Charli XCX took a bold stand at the 2025 Brit Awards, calling out critics of her daring sheer dress during her acceptance speech. The pop star, known for her edgy style, addressed the complaints about her nipple-baring outfit, which had reportedly caused a stir with British broadcaster ITV.
“I’ve heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples,” Charli said during her speech. “I feel like we’re in the era of free the nipple, though, right?” She also appreciated the audience’s support, saying, “They put the clap track on, cool. Thanks for being on my side.”
Charli, who won multiple awards including Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year for her 2024 album Brat, stunned at the ceremony in a sheer black dress by Dilara Findikoglu, accessorized with a black veil and silver jewelry.
While accepting her Artist of the Year award, Charli gave thanks to her team and fiancé, George Daniel, for their support in creating her successful album. “I’ve always felt like an outsider in the industry, but particularly in the British music industry,” she said. “It feels really nice to be recognized on this album when I actually haven’t really made any sacrifices.”
Charli’s candid acceptance speeches and fun celebration moments, including dancing and playfully using one of her awards as a prop, added to the excitement of her big night.
