Lola Young wore a strapless sculpted top with patterned wide leg trousers at The BRIT Awards 2026 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, February 28, 2026.
This is one of those red carpet looks where texture does all the talking.
At The BRIT Awards 2026 at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, February 28, 2026, Lola Young skipped the traditional gown route and showed up in a sculpted strapless top paired with statement trousers. It is bold red carpet fashion, but not in a predictable way.
The top is structured and strapless, built in horizontal padded bands that wrap around the torso. The material looks like glossy leather or coated fabric in a deep olive tone, printed with a large red graphic motif across the front. The shape is rigid and architectural, almost corset adjacent but without visible boning. It holds its form rather than draping, which immediately sets it apart from softer celebrity dresses on the carpet.
Below, she wears wide leg trousers in a dark blue patterned fabric with a diamond grid and scattered appliques that resemble small locks. The trousers are high waisted and fall straight to the floor, partially covering dark footwear. The mix of textures, matte and glossy, smooth and embellished, creates a layered, slightly rebellious fashion moment.
What I find interesting is the deliberate clash. The top and trousers do not try to match. They coexist. And that tension is what makes it work. It feels authentic to a music awards show rather than trying to mimic a classic couture dress silhouette.
From a practical standpoint, this is a confident celebrity look. Structured top, comfortable wide leg trousers, easy to move in during red carpet arrivals. It is expressive without being fussy.
We are seeing more artists lean into sculptural tops and statement pants lately. This fits right into that shift toward personality driven dressing.
