At the 2023 Brit Awards at London’s O2 Arena, Jessie J made her first appearance at the ceremony in nearly a decade, arriving in a look that fully embraced her pregnancy.
Earlier that day, the singer shared that she was expecting a boy, adding another layer of attention to an appearance that was already likely to draw interest. Rather than conceal her growing baby bump, Jessie built the entire outfit around it, choosing a coordinated red lace ensemble that placed maternity style at the center of the look.
The appearance also marked a notable moment in Jessie J’s personal journey following the pregnancy loss she publicly discussed in 2021, making her return to one of the UK’s biggest music events feel especially meaningful.
Hours after posting her baby’s gender reveal, Jessie J made sure all eyes were on her when she arrived at London’s The O2 Arena for the BRIT Awards 2023.
She proudly put her growing belly on full display in an all-red ensemble cut from romantic, floral-patterned lace by Brielle, a Montreal-based fashion label.
The Domino singer opted for a long-sleeved crop top and kept things comfortable by pairing it with matching leggings.

Adding drama to the rather simple outfit, Jessie threw on a $639 Selezza scarlet red coat over her arms. The oversized coat, called the “Carmel,” had side seam pockets and layers of ruffled tulle.
Jessie’s stylist, Madeleine Bowden, added a pair of red gloves to the look and boosted her 5’9” height further with Le Silla “Eva” red stilettos.
She also accessorized the striking red ensemble with jewelry by Jill Hopkins, including the “Wrapped Pregnant Body” earrings and the “Pechos Pechos Maxi” ring, which are both part of the Mother collection, created in honor of motherhood and women.

Adding a hint of whimsical edge to the look, Jessie J carried her red-carpet essentials in the $338 Mae Cassidy “Simi Sweetheart” clutch, embellished with heart-shaped crystals in fuchsia pink and ruby red hues.
It was handmade by a single artisan from “recyclable antique gold-tone metalwork, welded together in a structured circular shape with over 1200 bell detailing.”
For her glam, the Flashlight singer wore light makeup, done by Karin Darnell. She applied mascara with subtle smokey eyeshadow, a hint of blush, and a swipe of pale pink lip color. Jessie J reportedly did her own hair, which she scraped back from her face in a tight bun.

Jessie J Accuses Brit Awards of Snubbing Her
Last year, fans were taken aback when Jessie J asked them not to sing along with her during her sold-out show in London.
She reportedly ranted to the crowd, saying: “If you know you can’t sing, no matter what you’ve been told at the family barbecue, keep it low.”

“These iPhones are on another level now. It will pick your s***** version of Flashlight and it will be your voice and my face. I don’t deserve it,” she told the fans who were filming her performance.
At the Brit Awards, she went on to say, “I haven’t even been invited to the Brit Awards for 10 years. Don’t make it any harder for me than it is.”
Who Is Jessie J’s Baby Daddy?
Many are curious to know who Jessie J’s baby daddy is following her pregnancy announcement. While she hasn’t revealed anything about the father, fans believe she’s pregnant with her current boyfriend, Chanan Safir Colman.
Chanan is a Danish-Israeli professional basketball player for Hapoel Haifa in the Israel Basketball Premier League.

He was born on March 10, 1984, in Gladsaxe, Denmark, to an Israeli mother and an American Jewish father.
Little information is known about him and Jessie J, but they reportedly began dating in 2021, shortly after her breakup with choreographer Max Pham Nguyen.
The singer also dated actor Channing Tatum in 2018 but broke up in 2019. They rekindled their romance in 2020 before splitting again later that year.
