The 2015 BRIT Awards took place in London Wednesday night with a host of stunning performances, a parade of jaw-dropping fashions, some memorable moments and a few missteps. Here’s a recap of the star-studded evening with the best red carpet looks, a list of winners and a few moments that stuck.
Taylor Swift opened the music awards show, hosted by TV personalities Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, at the O2 Arena in Peninsula Square with a performance of “Blank Space." The singer was dressed in a simple black blazer and fishnet leggings. Her backup dancers donned porkpie hats and white vests as Swift belted the lyrics to her mega hit song.
The most-talked-about moment from the British-music awards show was Madonna’s epic fall during a performance of “Living for Love.” The singer wore a long, flowing cape, which appeared to get caught on a backup dancer’s horned head piece. The queen of pop took a tumble down a short flight of stairs but later said she was “fine.”
American rapper Kanye West’s performance, complete with pyrotechnics, was a true show-stopper. He even got front-row music executives on their feet – albeit at his request. The singer’s wife, reality-TV star Kim Kardashian, also got some face time when she tried to take a selfie on stage with hosts McPartlin and Donnelly but failed because the phone was locked.
“Stay With Me” singer Sam Smith and singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran were the night’s top winners, scoring two trophies each at Britain’s most-anticipated music awards. Here’s a list of the night’s winners, courtesy of Rolling Stone:
