Another big trend on the Brit Awards red carpet last night was legs. Everywhere you turned there they were be it pale, tanned or covered in tights. Turning heads in her futuristic ensemble was Leona Lewis. The X Factor starlet took a risk in a silver asymmetrical minidress, which protruded at the shoulder, designed by London favourite William Tempest. The Sugababes formed a trio of legs in a series contrasting black-and-white short frocks. While Geri Halliwell, who represented Spice Girls in the winners pool, was like a bright white beacon in a sea of mostly black. [Images: Rex Features]

Without a doubt one of the biggest trends on the red carpet at last night's Brit Awards was of the dark variety. Leading the charge was Lily Allen, who dared to be different in a gothic-inspired Chanel gown, featuring an Oriental-style high-neck and waistband brooch detail. While Kylie Minogue, who missed out on a gong, got a little bit gypsy in a black Dolce & Gabbana long sheer dress which didn't really rock our world - sorry Kyles!
Other notable gothic appearances included Pixie Lott in a mini lacy frock designed by Kate Halfpenny, TV presenter Laura Whitmore's short bubble hem number and Alicia Keys who injected a bit of sparkle into the evening in a sharp-shouldered Balmain dress. [Images: Rex Features]

As was expected at last night's Brit Awards, Lady Gaga paid the ultimate tribute to her friend, Alexander McQueen, by dedicating her performance to the late designer. Considered McQueen's unofficial muse, the outlandish songstress made quite an impression on the red carpet donning a white layered-cake style gown, glittery mask and Marie Antoinette-inspired bouffant wig. In total, Gaga took home three awards.
"It's been tough, but I hope you enjoy it," she said of her performance, which was toned down because her initial plans were deemed too morbid. While, it was also reported that she turned her dressing room into a shrine for McQueen. See a video of her performance after the jump...

It was another coup for couturier Stéphane Rolland overnight. The designer scored big-time when Beyonce chose one of his latte-coloured zig-zag patterned gowns from his autumn/winter '09 collection. The dress stuck to the bootylicious diva in all the right places, and left very little to the imagination up top.
It has been a big year for both of these ladies, with young starlets Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus going head-to-head on the red carpet last night. In two very different looks, Taylor had heads turning when she stepped out in a floor-length off-the-shoulder sparkly gown. However, it seems folks were divided in their opinion of her gown with some Twitterers wondering whether the country star had been raiding the Avatar wardrobe department.
