Our favourite moments from the BRITs and Warner x Hennessy after party

From the stages of the O2 to the club room of Claridge’s — here’s what went down at the BRITs 2025.

Walking into the BRITs feels a bit like a fever dream. There are very few occasions (even as a journo) that you’ll see so many famous faces in one room. And when so many celebs come together, you can guarantee there’ll be drama, daring fashion and drinks aplenty — even before you get to the after party. From Danny Dyer calling the Prime Minister a c*nt live on air, to spotting HorsegiirL next to a giant inflatable monkey at Claridge’s, these are HUNGER’s highlights from the BRITs and Warner x Hennessy after party.

Charli xcx said free the nipple

When Charli xcx went on stage to accept her Artist of the Year award (just one of five wins, for the record), she made it known that ITV were complaining about her nipples being visible through her Dilara Findikoglu dress. In response, xcx clapped back with, “we’re in the era of free the nipple, though, right? Thanks for being on my side.” We can’t speak for everyone, but we’re definitely on her side. Grow up, ITV.

JADE got cheeky

Okay, more accurately, one of JADE’s dancers got cheeky during her performance of “Angel Of My Dreams” and whipped out his bum, which had ‘FUFN’ written on it. The acronym alluded to the singer’s upcoming single, “Fuck You For Now” and all we can say is, that’s what you call clever marketing.

Danny Dyer called Keir Starmer a c*nt 

Between performances, host Jack Whitehall posted up next to some of the celebs for a chat. One of the funniest of the night (bar Whitehall ironically calling KSI’s latest single the “tune of the year”, or something of that ilk), was when Danny Dyer went on a rant about the PM, calling him both a c*nt and a slag. The actor was sitting next to HorsegiirL at the time, which somehow made it ten times more dystopian and hilarious in equal measure.

Lola Young got messy

This was probably the performance we were most looking forward to and Lola Young did not disappoint. Performing her single, “Messy”, the Brit School alumna kicked things off by laying in a pile of laundry before heading up to the main stage and messing around with a washing machine and hoover. Everything about it was perfect and we can’t wait to see more of what 2025 holds for Young.

Deba Hekmat headed up a conga

Remember when we said the BRITS feels like a fever dream? Well, the same applies to the after party but, like, times a hundred. Imagine walking into a room at Claridge’s filled with giant inflatable monkeys and celebrities forming a conga line. Model Deba Hekmat was heading it up — the rest is a blur.

A-listers partied en masse

Charli xcx was spotted in the club room (obviously), while we rubbed shoulders with everyone from the BRITs host to Brooklyn Beckham. A standout moment was catching sight of HorsegiirL next to one of the Hennessy bars. Not only are her prosthetics alarmingly real, but it also begged the question, how do you drink through a faux horse mouth? Where there’s a will there’s a way, we guess.

Hennessy brought the vibes

This one speaks for itself. And, given the two-day hangover we’re feeling from one too many (sublime) Hennessy margaritas, we’d rather focus on the fond, cognac-fuelled memories than the headache-filled present.
