Charli XCX slams complaints about her sheer dress in Brit Awards 2025 speech

She’s being a brat at the Brits.

Charli XCX called out critics who complained about her nipple-baring dress during her acceptance speech at the Brit Awards 2025 on Saturday.

“I’ve heard that ITV were complaining about my nipples,” the “Apple” songstress said per Us Weekly, referring about a British broadcaster. “I feel like we’re in the era of free the nipple, though, right?”

“They put the clap track on, cool. Thanks for being on my side,” Charli, 32, continued.

The pop star, born Charlotte Emma Aitchison, stepped out at the awards show donning a sheer black dress designed by Dilara Findikoglu, accessorizing with a black veil and silver jewelry.

She left the ceremony with a handful of awards, including for album of the year, artist of the year, song of the year and dance act for her 2024 album, “Brat.”

While accepting her artist of the year speech, Chari shared, “I’ve always been an artist. It really takes a whole team — and they’re all sat at that table.

“I just want to say thank you so much to the people who helped me make this record.”

The “365” singer also gave a special shoutout to her fiancé, George Daniel.

During her album of the year speech, Charli admitted she has “always felt like an outsider in the industry, but particularly in the British music industry.”

“It feels really nice to be recognized on this album when I actually haven’t really made any sacrifices,” she said. “I’ve been doing my own thing in my own corner of the industry for a minute.

“I’ve never really changed [and] I’ve worked with the same incredible people.”

Charli celebrated her wins via Instagram Sunday, with videos and snaps of herself during and after the awards show.

One clip showed the “360” singer dancing at the event to Fergie’s 2006 hit “London Bridge,” while another showed her dipping one of her awards into a drink pitcher and waving it around in the air.

She also showed herself and her friends lip-syncing in the car to Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz’s 2012 hit, “Beez in the Trap.”
