Dua Lipa and Ellie Goulding gave their all as they headlined performances for the 2024 BRIT Awards at the 02 Arena on Saturday night.
Two-time nominee Dua, 28, opened the ceremony with her new song “Training Season” from her upcoming third studio album.
The singer looked incredible in her all-leather look while Ellie, 37, stormed 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 hot pants, a biker jacket and heeled boots.
Flanked by a group of background dancers, Dua was in her element as she worked the audience for hosts Maya Jama, Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo.

At one point she was knocked off her feet as her clan of dancers worked on the floor below her.
And it was a poignant moment for Ellie when she took the stage after a turbulent few weeks.
The singer announced last week that her four-year marriage to 31-year-old Caspar Jopling had ended after she was photographed befriending hunky surf instructor Arrmando Perez.
But on Saturday evening, music was all Ellie's focus as she took the stage with Calvin Harris to perform their hit “Miracle.”
The singer stunned in a white ruffled bodysuit and thigh-high leggings that showed off her gym-toned body.
The pair previously collaborated on dance-pop anthems “I Need Your Love” in 2012 and “Outside” in 2014.
A record 98 artists are applying for the new BRIT Awards 2024, designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
Kylie will be honored with the Global Icon award and will close the show. She last sang her hit “Wow” at the awards ceremony in 2008.

The pop queen has sold over 80 million records worldwide and has previously won three Brit Awards, receiving her first nomination in 1989.
After the announcement, she said: “I am overjoyed to be honored with the Global Icon Award and to be part of a roll call of such incredible artists.”
“Britain has always been a second home, so the British have a very special place in my heart.”
“I have some great memories of the awards ceremony over the years and can’t wait to be back on the Brits stage.”
The BRITs Icon is the awards' highest honor and is reserved for truly exceptional artists. Previous winners include Elton John, Robbie Williams, David Bowie and Taylor Swift.
Kylie will receive an award designed by British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones.
This came after Kylie won her first Grammy Award in 18 years by winning Best Pop Dance Recording at the 66th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles for her 2023 hit single “Padam Padam.”
