Abigail Clancy at Brit Awards 2008

I'm still not 100 per cent sure who Abigail Clancy is. From what I can gather, she was once a runner-up on Britain's Next Top Model and is now a WAG (girlfriend of English footballer Peter Crouch). I think that pretty much explains why I'm now seeing her in this... erm... sheath?! Grab some stretchy material, cut two holes out for your arms and a bigger one for your head and ladies, you've got yourself a hoisery style dress! Even on the off-chance that Abi wasn't aware her sheath was see-through, surely her underwear alone deserves a gentle rap across the knuckles. Honestly... it's the Brit Awards; there are children watching!

Brit Awards 2008 red carpet: Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield & Rihanna

While Kylie and the Girls Aloud ladies chose to show off some leg, Kelly Rowland, Natasha Bedingfield and Rihanna showed them how it's really done in their silver mini dresses at the 2008 Brit Awards last night.

It seemed like Kelly's silver feather mini dress was made just for her and kudos for her for going down the feathered path. Natasha chose to go with a silver shift dress featuring loads of embellishment making her really shine. I'd rather hoped she'd gone with a pair of brightly coloured shoes, instead of black which just seems to weigh her look down a little. But gorgeous dress nonetheless. Meanwhile Rihanna's silver strapless mini dress by Giambattista Valli shimmered against her gorgeous skin, and accessorised to perfection with perfectly coiffed hair.

Brit Awards 2008 red carpet: Kylie Minogue and Girls Aloud

The 2008 Brit Awards was held last night at Earls Court in London and for once a red carpet event was not full of dull coloured long gowns! For the Brit Award crowd it was all about showing off the legs in thigh high or mini length dresses. Well if you've got it, flaunt it.

Kylie Minogue wore a sparkly black strapless dress with a sweetheart neckline by Vicky Tiel which she contrasted with very cool heels and bright tangerine nails. Meanwhile, Girls Aloud provided support for bandmate, Cheryl Cole (nee Tweedy) as all four girls wore dresses that were cinched at the waist and showed off their pins. I wonder if it was a conscious thing to have the girls in black and white not standing next to each other? I love Nicola Roberts' red leopard print dress, but I don't understand why a bright pink clutch is the accessory de jour for the girls. Perhaps it's just a match-y match-y thing?

Check out the winner's list below.
