Alexandra Burke Wins Brit Award


Well, she didn't. But she should have. For Best Dressed. The 2008 X-Factor winner showed up to the Brit Awards last night at the O2 looking like an African queen. Donning a midnight blue gown with a tribal styled mahogany shoulder-piece. Stunning to say the least Burketron.


Rihanna of course rocked the NEARSHAN (Nation for all those who do not speak Barbadian), in a stunning embellished gold Givenchy frock. Label-mate, look-alike and current number 1 in the UK singer Rita Ora donned a similar gown only in white.


Caroline Flack was another favourite in navy high-waisted shorts, matching navy blazer, a white shirt and a metallic silver necklace. New-comer and Brit Award winner Lana Del Ray also deserves a mention in her 1950s inspired cherry red Vivienne Westwood gown. Born to turn heads Lana.


Meanwhile GQ's Best Dressed Man of the Year Mr Tinie Tempah looked...dare I say beautiful. Ivory cropped trousers, a dark contrasting blazer, scoop-neck t-shirt, a navy scarf and brown suede loafers. Just what every modern man should utilise for the upcoming Spring months. Dave Berry also impressed in a tweed blazer, matching waistcoat, navy pocket square and a pair of black trousers. Whilst Olly Murs donned H&M in a white blazer black trouser suit combo complete with an interesting cravat.


Surprisingly One Direction also brought it on the style front. Louis, Liam, Zayn, Harry and Niall (yes even Niall managed to do something right for once) looked dapper all suited and booted. Its a shame Ashton, Oriste, JB and Marvin, who are quite a few years older, can't seem to find their feet on the men's fashion front. Take notes lads. They are needed.


JLS weren't the only act failing on the Red Carpet. Fellow X-Factor chums Cher Lloyd, Marcus Collins and even Little Mix looked ridiculous. Cher in a purple metallic jumpsuit. Marcus sported a bright yellow vest. Peri looked about 25 years older and its a no no to the union jack heels. The rest of her band-mates looked like a bad episode of Sesame Street. As for Spice Girl Emma Bunton...did we not learn anything from Fergie's Grammy mistake? I wouldn't even want to be your glove-box let alone your lover in that get-up Emma B.


Then there was Ed Sheeran who deserves a paragraph all to himself for wearing his trademark branded t-shirt, friendship bracelets, awkward jeans and casual trainers before someone finally made him put on a bloody suit. Its only the Brits Ed...don't make too much of an effort please. Don't want you straining something. Hair still needed a dire combing though. If I tried to cross a bridge with a few goats there is a massive possibility Ed Sheeran will be underneath attempting to stop me. Nuff said.
