Wet Leg’s Rhian Teasdale arrives on the BRIT Awards with bloodied knees as she makes a weird crimson carpet look

Rhian Teasdale raised eyebrows on the BRIT Awards red carpet as she arrived to the ceremony with bloodied knees on Saturday evening.

The Wet Leg star, 32, turned up to the Co-op Live in Manchester wearing a beige printed mini skirt and a cream faux fur shawl.

But it was the singer’s legs that drew attention as her knees appeared to be covered in blood. 

Rhian added height to her frame with a pair of white boots and added to her outfit with animal print gloves.

The singer wore her pink and yellow dyed locks in a poker straight stye and completed her look with a handbag.

She posed on the red carpet alongside her bandmates Hester Chambers, Henry Holmes, Josh Mobaraki and Ellis Durand. 

The band, who formed in the Isle of Wight in 2019, were nominated for Group of the Year – which was won by Wolf Alice – and Alternative/Rock Act – which was won by Sam Fender. 

The 46th edition of the BRIT Awards took place at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena for the first time on Saturday. 

Since removing gendered categories, such as Best Male and Best Female, the ceremony has faced backlash for the low number of female artists nominated, particularly in 2023 when the Artist Of The Year shortlist was entirely male. 

But 2026 rung in the changes, with 70 percent of this year’s nominations being female or non-binary.

Olivia Dean swept the floor as she took home four awards – winning in every category she was nominated for.

The British singer and songwriter, 26, won Best Artist, Best Album, Best Song and Best Pop Act.

In the Song of the Year category Olivia was nominated for two, for her single Man I Need, as well as her song Rein Me In with Sam Fender – which won.

Olivia, 26, became the first woman to claim the UK’s No 1 single and album in the same week since Adele in 2021, with her song Man I Need and album The Art Of Loving, both released in 2025. 

It was a completely different night for Lily Allen who didn’t take home any awards.

While she dominated the charts last year with the release of her fifth studio album West End Girl, Lily Allen failed to beat Miss Dean in categories Artist of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Pop Act categories.

The singer, 40, used the album to chronicle the collapse of her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour, 50, and detailed his alleged affair with ‘Madeline’ whilst they were together.

Despite being nominated eight times previously, the Not Fair hitmaker has only ever won one BRIT award and did not attend this year’s ceremony. 

Manchester born Noel Gallagher, 58, was honoured with this year’s Songwriter of the Year award, after he reunited with his brother Liam for their mammoth Oasis reunion tour. 

Sharon Osbourne, 73, took to the stage to accept an award on behalf of her late husband Ozzy Osbourne, who was honoured with the BRITs Lifetime Achievement Award. 

Lola Dean, 24, who was nominated for five awards, took home the award from breakthrough artist after a turbulent few months.

British rapper Dave, 27, won in the Hip Hop category off the back of releasing his third studio album, The Boy Who Played The Harp, at the end of last year.

British producer and DJ Fred Again, real name Fred Gibson, Skepta and PlaqueBoyMax took home the Dance award, while Sam Fender triumphed in the Best Rock category.

Ten-time Grammy Award winning artist and producer Mark Ronson, 50, received the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award, before taking to the stage to perform.

And SAULT took home the R&B award, whilst Jacob Alon won the Critics Choice award and PinkPanthress won Producer of the Year.

Geese won Best International Group and Rosalia won Best International Artist whilst International Song of the Year was taken home by ROSE and Bruno Mars. 

International Song of the Year was won by Rosé and Bruno Mars for APT with Rosé at the ceremony to accept the honour.
