The 2025 BRIT Awards took place on March 1 at the 02 Arena in London, and the event was filled with stunning fashion moments, including Charli XCX and Maura Higgins' naked dresses. Charli XCX, 32, wore a sheer black gown from Dilara Fındıkoğlu's fall 2025 collection, revealing black underwear and a nude corset underneath, while Maura Higgins attended the event in a structured see-through black dress, opting for a black thong and no bra.

Charli XCX's look was seemingly a nod to Fındıkoğlu's most recent collection, titled "Venus from Chaos," inspired by otherworldly monsters and goddesses. The singer-songwriter has been known for her bold fashion choices, and this look was no exception. She completed the look with black heels, a dark hood, and silver jewelry, and her hair was loose in long dark waves. Meanwhile, Maura Higgins' look was more subdued, with delicate floral accents artfully covering her chest, and she completed the look with black open-toed heels and gold earrings.

The annual star-studded affair recognizes successes in the music industry and introduces emerging talent. Attendees at this year's event included Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Shaboozey, Millie Bobby Brown, and more. Proceeds from the show go toward the British Phonographic Industry charitable branch, BRIT Trust, which focuses on improving lives through music and the creative arts. The event also featured a mystery guest, HorsegiirL, a Berlin-based DJ who wore an equine mask in public and kept her real identity and name as secret. She has previously described herself as 'half-horse, half-human' and has become increasingly well-known due to her viral track My Barns My Rules on TikTok.

HorsegiirL's appearance at the BRIT Awards was a topic of discussion on social media, with many viewers left baffled by her horse head mask and unconventional style. However, fans of the DJ took to social media to set the record straight on her talents, while praising whoever had sat the DJ next to Danny Dyer. The incident has sparked a conversation about the importance of individuality and self-expression in the music industry, and HorsegiirL's irreverent style has been hailed as a breath of fresh air in an industry that can take itself too seriously.

The 2025 BRIT Awards ceremony was hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event. The event featured a range of performances and award presentations, including Charli XCX's win for song of the year and artist of the year. The singer-songwriter has been credited with popularising the term "Brat summer" and has been named one of the most influential people in the music industry. Her win at the BRIT Awards is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her craft, and her confidence and individuality have inspired a generation of young musicians and fans.
