Winners after the jump.

The Brit Awards, the UK's equivalent of the Grammy Awards, took place in London on Tuesday night and the winners included Florence and the Machine, Kasabian, Jay-Z, newcomer Ellie Goulding and a hat trick for Lady Gaga (who walked the red carpet in what seemed to be white drapes with a lace mask and Marie Antoinette-inspired, soufflé of cotton candy on her head).
