• OFCOM has received 825 complaints about the 2025 BRIT Awards, mainly focused on Sabrina Carpenter's and Charli XCX's attire.

• Charli XCX's sheer dress also drew criticism, which she addressed during her acceptance speech, saying “I feel like we’re in the era of ‘free the nipple’.”
• OFCOM is reviewing the complaints to determine if an investigation is warranted.
