Charli XCX celebrates her huge night at the BRITs after bagging five awards as she leads stars at Universal after party alongside Ashley Roberts and Maura Higgins

Charli XCX put on a daring display as she joined Ashley Roberts and Maura Higgins at the Universal afterparty following the 2025 BRIT Awards on Saturday night.

The singer, 32, had a huge night at the BRITs as she scooped up five gongs – and later joined the stars in descending on 180 Studios in London after the glitzy affair at the O2 Arena.

Charli sported the same daring number as her red carpet look as she headed out for a night of celebrating following her huge successes.

She strutted her stuff in a sheer black gown which she wore over skimpy thong underwear as she put her enviable figure on display. 

Her edgy gown featured a veiled hooded design and she added to her frame with a pair of pointed black heels.

Meanwhile Pussycat Doll looked sensational as she arrived in a sheer black metallic strappy mini dress with her blonde locks styled in a slicked back wet look.

I’m A Celeb star Maura, 34, also stepped out for the party as she changed out of her daring floral sheer red carpet look. 

Maura instead wore an oversized black suit-style playsuit which featured white embroidered ruffles. 

Noel Gallagher’s son Gene was among those at the party, as he posed with a guest and made a rocker sign with his hands. 

Another couple to grace the party was Alex Scott and Jess Glynne, who were spotted getting a taxi home at the end of the night. 

Maura had an awkward run in with her ex Pete Wicks at the after party, as he arrived arm-in-arm with her rival Olivia Attwood.  

Also in attendance at the afterparty was comedian and awards show host Jack and his model partner Roxy, 33, who put on a very loved-up display as they arrived hand-in-hand.

Jack cut a suave figure in a red velvet blazer and a black suit as he celebrated his fifth gig hosting the BRITs.

Roxy put on a leggy display in the same outfit she wore on the red carpet, a figure-hugging sequinned black mini dress.

She draped a faux-fur jacket over her shoulders to keep warm amid the chilly climes and added to her height with a pair of pointed heels.

Jack hosted the ceremony for the fifth time but his savage jibes at the celebrity audience left viewers divided. 

At the 2025 BRITs, Charli led the winners as her smash hit album BRAT swept the board and took home a whopping five awards.

The star, whose No1 album became a cultural phenomenon last summer, took home Best Album, Artist of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Dance Act and Best Song Writing.

Charli’s incredible sweep mirrored Raye’s own triumph at last year’s ceremony which saw the 27-year-old made history after scooping a record breaking six gongs.

In a more candid moment, Charli revealed that she’d spent years ‘never nominated for anything’ and said she’d always felt an ‘outsider’ but told fans her huge BRITs triumph proved successes took time.

Later when collecting Best Dance act, she said: ‘I feel like dance music gets a bad rep because people are like, ‘It’s not that deep.’

‘I think it is. This genre for me is euphoric, it allows me the escape and feel on a very deep level.
