The biggest stars in music descended on London's O2 Arena tonight for the 2015 Brit Awards, and by the looks of it, it's not just their musical talent they were keen to show off. We know that the ladies love to make a statement at the biggest night in British music, and this year it seems, it's all about the boobs.
The Brits would be nothing without a bit of controversy, and whilst it's the winners who usually make the headlines, Charlie XCX already had the ball rolling, flaunting her ample assets in a racy monochrome gown. Donning a floor-length Vivienne Westwood number with intricate bead detailing, the 22-year-old showed off a little bit too much of her Boom Clap, turning to the side to reveal some serious sideboob.
Held up only by some thin nude straps – which looked close to breaking point – we're surprised the backless dress didn't twist round and bare all. With her brunette locks were pulled back into a loose ponytail and some statement red lipstick, the look was far more low-key than some of her previous outfits, although certainly less demure.

But whilst Charlie XCX, real name Charlotte Emma Aitchison, managed to keep everything intact on the red carpet, we know we'll be watching through our hands if she has to take to the stage during the live-streamed awards. She's nominated in the Best British Video category for Boom Clap, but will have to beat off the likes of One Direction, Sam Smith and Ed Sheeran.
She's also up against pal, Rita Ora, nominated for her hit, I Will Never Let You Down, who also decided to flaunt her best assets. Donning a plunging gold jumpsuit with a dramatic sweeping train and matching glittery heels, the 24-year-old looked calm and confident as she made her way into the ceremony.
Accessorising with a sparkling ear cuff and multiple rings, she swept back her short blonde locks, showing off some dramatic smoky eye makeup. And whilst she may have been a mere few inches away from a major nip slip, she didn't let that hold her down, twirling her arms around and dancing as she walked down the red carpet.

Ellie Goulding also braved the bitter London chill without a bra, but thanks to her entirely see-through dress we could all tell that she hadn't forgotten her knickers. The Love Me Like You Do hitmaker smouldered down the lens in a floor-length white gown with floral detailing, but whilst it may have given everyone a glimpse at her amazing body, it wasn't exactly a showstopper.
With unflattering ruffles and an ill-fitting drop waist, we were less concerned about her cleavage, and more by the fact it looked she had stolen her Nan's net curtains. It wasn't all bad though, and with some simple Boucheron jewellery, her golden tresses loose and tousled, and a slick of nude gloss, the 28-year-old managed to stop the look from being a total disaster.
