Dua Lipa and Ellie Goulding pulled out all the stops as they led the BRIT Awards 2024 performances at the 02 Arena on Saturday night.
Double nominee Dua, 28, opened the ceremony with her new song Training Season from her upcoming third studio album.
The singer looked incredible in an all-leather look as Ellie, 37, burst onto the stage just a week after announcing the end of her marriage.
Dua showed off her abs in a black bra which she paired with shorts, a biker jacket and heeled boots.
Flanked by a group of backing dancers, Dua appeared in her element as she worked the audience for presenters Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo.

Double nominee Dua, 28, opened the ceremony with her new song Training Season from her upcoming third studio album.
At one point, she was lifted up while her clan of dancers worked on the floor beneath her.
And it was a touching moment for Ellie as she also took to the stage after a turbulent few weeks.
The singer announced last week that her four-year marriage to Caspar Jopling, 31, was over after she was photographed flirting with handsome surf instructor Arrmando Perez.
But music was the sole focus for Ellie on Saturday night when she took the stage with Calvin Harris to perform Miracle, which won Best Song of the Year.
The singer surprised with a white bodysuit with ruffles and thigh-high tights that showed off her physique perfected in the gym.
The pair previously collaborated on dance-pop anthems ‘I Need Your Love’ in 2012 and ‘Outside’ in 2014.
A record 98 artists are nominated for the new BRIT Award 2024, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
Kylie will be honored with the Global Icon award and will close the show. The last time she performed her hit song Wow at the awards party was in 2008.
