Harry Styles has arrived at the Brit Awards donning a black peplum blazer with an oversized flower choker necklace.

The British singer, 29, looked in good spirits as he went shirtless for the occasion, slipping into a pair of flared black trousers which matched his top half.

The velvet material of his blazer contrasted the silky oversized lapels which reached his shoulders.

With extra padding in his shoulders, Harry’s waist looked even more slender as the peplum at the bottom had a ruffle effect which widened on his sides.

The As It Was hitmaker wore a pair of black velvet trousers which flares out at the bottoms in a typical rocker style which Harry often opts for.

He slipped his feet into a pair of black leather shoes which were fairly hidden from underneath his flares.

But the main act of his outfit was the accessory of choice – his black necklace.

The huge black material flower hung from the thick black choker and sat on the side of his face.

He wore various gold rings on his hands and added a gold cross necklace to match. 

His arrival comes after winning big at the Grammys last week, which caused controversy with plenty of fans.

The 29-year-old singer picked up the award for his third solo album, Harry’s House, beating Beyoncé, who had been a frontrunner with her album, Renaissance. 

Harry, who was heckled by Beyonce’s fans when he scooped the gong, courted controversy with his speech after claiming ‘people like me’ don’t win Grammys – with fans pointing out that as a white, cisgender male, the opposite is in fact true.  

In the 65-year history of the Grammy Awards only 11 black artists have won Album Of The Year, and it hasn’t been awarded to a black woman since Lauryn Hill in 1999.

Meanwhile, Harry is the 33rd white man to accept the honour.

Mo Gilligan returns as The BRIT Awards host for the second year running, with the comedian saying he is ‘honoured’ to be back to celebrate the biggest night in British music. 

For the first time in the ceremony’s history, it takes place on a Saturday, broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. 

Harry Styles, Wet Leg, and Sam Smith lead this year’s nominations as the stars battle it out for the coveted awards.

All three will perform on the night, with Lizzo, Becky Hill, Cat Burns and Stormzy also storming the stage.

Music bosses have come under fire, however, when the shortlist was announced last month. 

In a surprise snub, female artists were shut out of the Artist Of The Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by scrapping its male and female-centric categories. 

The first gender-neutral award was handed to Adele last year, but in her acceptance speech she pointedly told the audience: ‘ love being a woman.’ 

Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.

Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again – real name Fred Gibson – are also up for album of the year, alongside The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.

Charli XCX, whose fifth studio album Crash topped the charts, and Florence and the Machine, whose album Dance Fever earned the singer her fourth UK number one, were notably absent.

Now, BRIT Award bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for its new gender-neutral prize.

Speaking after their four nods, Wet Leg said: ‘Somebody hold our horses while we get to grips with this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to comprehend, we never could have expected for our wee band to achieve this.’

Up for International Artist Of The Year are Beyonce, Burna Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Taylor Swift.
