Lady GaGa was the belle of the Brits ball last night, picking up three awards with a characteristically flamboyant performance to go in hand.
Other highlights included Florence and Dizzee's collaboration, JLS being happier than four happy things on the happiest day of their lives, and Robbie Williams' outstanding medley at the end.
Three years ago Lily slagged off the awards show when she suffered brutal disappointment after being nominated for four Brits and failing to win any.
The 23-year-old U.S. star won Best International Female, International Album for The Fame and International Breakthrough Act while Allen took the gong for British Female Solo Artist.
But last night it was Pixie Lott who suffered that disappointment after walking away empty-handed, despite being nominated in three categories.
U.S. star Lady Gaga dedicated her performance to her friend, tragic fashion designer Alexander McQueen who was last week found hanged in his London flat.
X Factor losers JLS were the most excited winners on the night as they took home two awards capping off a fantastic year for Britain's top boyband.
Cheryl Cole made it on stage to perform a version of Fight For This Love, despite her marital problems.
But she shunned the red carpet ahead of the show and stayed in her dressing room all night.
After arriving on stage to a standing ovation and the biggest cheer of the night, she belted out the lyrics 'We've got to fight for this love' taking to the stage without her wedding ring.
The Spice Girls were honoured with the prize for Best Brits Performance of 30 Years while Robbie Williams was handed the Outstanding Contribution to Music and sang a medley of hits past and present.
The Brit Awards rarely pass without incident and Liam Gallagher duly provided some controversy by swearing on the live show.
