The stars have descended on the red carpet in Manchester tonight for the 2026 Brit Awards, with Harry Styles, Robbie Williams and the Osbournes and Maya Jama leading the charge.

All in all, the fashions leant heavily into black and white contrasts this year, with fewer pops of colour and craziness than years before.

Taking place for the first time outside London in its five-decade history, the biggest night in British music is being hosted by Jack Whitehall for a record-breaking sixth time.

The comedian rocked up looking sharp in a black suit alongside partner Roxy Horner in a white puffball mini-dress, just hours after nominee PinkPantheress pulled out of attending the event.

Failing to raise a smile for the occasion was Noel Gallagher, with the Oasis star posing, hands in pockets, in a dark green bomber jacket.

Gene Gallagher and Anais Gallagher were also in attendance too.

Man of the moment Harry Styles was snapped on the carpet looking a little more serious than usual in a dark pinstripe suit, paired with a light green shirt and vintage-print tie.

Meanwhile Robbie Williams was sharing the love, with kisses for both his wife Ayda Field and also Sharon Osbourne as he posed with her, Kelly and Ozzy’s other kids on the carpet.

His outfit of choice was a graphic-print black and white suit worn over his bare chest.

Robbie has been personally invited by Sharon to front an all-star rock tribute to the late Black Sabbath star during tonight’s show.

Bringing an injection of glamour to proceedings was Love Island presenter Maya Jama who opted for a white slinky floor-length gown which she paired with a furry white stole.

Bebe Rexha and Rose, meanwhile, appeared to have received the monochrome memo as well as they posed in elegant black dresses.
