best angles as she posed in her dramatic dress, ensuring the large, cartoon style bow took centre stage.

The thigh-skimming frock featured an off-the-shoulders cut and was teamed with princess style gloves, looking like she’d just stepped out of a fairy tale.

Twee purple ribbons were pinned onto the corset style bodice and the underside of the bow was a matching shade of lilac. 

She completed her Disney-tastic attire with a pair of towering metallic heels, adding some extra height.

She embraced the wet-look trend by slicking down her bubblegum pink bob. 

Earlier in the evening, Anne-Marie went from barefaced to bombshell as she shared a fun video of her glamorous ‘glow up’ ahead of the ceremony.

The star began her TikTok video looking au naturel and gorgeous with her pink tresses left loose.

She gazed into the camera with a perplexed expression while the Cinderella song, Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo, played. 

The 2002 hitmaker then held her hand over the camera for a couple of seconds and when she pulled it away, her face was left glammed up ready for the big event.  

The music switched from the fun Disney tune to a rap song, no doubt getting the pop queen in the mood for the night.

Last year, the star was nominated for four BRIT Awards after catapulting into the music scene. 

However, this year there are no female performers included in the shortlists for best group or album awards, although English singer Mabel, 23, has been nominated for three awards.

Someone You Loved hitmaker Lewis Capaldi will go head to head with Funky Friday rapper Dave, 21, as they battle for Best Male Solo Artist.

The duo will also take on one another in the Mastercard Album of the Year category, with Lewis pitting his Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent work against Dave’s Psychodrama

They face stiff competition from Stormzy’s new release Heavy Is The Head, Michael Kiwanuka’s self-titled LP and Harry Styles’ album, Fine Line. 

Dave is again nominated in the Song of the Year category for Location (ft. Burna Boy), going head to head with AJ Tracey’s Ladbroke Grove, Calvin Harris & Rag’N’Bone Man’s Giant, Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s I Don’t Care and Lewis’s Someone You Loved.

Also nominated is Mark Ronson’s Nothing Breaks Like a Heart (ft. Miley Cyrus), Stormzy’s Vossi Bop, Sam Smith and Normani’s Dancing With a Stranger, Tom Walker’s Just You and I and Mabel’s Don’t Call Me Up.

Song of the Year is just one of three nods for Mabel, who is also nominated in the Best New Artist category alongside Aitch, Dave, Lewis Capaldi, and Sam Fender as well as Best Female Solo Artist alongside Charli XCX, FKA Twigs, Freya Ridings and Mahalia. 

Bastille, Bring Me The Horizon, Coldplay, D-Block Europe and Foals will go head to head at the ceremony for Best Group.

Taking it international, Bruce Springsteen, Burna Boy, Tyler, The Creator, Dermot Kennedy and Post Malone have received nods for International Male Solo Artist.

No Tears Left to Cry singer Ariana Grande, 26, will fight it out against Billie and Lizzo, as well as Camila Cabello and Lana Del Rey to be named best International Female Solo Artist.

The lack of nominations in for female artists comes despite a major overhaul of the Brits’ voting academy in 2017 to make it more gender balanced and diverse, with hundreds of new members invited to join the pool.

The awards are voted for by around 1,500 people from across the UK music industry including journalists, record label employees and musicians.

The rising star winner was announced as Celeste late last year, while the producer of the year will be announced at a later date.

The international group and video categories have been axed by organisers this year.
