Harry Styles, 26, arrived on the BRIT Awards 2020 red carpet this evening ahead of his performance at the annual ceremony. The former One Direction star wore a brown suit, which he paired with a purple jumper with an intricately cut white lace shirt collar peering over it.

He accessorised with a pearl necklace and a black ribbon, which is said to be a symbol of remembrance or mourning.

Harry’s choice to wear the black ribbon comes after his ex-girlfriend Caroline Flack took her own life last weekend.

The singer was a close friend and former boyfriend of the Love Island presenter, who was found dead at her flat in London on Saturday.

A source recently told Daily Star Online that Harry would continue with his performance at the BRITs following Caroline’s tragic death.

However, Harry’s mum Anne Twist shared a poem dedicated to the beloved TV personality.

“How lonely must you feel, to think that must be done, to feel there is no love to support you through,” the poem began.

“How must your heart ache, to feel so all alone, the public face; the private face Both vulnerable.

“The mask we all wear, Outside where skies are open, in view of others eyes, opinions words and cruelty.

Elsewhere, it has been reported that Harry was robbed at knifepoint on Valentine’s Day.

The attacker confronted the singer when he was on a night out in Hampstead in London, according to Mirror Online.

Harry, fortunately, escaped from the incident unharmed, with an insider telling the publication: "He actually played it pretty cool, quickly giving the assailant cash, keeping himself and the guy calm and getting the situation over with.

"Understandably though, it left him very shaken up afterwards."

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the incident to Mirror Online.
