Ellie Goulding stole the show as she posed up a storm on the red carpet at London’s O2 Arena for this year’s Brit Awards.
All eyes were on the 30-year-old singer, who arrived in a revealing black dress from Philipp Plein’s Pre-Fall 2017 collection. Not one to shy away from flashing some skin, Ellie broke the fashion rule and put both her legs and cleavage on display. The halter frock featured a cut-out bodice with silver chains across the bust, around the neck and down the back. It also boasted of a daring thigh-high slit at the center front, which allowed her to parade her legs.

The “Love Me Like You Do” hitmaker edged up the look with a few pieces of statement silver jewelry. She kept everything else simple, opting to sport minimal makeup while keeping her blonde tresses down in a relaxed tousled style.

Ellie did decide to cover up one unexpected part of her body: Her feet. The singer selected an interesting pair of black “Maureen” pumps from Malone Souliers to complete her look. These backless shoes are made of black suede material with silver leather straps and four-inch covered heels. They also feature an open back design with scalloped top lines and pointed toes.

Later that day, Ellie was spotted attending Universal Music’s Brit Awards after-party. She ditched her sexy gown in favor of a little black dress that hugged every inch of her curves. The sleeveless dress featured a low-cut neckline that showed off her cleavage, and an above-the-knee hemline that showed off her legs. The British singer rounded out her after-party look with a classic pair of black pumps.
