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

At one point she was lifted off her feet as her clan of dancers worked the floor below her.
And it was a poignant moment for Ellie as she also hit the stage after a turbulent few weeks.
The singer announced last week her four-year marriage to Caspar Jopling, 31, had ended after she was pictured cosying up to hunky surf instructor Arrmando Perez.
But music was solely the focus for Ellie on Saturday night as she took to the stage with Calvin Harris to perform their hit Miracle.
The songstress stunned in a white ruffled bodysuit and thigh-high leggings which showed off her gym-honed physique.
The pair previously collaborated on the dance-pop anthems ‘I Need Your Love’ in 2012 and ‘Outside’ in 2014.
A record 98 artists are up for the new 2024 BRIT award, which has been designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
Kylie is set to be honoured with the Global Icon accolade and will close the show. She last performed her hit Wow at the prize-giving bash in 2008.

‘The UK has always been a home from home so the Brits have a very special place in my heart.
‘I have some amazing memories from the awards over the years and I can’t wait to be back on the Brits stage.’
