Crack open the bubbly! Emeli Sandé leads 2013 BRIT Awards nominations with four nods as fellow nominees Paloma Faith and Rita Ora dazzle in champagne gowns

The daring dress left her detailed body art on show, several bird etchings were visible across her back.
Paloma has found herself in the running for the big award of the ceremony - Best Album, for her second album Fall From Grace.
The beauty is up against Emeli Sande's Our Version Of Events, Alt-J's An Awesome Wave, the Mumford release Babel and Plan B's Ill Manors.
Paloma told MailOnline she was 'ecstatic' to be nominated for the gong but doesn't back herself to actually pick up the award.

She said: 'I feel ecstatic to be nominated, it's amazing. But I really don't think I'll win. I kind of hope I don't in a way so then I don't have to prepare a winner's speech. I'm going to practice a really overjoyed face for when someone else wins!'
Rita, 22, also opted for a yellow-beige sequin-embellished gown, with a plunging neckline by Diane Von Furstenberg which she teamed with nude Christian Louboutin pointed heels.
The R.I.P singer told MailOnline having three nominations, including two for best song is 'amazing'.

'It's been a long journey to get here and a lot of hard work.'
Paloma added: 'I'd love to see Led Zeppelin win the lifetime achievement award.'

Mumford And Sons will line up against Alt-J again for best British group, with The xx and Muse. Pop act One Direction - who will be performing on the night when the awards take place on February 20 - complete the category after a year which has seen them conquer the US.
Coldplay, Mumford And Sons, Muse and The Vaccines are the bands who will challenge the Stones - who performed two UK shows at London's O2 Arena to mark their 50th anniversary last year - for the best live act title. The prize is making a comeback after being rested since 2009.
