BBG News

On Saturday evening, Cruz Beckham and his companion, Jackie Apostel, were among the notable attendees who graced the Warner Music & Hennessy’s BRIT Awards post-party held at Claridge’s.

David and Victoria Beckham’s youngest child, who is 20 years old, sported an effortless style wearing a sleek black leather jacket paired with a crisp white shirt and tailored black pants.

He finished his look with a pair of suede boots and two stacked gold necklaces.

In the meantime, Jackie, aged 29, impressed with her stylish flair as she donned a navy pinstriped suit jacket and trousers, both in navy.

She teamed the look with a classic white button up shirt and a matching navy tie.

Her elegance was accentuated by a pair of sleek black court shoes, and she opted for a simple accessory style.

At the gathering, the happy couple struck poses for photographs, radiating joy, and later spent the evening socializing and celebrating.

Also spotted at the party was Emma Weymouth, Drew Michael and Louise Redknapp. 

Emma 38, turned heads in a plunging white sequin gown that flaunted her enviable figure. 

She added a feather shawl and accessorised with silver statement earrings.

Happy couple Drew and Louise looked more loved up than ever as they posed for cosy snaps together.

Additionally, Laura Whitmore, Layton Williams, and Charli Howard were spotted gracing the stage at a performance held in western London as well.

Laura, 39, turned heads in a bright yellow structured mini dress that flaunted her toned legs. 

She finished the look with a pair of gold block heels and a swipe of red lipstick.

In a striking brown velvet coordinated outfit, Layton, aged 30, looked amazing, whereas Charli, at 33, exuded heat in a sleek, fitted leather maxi dress.

As a lifestyle expert, I had the pleasure of attending the 2025 BRIT Awards, which were masterfully hosted by the hilarious Jack Whitehall for the fifth time. Previously, he graced our screens as the presenter in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021. What a treat it was to witness his wit and charm once again!

Once more, I found myself gracing the iconic stage of London’s O2 Arena for another dazzling event, where the coveted trophy of this year was masterfully crafted by the exceptionally gifted designer, Gabriel Moses.

The night featured massive performances from Ezra Collective and special guest Jorja Smith.

They became part of a lively roster of performers that also features Jade Thirlwall, Sabrina Carpenter, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party.

Charli XCX was originally set to perform but decided not to despite months of negotiations.

As per our reliable insider, the choice was made because she started concentrating more on getting ready for the recent Grammy Awards that happened earlier in March.

2025’s BRIT Awards saw the pop star take the lead with a total of five nominations, while Dua Lipa was not far behind, earning recognition in four different categories.

Ultimately, Charli’s sensational album BRAT cleaned up at the awards ceremony, winning every one of the five nominations it received.

As a lifestyle connoisseur, I’m thrilled to share that the exceptional British artist, now 33, saw a triumphant night at the awards ceremony this past summer. Their chart-topping album transformed into a cultural juggernaut, earning them accolades across multiple categories. They walked away with Best Album, Artist of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Dance Act, and Best Song Writing titles, each recognition a testament to their artistic prowess and enduring impact on our musical landscape.

Charli’s remarkable achievement this time around echoed Raye’s historic win from last year’s event, where the 27-year-old claimed a record-breaking six awards.

Last summer, she left an indelible mark in history as her top-charting album, Brat, transformed into a cultural sensation and was accompanied by the trendy color, slime green. Millions of fans displayed their enthusiasm for Charli by sharing videos of her Apple Dance on TikTok.

At 29 years old, Dua has been nominated in several categories alongside Charli for Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, Pop Act, and Album of the Year. Her hits “Training Season” and “Radical Optimism” are her contenders in these respective categories.

35-year-old American sensation Taylor Swift competed alongside Billie Eilish, Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and others in the International Artist of the Year category, as well as vying for the International Song of the Year award.

At the BRIT awards, Sabrina clinched her first win by receiving the prestigious Global Success Award, which was given to her by the talented actress Millie Bobby Brown, who is just 21 years old.

The American singer playfully expressed gratitude to her UK fans, commenting that, given their penchant for tea, they had exceptionally streamed her chart-topping song “Espresso” to pieces.

Despite the song being a strong contender, it was Chappell Roan who took home the award for Best International Song of the Year with her hit “Good Luck, Babe.

27-year-old artist who sings “Hot to Go” was subsequently successful in outperforming artists like Beyoncé and Billie Eilish, earning the title of Best International Artist.

For the very first time, the titles for five genres of music – Alternative Rock Group, Dance Act, Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Group, Pop Artist, and R&B Artist – were decided solely by a public poll held on WhatsApp.

Sam Fender was announced as the winner for Alternative Rock Act for a second time.

He has now earned his third BRIT award, having previously won the Rising Star (formerly known as Critics’ Choice) in 2019 and the Alternative Rock category in 2022.

In his acceptance speech, he quipped, “You can see I’m quite anxious; I wasn’t nearly as tipsy as my last appearance.

I’d like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our fans, truly, they are the greatest in the world! And to everyone watching from Newcastle, know that we love you deeply.

‘Huge thanks to my band. Without them, I’m just a mad person shouting at the walls. Love yous all.’

In an unexpected turn of events, Jade Thirwall, aged 32, surpassed The Brat in the competition, earning herself the title of Best Pop Act. This marked the first solo Brit Award for the ex-member of Little Mix.

In a heartfelt expression of gratitude, Jade acknowledged the appreciation due to Jordan Stephens, her loving partner, as well as Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, whom she affectionately refers to as her bandmates in Little Mix.

Expressing heartfelt appreciation, she declared, “You mean the world to me! I couldn’t have received this award without your support. Each of you has significantly impacted my life, and I am deeply thankful.

This year’s awards showcased a strong presence of British rap, thanks to the global success of artists like Central Cee, Stormzy, and Dave.

Central Cee received recognition across multiple categories, including Song of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Best Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act.

As a die-hard admirer of music, especially Hip Hop/Grime/Rap, I can’t help but shout out my excitement! Stormzy, my favorite artist in this genre, has done it again! He claimed his fourth BRIT Award, and the Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act title, while donning a cool pair of shades on stage. Absolutely incredible!

He expressed that he believes Central Cee was the top rap artist of the year, yet he’s incredibly thankful. This moment, where he’s winning an award, is absolutely hilarious for him.

‘I’m wearing shades because I’ve got a bruised cornea, I mashed my eye playing paddle.’

The jazz quintet Ezra Collective, who received the Mercury Prize in 2023, garnered four nominations in categories such as Best New Artist, Group of the Year, Alternative Rock Act, and Album of the Year for their album Dance, No One’s Watching.

In these awards categories, they faced stiff competition primarily from The Last Dinner Party, who were nominated for Best New Artist, Group of the Year, Alternative Rock Act, and Album of the Year as well.

After their previous performance that same night, The Last Dinner Party, winners of the 2024 Rising Star Awards, were honored with the highly esteemed title of Best New Artist.

Taking to the stage the fans gushed: ‘This is truly the biggest honour of our lives!’.

Ezra Collective were crowned as the Group of the Year, and they concluded the event with a captivating performance.
