BRIT Awards 2021: Arlo Parks cuts a stylish figure in a sharp maroon suit as she arrives for the music event where she’s nominated in THREE categories

She’s been nominated in three categories.

And Arlo Parks ensured to put on a stylish display as she arrived at The BRIT Awards 2021 at London‘s the 02 Arena on Tuesday.

The singer, 20, rocked a sharp red suit which boasted a checked pattern throughout the material and styled her statement ensemble with a smart white shirt.

Arlo posed up storm on the red carpet, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense in the bold blazer and matching wide-leg trouser set.

She accessorised her suit with a pair of chunky patent black boots and a selection of stunning jewellery, including a drop earring and several gold rings.

The beauty completed her look by donning a touch of eyeshadow and lipgloss to add some extra glamour.

Arlo is nominated in the Female Solo Artist and Breakthrough Artist category as well as the Mastercard Album group for her record Collapsed In Sunbeams.

She is also set to perform during the star-studded evening, with Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Griff and Rag’n’Bone Man also set to dazzle with their musical talents. 

The 2021 Brit Awards, hosted by Jack Whitehall, will mark the first major indoor music event in over a year as bosses released 2,500 free tickets to key workers. 

The Brit Awards are taking place in front of a live audience of 4,000 people at London‘s The O2 six days before the next phase of lockdown lifts. 

The ceremony, which will be broadcast live on ITV, will celebrate the return to live music and nominee Dua Lipa has promised those attending that it will ‘be a night to remember’.

The indoor ceremony and live show will form part of the Government’s scientific Events Research Programme, and it will use enhanced testing approaches to examine how events can take place without the need for social distancing after all restrictions are lifted on June 21. 

Working closely with the Government to adhere to safety guidelines, this means The BRITs, will be the first live music show at The O2 in over a year, with 4,000 tickets being up for grabs- just one fifth of the venue’s 20,000 capacity. 

The BRITs will play an important role in paving the way for the return of live music at scale as the UK emerges from the past year’s restrictions. 

Audience members will not be socially distanced or required to wear face coverings in the arena, but they will be required to follow existing Government guidance when travelling to the venue and adhere to rules set out by the event organisers.

Among the rules, attendees must have proof of a negative lateral flow test result to enter the venue. 

As part of the wider scientific research on the trial events, attendees will also be asked to take a test after the event to gather further evidence on the safety of indoor settings, reduced social distancing and the removal of non-pharmaceutical interventions like face coverings.
