Maya Jama looked the picture of elegance as she arrived at the BRIT Awards at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday night for the annual music ceremony.

The Love Island host, 30, cut a glam figure in a black strapless dress which hugged her phenomenal figure as she posed up a storm on the red carpet.

Maya boosted her statuesque frame with a pair of black stilettos with a diamond necklace, wearing her glossy raven locks loose.

The TV personality enhanced her pretty features with soft make-up and flashed a beaming white smile for the camera.

The BRITs was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The star-studded event took place once again at London’s O2 Arena with the trophy this year designed by the talented Gabriel Moses.

The night featured mᴀssive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

They joined an exciting lineup of acts including Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party. 

Charli XCX was originally set to perform but decided not to despite months of negotiations.

According to a close source, the decision comes as she shifted her focus toward preparing for the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month.

The pop singer led the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who had been recognised in four categories. 

In the end, Charli’s smash hit album BRAT swept the board and took home all of the five awards she was nominated for. 

The British singer, 32, whose No1 album became a cultural phenomenon last summer, took home Best Album, Artist of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Dance Act and Best Song Writing.

Charli’s incredible sweep mirrored Raye’s own triumph at last year’s ceremony which saw the 27-year-old made history after scooping a record breaking six gongs.

She made history when her No1 album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last summer along with the colour slime green as millions of fans showed their support by posting clips of Charli’s Apple Dance on TikTok.

Dua, 29, who is already the recipient of seven BRITs, went head-to-head against Charli for Song Of The Year with hit Training Season, Artist Of The Year, Pop Act, and Album Of The Year with Radical Optimism.

US superstar Taylor Swift, 35, battled it out with Billie Eilish in the International Artist Of The Year category, which also featured Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan, as well as for the International Song Of The Year accolade.

Sabrina landed her first BRIT when she scooped the special Global Success Award, presented by Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 21.

Thanking her UK fans American singer quipped that a ‘predominantly tea drinking country’ had ‘streamed the s***’ out of her smash hit track Espresso.

However the banger was pipped to the post for Best International Song Of The Year to Chappell Roan for her own catchy tune Good Luck, Babe.

The H๏τ TO GO singer, 27, later went on to beat the likes of Beyoncé and Billie Eilish to win Best International Artist.

The winners of five genre awards – Alternative/Rock Act, Dance Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act, Pop Act, R&B Act – were determined by a public vote exclusively through WhatsApp for the first time ever.

Sam Fender was announced as the winner for Alternative Rock Act for a second time.

It marks his third BRIT after winning the Rising Star Award (previously Critics’ Choice Award) in 2019 and Alternative Rock Act in 2022.

Accepting the award, he joked: ‘As you can tell I’m a little bit nervous, I’m nowhere near as drunk as last time.’

‘Mᴀssive thanks to the fans, we’ve got the best fans in the world. To everybody at home in Newcastle – love you.

‘Huge thanks to my band. Without them, I’m just a mad person shouting at the walls. Love yous all.’

Meanwhile in a shock to some, Jade Thirwall, 32, beat the Brat singer to be crowned Best Pop Act, making it the former Little Mix star’s first solo Brit.

In her own heartfelt speech, Jade thanked boyfriend Jordan Stephens and her ‘Little Mix sisters’ Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock.

Gushing over her former bandmates she said: ‘I love you so much. I wouldn’t have this award without them. They changed my life and I am so grateful’. 

Thanks to globally successful artists Central Cee, Stormzy, and Dave, British rap was well represented at this year’s awards.

Central Cee earned nods in the Song Of The Year category as well as Artist Of The Year, and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act. 

Stormzy won his fourth BRIT after scooping the Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act as he took to the stage wearing shades. 

He said: ‘I think Central Cee was the best rap artist of year, but I am very grateful. This is a mad funny time for me to win an award.

‘I’m wearing shades because I’ve got a bruised cornea, I mashed my eye playing paddle.’

The jazz quintet Ezra Collective, who won the Mercury prize in 2023, landed four nominations for Best New Artist, Group Of The Year, Alternative Rock Act and Album Of The Year for their body of work Dance, No One’s Watching.

Their biggest compeтιтion came from The Last Dinner Party who were also up for Best New Artist, Group Of The Year, Alternative Rock Act and Album Of The Year.

Following their own performance earlier in the evening, 2024 Rising Star Awards winners The Last Dinner Party won the much coveted Best New Artist.

Taking to the stage the fans gushed: ‘This is truly the biggest honour of our lives!’.

Ezra Collective were named the Group of the Year, and closed out the ceremony with their performance.
