Ellie Goulding left little to the imagination when she arrived on the red carpet at the Brit Awards in London on Saturday night.
The singer, 36, rocked one of her edgiest looks yet, going braless in a daring wet top that featured a detailed bust.
Ellie’s top, which appeared to be made of a thin PVC-like material, also featured a cutout at the belly button and a backless design.
She paired the look with a pair of high-waisted flared pants that accentuated her long legs.
Her outfit highlighted her incredibly toned figure, which she attributes to her love of working out.

However, music bosses came under fire when the list was announced last month.
In a surprise snub, female artists were excluded from Entertainer of the Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by removing its male- and female-focused categories.
The first gender neutral award was presented to Adele last year, but in her acceptance speech she told the audience: “I love being a woman.”
Nominated for Artist of the Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.
Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again, whose real name is Fred Gibson, are also up for album of the year, along with The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.
Charli XCX, whose fifth studio album Crash topped the charts, and Florence and the Machine, whose album Dance Fever earned the singer her fourth UK number one, were notably absent.
Now BRIT Awards bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for their new gender-neutral award.
The coveted Song of the Year with Mastercard category will see Aitch with Baby Ft Ashanti, Cat Burns with Go, Dave with Starlight and Ed Sheeran and Elton John with their holiday hit Merry Christmas.
Also nominated are Eliza Rose and Interplanetary Criminal with Baddest Of Them All, George Ezra with Green Green Grass and Harry Styles with As It Was.
Closing out the Song of the Year nominations are Lewis Capaldi with Forget Me, Lf System with Afraid To Feel, and Sam Smith and Kim Petras with Unholy.
Up for Group of the Year are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Bad Boy Chiller Crew, Nova Twins and Wet Leg, while International Group of the Year saw nominations for Black Pink, Drake And 21 Savage, First Aid Kit, Fontaines Dc and Gabriels.
Details: Her makeup was completed with a matte foundation, a heavily outlined nude lip, and a sharp winged eye.
Doing his thing! She appeared in high spirits when she hit the red carpet, joining Harry Styles and Jessie J at the event.
Speaking after their four nods, Wet Leg said: ‘Someone hold our horses as we face this wild news, being nominated for a BRIT award is too hard to fathom, we could never have expected our little band to pull this off. ‘
Alt Rock nominees are The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Nova Twins, Tom Grennan and Wet Leg.
Stormzy has earned another nomination in the Hip Hop/Grime/Rap category, competing against Aitch, Central Cee, Dave and Loyle Carner.
Becky Hill once again earned a nomination in the Dance Act category, having previously garnered the award last year.
She is nominated against Bonobo, Calvin Harris, Eliza Rose and Fred Again.
On the other hand, in the International Categories, Beyoncé reigns once again with two nominations, along with Taylor Swift and Lizzo.
For International Artist of the Year are Beyonce, Burna Boy, Kendrick Lamar, Lizzo and Taylor Swift.
