We could not be more pleased to announce that our very own Lily Allen took home the coveted Best British Solo Female BRIT award at the ceremony held in London last night!

Lily triumphed in one of the most hotly-contested categories around, facing off against some of the biggest artists of the moment - Florence + The Machine, Leona Lewis, Pixie Lott and Bat For Lashes!

As if Lily's victory wasn't enough, she also had the honour of opening the show with a show-stopping performance of her massive single 'The Fear', arriving on stage via a rocket! You can check out a video of her spectacular performance

Before the show started, Lily also owned the red carpet in a spectacular full-length black Chanel gown, and you can check out some pics

Congratulations Lily on an amazing BRITs 2010!
