Meanwhile Adele made a triumphant comeback and revealed her slender figure in a long-sleeved black Givenchy gown which was adorned with sequins, as she prepared to take the stage during the ceremony.

The 27-year-old managed to deliver a spectacular rendition of All I Ask, but unfortunately the performance was marred by technical glitches which affected the sound.

While the Hello hit-maker was all about the elegance on the red carpet, several of the guests in attendance picked revealing outfits.

Ciara, who was joined by boyfriend Russell Wilson, risked a wardrobe malfunction in a black and white Alexandre Vauthier frock that was cut to the hip on one side, and she appeared to be going without underwear.
