Keely Hodgkinson has turned heads after stepping out on the Brit Awards red carpet on Saturday evening.
This year’s Sports Personality of the Year winner took to London’s O2 Arena sporting a white skirt and a black top which was missing entire sections of its sides.
The Olympic champion risked a wardrobe malfunction with the ensemble as she opted to go braless for the occasion.
Hodgkinson was one of several celebrities to garner attention on the Brits red carpet ahead of tonight’s ceremony.
Ashley Roberts, Teddy Swims, Zara McDermott, GK Barry, Sugababes, Kimberly Wyatt, Myles Smith, and several other big names were also among the early arrivals.
Now in its 45th year, the prestigious ceremony remains a defining celebration of musical excellence in the British music industry.
