The MOBO Awards are the biggest night of the year for the urban music scene.
But nominee Jessie J’s risqué Goth outfit looked better suited to a metal ceremony as she made a dramatic entrance at the ceremony in Glasgow last night.
The 23-year-old singer looked striking with her short bob replaced with tumbling dark curls and lashings of red lipstick as she posed on the red carpet outside the SECC.

After being nominated in five categories, Jessie J ended up being the big winner of the night, taking home Best Newcomer, Best UK Act, Best Album for Who You Are and Best Song for Do It Like A Dude.
The night marked Jessie J’s first event without her cast, which she had been wearing since she ruptured several tendons in her foot earlier this year.
Accepting the Best Single award, Jessie J said: ‘If you hear Do It Like A Dude at the party afterwards, do me a favour and get your d**ks out for me.’

For her performance, Jessie changed out of her floor-length gown into her usual stage ensemble or shorts and a cropped top.
Rapper Tinchy Stryder also had a successful night, picking up Best Hip-hop Act and Best Video for his duet with Dappy, Spaceship.
Teen singer Dionne Bromfield performed a moving tribute to her late godmother Amy Winehouse, singing Love Is A Losing Game against a backdrop of a video montage of the tragic star.

exciting new award winners to the Mobo roll of honour including the global superstar Adele, the UK’s hot talent Tinchy Stryder and of course the fantastic Jessie J walking away with four awards.’
As expected, there was plenty of glamour at the ceremony, with female celebrities flashing plenty of flesh despite the chilly 13C temperatures.
