Charli XCX's outfit at the Brit Awards garners backlash from many: Details explored

According to a report by the Daily Mail dated March 10, 2025, Ofcom received over 800 complaints over the Brit Awards held on March 1, 2025, owing to Sabrina Carpenter's performance and Charli XCX's outfit at the event.

Charli sported a see-through black dress at the event, which garnered a lot of backlash. The singer won 'Artist of the Year' among other categories at the Brit Awards and addressed the negative comments concerning her dress during her acceptance speech. Charli XCX mentioned in her speech:

"I heard that ITV were complaining about my ni**les. I feel like we're in the era of 'free the ni**le' though, right? They put the clap track on, cool. Thanks for being on my side."

Charli has often been seen wearing distinctive fashion pieces. During an interview with ELLE Magazine in October 2023, she became the first cover star of 'Stories on Zalando,' a newly launched fashion platform.

At the time, the singer put forth her perspective on personal style and mentioned:

"I like to express the way I feel through my clothes, but also, it’s not that big of a deal. I am who I am, whether I’m wearing a floor-length dress on a red carpet or some skimpy, tiny skirt."

In addition to her Brit Awards ensemble, Charli XCX's style at the Paris Fashion Week also made it to the tabloids. The Speed Drive singer sported a shimmering black gown paired with a leather jacket while attending the Yves Saint Laurent show on March 11, 2025.
