Jade Thirlwall packed on the PDA with boyfriend Jordan Stephens as she celebrated winning her first solo BRIT Award at Sony’s afterparty at London’s Nobu H๏τel on Friday evening.
The former Little Mix star, 32, who beat the likes of Charli XCX to be crowned Best Pop Act at the ceremony earlier in the evening, couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.
Jade, who also performed on stage at the O2 Arena cermeony, looked sensational as she slipped into a satin leggy mini dress for the star-studded bash.
She completed the look with knee-high leather boots and matching opera loves as she shared a sweet kiss with Rizzle Kicks star Jordan, 33.
Her proud partner was also dressed to impress in a plaid suit which he layered with an eye-catching wool coat.
Jade quickly went viral for her chaotic BRITs acceptance after she struggled to climb the stairs to the stage and hiding her speech in the front of her dress.

The former Little Mix star, 32, who beat the likes of Charli XCX to be crowned Best Pop Act at the ceremony earlier in the evening, couldn’t wipe the smile off her face
As her name was read out, the singer gasped in shock and excitedly made her way to the stage, but was hampered by the huge train and skirt of her denim wedding dress.
She struggled to climb the stairs onto the stage and needed a helping hand from the presenters The Sugababes after becoming stuck.
Beginning her acceptance speech, Jade proceeded to reach into her dress and pull out a folded piece of paper from her cleavage.
She explained: ‘Oh my God! This is my first solo BRIT Award! I can’t cry because I’ve got to sing later, but I did do a little piece of paper in case I won the award. I know it’s cringe but I knew I’d forget people. I’m flustered.’
She went on to thank her fans and loved ones for helping her get so far, saying: ‘I need to thank the fans because that’s why I’ve won.
‘Thank you for supporting me and relentlessly forcing everyone around you to vote for me, I really appreciate it.
‘I want to thank my fabulous team around me, because it really does take a determined village to make a good pop act.
‘My partner Jordan, my mum, dad, my brother and all my family and friends for always believing in me.

‘Thank you for making me thing it was a realistic goal to be a pop star ever since I was a little girl.’
Jade then paid a sweet tribute to her former Little Mix bandmates, Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, saying they ‘changed her life’.
Becoming emotional, she gushed: ‘And finally my Little Mix sisters, I love you so much. I wouldn’t have this award without them. They changed my life and I am so grateful.’

The 2025 BRIT Awards ceremony 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 night featured mᴀssive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.
They joined an exciting lineup of acts including Jade, 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.
