THE biggest night of the British calendar has returned - and celebs are bringing the glamour on the red carpet.

“Radio presenter AJ Odudu was among the best dressed of the early arrivals,” celebrity fashion stylist, Omenaa Boakye tells The Sun.

“Her feathered red gown, paired with dramatic gold jewellery and stilettos echoed 60’s Motown glamour.”

Meanwhile, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer, 28, looked effortlessly elegant in a blue jumpsuit - with handy pockets - and peep-toe heels.

Her blonde hair had a 'wet dry' look while she wore light pink nails, simple jewellery, nude lipstick and a slight smokey eye. Jodie is up for the Leading Actress gong tonight.

Billie Piper, 38, went all out in a black dress with a huge pink bow, spanning from her shoulder to her opposite hip and trailing onto the floor.

With crimped hair and fierce make-up, she looked stunning despite revealing she was suffering from PMS on Instagram earlier in the day.
