The Brit Awards 2009 - Kylie Minogue, James Corden and Matthew Horne
Kylie Minogue, James Corden and Matthew Horne made an uneasy presenting trio. We\'re not sure if Kylie really got the Gavin and Stacey boys\' antics. Kylie, who managed to fit six outfit changes into the evening, was looking a little plasticy in the face - sparking fresh rumours that the pop princess has been over doing it with the Botox injections.

The Brit Awards 2009 Girls Aloud
In ruffled and bejewelled silks and satins - and even a Beyonce-style fishtail - Girls Aloud went for all-out, high-octane glamour for their big night. St Tropez had also been doing brisk business with the popstrels, all except for Nicola that is - orange, orange, orange, ghostly pale, orange...

Estelle, the wicked witch of disgustingly shiny, weirdly embellished and mutantly shoulder-padded garments called, and she wants her dress, no...thing back. We think you should give it to her, and quickly.

The Brit Awards 2009 The Ting Tings
The Ting Tings are just cool and Katie White\'s acid ‘80s brights and sexily dishevelled ‘do are just that. We\'re quite taken with Jules De Martino\'s navy silk blazer too - a very pretty pair indeed.

The Brit Awards 2009 - Girls Aloud
Our favourite performance of the evening came from Girls Aloud who sang The Promise amid a flurry of feathers and hot men. Earlier in the evening the group announced that they hoped to be able to perform at Jade Goody\'s wedding. "We are desperately trying to rearrange our schedule so we can do it. It\'s a very sad thing to have to discuss," said Sarah Harding speaking the The Daily Star.

The Brit Awards 2009 PIxie Geldof
Oh Pixie - we can sort of see the look you were going for here, a kind of romantic goth meets sexy pirate look, if only you hadn\'t borrowed the shirt off someone with a severe lop-sided hump-back. Now you look like you\'re styling yourself as The Great Caped Socialite Girl, the superhero for the elite London party chick. Hmmm...

The Brit Awards 2009 - Duffy
Queen of the Brits, Duffy, bagged three awards including Best British Female and Best Breakthrough Act. Thankfully her speeches improved as the evening wore on, culminating in a teary acceptance speech for Best British Album which saw award presenter and national treasure Tom Jones proudly looking on at his Welsh compatriot.

The Brit Awards 2009 Katy Perry
Katy Perry\'s red carpet checklist simply reads ‘wacky\' - so she can give herself a big fat tick for this little number which puts us in mind of a military-style Miss America with a Hello Kitty brooch fetish.

The Brit Awards 2009 - Coldplay
Poor Coldplay, who were nominated for four Brits, gave a fun-filled performance of Viva La Vida (where can we get some of that lovely butterfly confetti?) only to lose out on every single award. The band, who by the way totally need to get themselves some new outfits, were later spotted performing at the War Child charity show at Shepherd\'s Bush Empire along with U2 and The Killers. "It was a sh** night." laughed Chris Martin backstage at the Empire, "We lost all the Brits, but it\'s got much better now".

The Brit Awards 2009 Alexa Chung
Sky-high hemlines made a strong appearance on the red carpet at this year\'s Brits and style favourite Alexa Chung was leading the charge in her thigh-skimming, super-cute sequinned number. The glittering frock was definitely a hit but would it really have been too much trouble to give those shoes a lick of polish?

The Brit Awards 2009 - Ting Tings Vs Estelle
Although the Ting Tings looked a little sad when they missed out on the award for Best British Album, the duo gave one the best performances of the night. Singer Katie White looked awesome as she strutted around the stage alongside Estelle for their mash-up/duet of We Started Nothing and American Boy.

BAFTAS.
P.S. Loving the lippy.

The Brit Awards 2009 - Take That
There was mass excitement and huge expectations from the crowd as Take That appeared hovering above the stage in a giant UFO. Rumours were abound that former band-mate Robbie Williams would return for a one-off performance with Take That, but sadly the world was left disappointed as both Robbie and the live vocals failed to materialise. Miming Gary? We expected more.

The Brit Awards 2009 - The Hoff
The award for Best Award Presenter goes to The Hoff! David Hasselhoff delivered a smooth performance as he handed Elbow the Brit for Best British Group. An awkward live-TV moment followed soon after though, as Elbow\'s lead singer Guy Garvey asked The Hoff if he fancied joining them for a drink later. Obviously Guy didn\'t realise that David has been battling with the demon drink for sometime now. We hope he wasn\'t to upset when David somewhat shamefacedly turned them down with a brisk, "I\'ll leave that to you."

Alexandra Burke at the Brit Awards 2009
Our X Factor winner Alexandra Burke is still a novice in negotiating the ways in which a stylist can trip you up on the red carpet, so we almost forgive her for this little number. Almost.

Girls Aloud later picked up the award for Best British Single for The Promise which pleased the girls no end. Sarah Harding, who was ridiculously over-excited screamed, "Can I just say, it\'s about time! I think I\'ve just wet myself there..." down the microphone. Cheryl Cole managed a more demure response saying, "This is the cherry on the cake. Have a nice night!"

The Brit Awards 2009 Fearne Cotton
We wouldn\'t have expected anything less than gorgeous from Fearne Cotton and she didn\'t disappoint here looking like a one-woman style guide in how to nail an on-trend rock-chic look - the navy silk spot blazer is the style of the season with it\'s subtle ‘80s flair, the clutch cute and the studded heels hot.
We do have one question though - has Fearne Cotton been swotting up on big hair tips from Cheryl Cole?

The Brit Awards 2009 - Pet Shop Boys, Brandon Flowers & Lady GaGa
The Pet Shop Boys were awarded the Outstanding Contribution To Music by long-time fan Brandon Flowers (The Killers), who we now have a tiny crush on thanks to his obvious enjoyment in performing alongside his heroes for their celebratory medley. Also joining The Pet Shop Boys on stage was Lady GaGa who appeared to be wearing some kind of Delft Pottery outfit. Nice elbow pads GaGa.
Is Lady GaGa a diva?

Alex James, who was there to present the award for Best Breakthrough Act, really needs to stop eating all that cheese he keeps making. His shirts are beginning to buckle under the pressure of that little pot belly he\'s nurturing.

The Brit Awards 2009 - Kings Of Leon
Kings Of Leon were uncharacteristically chatty as they picked up their two awards, Best International Group and Best International Album for Only By The Night. "I don\'t normally talk, it\'s not my thing," said lead singer Caleb Followill as that band collected their second award of the evening, "we have to give this to England. If it weren\'t for England, Kings of Leon wouldn\'t be a band right now."
