Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field both looked incredible as they walked the red carpet together at the BRIT Awards at Co-op Live in Manchester on Saturday.

The singer, 52, who will close out the show with a tribute performance to Ozzy Osbourne, arrived in a bold suit with a monochromatic print.

The outfit featured a white splattered design against a black base with Robbie pairing it with black shoes.

Former X Factor judge Ayda, 46, opted for a more traditional look in a slim-fitting black blazer with matching trousers.

The couple, who have been married since 2010, put on a loved-up display on the red carpet as Robbie gave her a kiss on the cheek.

Ozzy Osbourne will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year's ceremony. The frontman of Black Sabbath, who passed away in July last year, will be celebrated for his inimitable impact and influence on music worldwide.

Robbie was asked to be a part of the tribute personally by Ozzy's wife Sharon as a long-standing fan of the music, and friend of the Osbourne family.

Curated by Sharon herself, it will feature a special arrangement of No More Tears - the title track from Ozzy's multi-million selling 1991 album of the same name.

The segment will boast a phenomenal line up of British and international musical talent, featuring musicians that played as part of Ozzy's band over the years.

Robbie will be joined on stage by Ozzy's lead guitarist Zakk Wylde as well as Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo and Tommy Clufetos.

As well as being one of the most influential music figureheads and rock icons of all time, Ozzy hosted The BRIT Awards in 2008 along with his family Sharon, Kelly and Jack.

Stacey Tang, Chair of the 2026 BRIT Awards Committee and Co-President of RCA Records at Sony Music UK said: 'Ozzy Osbourne has been a mighty force in modern music. Possessing an unmistakable voice and unique presence, he reshaped the sound and spirit of rock, inspiring generations of artists who followed.
'This Lifetime Achievement Award recognises a remarkable legacy built on originality and enduring influence, that continues to connect with fans worldwide.'

Ozzy passed away aged 76 at his Buckinghamshire home on July 22 after suffering an 'acute myocardial infarction' and 'out of hospital cardiac arrest'.

It came just three weeks after he performed a farewell show with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Birmingham's Villa Park.

He was laid to rest on the grounds of his own mansion in Buckinghamshire during a private funeral attended by his family and a host of rock royalty.

His widow Sharon and their children were joined by stars including Marilyn Manson and Ozzy's lead guitarist Zakk Wylde during the event at the family's 250-acre estate near Gerrards Cross.

The concert - three weeks before his death - saw him reunite with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005.

More than 42,000 fans packed into the venue for the Back To The Beginning show, during which he told the crowd in his final speech: 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart.'

The 2026 BRIT Awards will be the first of three years under the stewardship of Sony Music UK, who spearheaded the move to Manchester.

Jason Iley MBE, Chairman and CEO, Sony Music UK & Ireland said: 'This is a very exciting time for The BRIT Awards.'

'Moving to Manchester, the home of some of the most iconic and defining artists of our lifetime, will invigorate the show and build on the BRITs legacy of celebrating and reinvesting in world-class music.
'Hosting the show in Manchester, with its vibrant cultural history, perfectly captures the spirit and energy of the BRIT Awards. I can't wait to see the show at the amazing state-of-the art Co-op Live venue.'

Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, added: 'For The BRIT Awards to move out of London is a massive coup for Greater Manchester. After 48 years, it is great that this prestigious global event is about to arrive in the UK capital of music and culture.'
