Is this the BRIT Awards’ sexiest opening efficiency ever? Fans go wild as Sabrina Carpenter turns up the warmth in glittering crimson lingerie

Sabrina Carpenter turned up the heat in what could be the BRIT Awards sexiest opener ever on Saturday night.

The 25-year-old singer stripped down to glittering red lingerie and fishnet stockings to put on a very racy performance of her hit songs Espresso and Bed Chem mixed with Rule Britannia.

From dancing around on a giant pink bed to larking around with backup dancers dressed as the King’s Guards, Sabrina certainly didn’t hold back with her risqué performance.

The blonde beauty swapped her elegant red carpet dress for the busty two-piece ensemble to showed off her incredible figure.

She also slipped into a King’s Guard outfit of her own to put a cheeky British twist on her popular tunes.

And viewers were loving the sensual performance and innuendos as they rushed to X to praise the American popstar.

‘Sabrina doing Bed Chem at the Brits was not on my bingo card omg she looks incredible and her voice #BRITs2025.’

It comes after earlier in the evening, Sabrina wowed as she put on a very busty display in a ruffled pink dress on the red carpet.

The singer looked nothing short of sensational as she graced the star-studded event in the gown, which boasted a plunging neckline and silver sequin details.

Her figure-hugging ensemble clung to her curves and showcased her incredible figure, before flowing out into a short train.

Sabrina accessorised with a sparkling silver choker necklace and an array of matching rings.

The Espresso hitmaker wore her long blonde tresses in a voluminous curly style and opted for her signature glowing palette of makeup.

She seemed to be in high spirits as she posed up a storm on the red carpet, ahead of her performance inside the star-studded venue.

As well as performing for the A-list crowd, Sabrina is set to take home the BRITs Global Success award.

The prestigious award has previously been presented to One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Adele and Sam Smith.

The BRITs Global Success award identifies an artist with phenomenal global sales and Sabrina becomes the first international artist to receive it following a decision by the BRITs Committee to open the award up to overseas artists.

Her win is in recognition of a truly incredible year in which she dominated global charts, including holding the #1 position in the Official UK Charts for a combined 21 weeks in 2024, the first artist to do so in 71 years.

On the Official UK Singles Chart, she became the first female artist ever to simultaneously occupy the top three spots with Taste, Please Please Please and “Espresso”.

In the US, she is the first artist to have their first three top five hits in the top five simultaneously since The Beatles achieved this 60 years ago.

The pop princess is also nominated in the International Artist Of The Year category and the International Song Of The Year for Espresso.

The BRIT Awards ceremony is hosted by comedian Jack Whitehall, marking his fifth time at the helm of the event, after having previously presented the show in 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.

The star-studded event is taking place once again at London’s O2 Arena with the trophy this year designed by the talented Gabriel Moses.

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

They have joined an exciting lineup of already announced acts including Jade Thirlwall, Sam Fender, Lola Young, Teddy Swims, and The Last Dinner Party.

Charli XCX will no longer be performing at the ceremony despite months of negotiations.

According to a close source, the decision comes as she shifted her focus toward preparing for the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month.

The pop singer leads the 2025 BRIT Awards nominations with five nods, closely followed by Dua Lipa who has been recognised in four categories.

It was recently announced that Charli will receive the coveted Songwriter Of The Year prize.

The star, 32, made history when her No1 album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last summer along with the colour slime green as millions of fans showed their support by posting clips of Charli’s Apple Dance on TikTok.

And now her Brat summer lives on as Charli has received nominations in five prestigious categories including Song Of The Year for Guess ft. Billie Eilish, Artist Of The Year, Dance Act, Pop Act, and the sought-after Album Of The Year.

Dua, 29, who is already the recipient of seven BRITs, has been awarded another four nods as she goes head-to-head against Charli for Song Of The Year with hit Training Season, Artist Of The Year, Pop Act, and Album Of The Year with Radical Optimism.
