As we await the Brit Awards 2020, we take a look back at some of the most memorable looks from the red carpet.

The Brit Awards return tonight, with performances from Stormzy, Lizzo and many others.

But the one element of the Brits we can't wait for is the red carpet, as music's most-loved dress to the nines for the award ceremony.

As we await the outfits tonight, we take a look back at some of the most iconic outfits we've seen on the Brit Awards red carpet over the years.

1997, Geri Halliwell

Spice Girl Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress has gone down in history as one of the most iconic looks ever – not just at the Brit Awards – after she wore it during their 1997 performance.

2001, Destiny's Child

Back when Beyonce, Michelle and Kelly coordinated their outfits, these memorable green ensembles graced the Brit Awards red carpet in 2001.

2010, Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga cemented herself as a very unique dressed at the 2010 Brit Awards, wowing fans with her lace body and huge wig for the evening.

2014, Clean Bandit

Clean Bandit's Grace Chatto stole the show at the 2014 Brit Awards when she accessorised her look with a bag full of water, and complete with two live fish called Dolce and Gabbana.

2018, Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa's pink puffy gown was iconic, and not an outfit we'll soon forget. But what will she be wearing this year?

1999, Cher

Cher's iconic silver bedazzled dress and matching head piece was all people could talk about at the 1999 award show.

2018, Holly Willoughby

Holly Willoughby has had some incredible red carpet outfits over the years, but this white suit dress has to be one of our all time favourites.

2015, Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift was all anyone could talk about at the 2015 Brit Awards after scoring multiple gongs and giving a unforgettable performance, and her dress was pretty spectacular as well.

2015, Kim Kardashian West

Kim Kardashian West was the last person anyone expected to see at the Brit Awards in 2015, but she sure made an entrance onto the stage in a body con black jumpsuit.

2018, Rita Ora

There are so many iconic Rita Ora ensembles from the Brit Awards, but this cream fluffy creation has to be the most dramatic, and of course, therefore our favourite.

2012, Adele

Adele looked like a Hollywood film star in her simple black gown for the 2012 Brits, where she gave her beautiful performance of Someone Like You.

2019, Little Mix

Little Mix know how to rock a red carpet, bit it was the girls' 2019 performing outfits we were obsessed with for months.

2002, Kylie Minogue

Kylie put on a sensual performance in 2002 on the Brits stage, dressed to the nines in a white corset dress and silver thigh-high boots.
