The first day of Capital FMs Jingle Bell Ball kicked off yesterday with a flurry of some really interesting outfits on the red carpet.

From Rita Oras scribble dress to Anne-Maries riff on Kanye Wests I Love Its oversized outfits, there really is a lot to unpack here.

On Saturday the likes of Rita and Anne-Marie were joined by Ellie Goulding, Liam Payne, David Guetta and Halsey for the first of the two-day event at Londons O2.

Rita was resplendent in a quirky 80s-inspired prom look that had been taken to with a giant Sharpie.

Or at least it looked like it. And were here for it, not going to lie.

The Phoenix singer rocked the retro-style mini-dress, complete with giant bow at the back that formed a dramatic train, as she donned matching tights that sported a giant scrawl down both legs.

Understandably, she kept her make up pretty minimal. The dress did enough talking.

She slipped into something perhaps a little more comfortable, as she donned a pink-striped oversized tuxedo onstage. With a white bustier underneath, she worked up a sweat and ditched the massive blazer during her energetic set.

Ritas red carpet look wasnt the only that had our interest piqued as Anne-Marie got into the spirit alongside host Roman Kemp as they both worked the I Love It outfits.

The Friends singer was dressed as Lil Pump, while Roman went for Ye, as the two of them posed on the carpet in the giant block shirts and gold chains.

However, after the two of them gave their own epic rendition of the song backstage, she slipped into a slinky red, sequin gown for another spin down the red carpet.

You see, it was so nice she had to do it twice.

The singer then took to the stage and smashed through the tunes, starting with Friends, before backing dancers saw her right through to her closing anthem that is 2002.

Halsey rocked the media run, as well, before taking to the stage for her first Jingle Bell Ball.

Before she rocked her set, the Without Me singer shared a message of support for pop chum Ariana Grande.

Asked who she wants to chuck in the metaphorical bin, she answered: 2019 is the year of everyone being really nice to Ariana Grande because she deserves it, lets leave all that other stuff in 2018.

The second day of the Ball today will see Little Mix take to the stage alongside Jason Derulo, Jess Glynne, Zara Larsson, Clean Bandit, Cheryl, Sigala, Years & Years, Jax Jones and Mabel.
