Their ex-boyfriends may be big in the music industry too, but single stars Perrie Edwards and Ellie Goulding owned the red carpet all by themselves on Thursday afternoon.

Serving up a subtle reminder to their exes about what they were missing out on, the blonde bombshells eclipsed their red carpet rivals in the glamour stakes at the BBC Music Awards 2015 and proved that the single status looks pretty good on them.

Zayn Malik's former fiancee Perrie, 22, was feisty in a thigh-skimming skirt and thigh-high boots while Ellie, 28 - recently single from her split from McBusted's Dougie Poynter - was glamorous in a long lace skirt.

Red carpet queen: Little Mix's Perrie Edwards knocked her red carpet appearance out of the park on Thursday as she hit the BBC Music Awards in Birmingham

Perrie blew her Little Mix bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall out of the water with her Tomb Raider-style plait and copper studded ensemble.

She lead the pack at the Birmingham Genting Arena, which also drew attendance from Zayn's former bandmates One Direction, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Niall Horan.

The two former X Factor bands managed to avoid crossing paths when it came to the red carpet, and thus Little Mix's red carpet moment was preserved.

Ellie, whose separation from McBusted's Dougie due to individual work schedules is less than one-month gone, may also have been feeling a little awkward about 1D's appearance.

Owning it: Fellow single lady Ellie Goulding looked truly chic in black as she flew solo

oxy: She wore a Tomb Raider style get up with her hair scraped back into a ponytail

The Starry Eyed singer was recently spotted cosying up to her ex Niall Horan; and at the time looked pretty pleased about the reunion despite her relationship heartache.

Ellie and Niall are thought to have dated around the time of 2013's MTV Music Awards, something she recently confirmed in an interview.

Regardless, Ellie will have been pleased to have made such an effort on Thursday since she arrived at the annual event looking smoking hot and confident.

Her legs were teased beneath a long lace skirt that shot a glimpse at her miniskirt and black sandals beneath but proved pretty troublesome as she was pictured parting her it at the seams to avoid tripping over.

Racy display: Perrie outshone her bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall

Strut: She knew she garnered all of the attention as she paraded her pins

Rocking it: She looked pleased with her appearance, walking behind the other girls 

Debrief: They stood around playing with their outfits before being photographed

Too tight? Perrie's hair looked as if it had been pulled too tight, giving her head pains

Swing it: She shook out her ponytail with glee, obviously enjoying the way it followed her movements

Still friends: Her ex-boyfriends ex-bandmates One Direction (Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles and Niall Horan) narrowly missed her on the red carpet

Signature styles: The boys distinguished themselves by their now-signature styles

Odd choice: Typically stylish Harry wore some odd striped trousers to the event on Thursday night

He cleans up: The musician will no doubt be looking forward to his time off early next year

Friendly exes: Niall Horan and Ellie used to date, but his presence at the event didn't seem to worry her

Awkward: Ellie's dress seemed to be causing her some problems that night and she played with it, fanning it out as she walked

Twirl: Holding out her skirt, Ellie did well to make sure it wasn't in her way

The boys couldn't be missed of course, owing to their flamboyant choice of red carpet styling for Thursday's event.

While Harry chose striped bell-bottom trousers, his pal Niall wore a pink satin bomber and the other two boys in patterned tops that were more parred down the rest.

And to host the event, a glittering Fearne Cotton was in rainbow shades that made up a particularly dazzling sequinned minidress with red caged heels to boot. 

She was joined by fellow host Chris Evans as well as BBC radio and TV veteran Jo Whiley.

Taking the time: Even in the rain, Perrie spent time signing fans' pictures and taking selfies with them

She has spoken previously about her love of London and Salma Hayek certainly looked delighted to be enjoying a swanky bash in the English capital on Wednesday night. 

The 48-year-old actress attended the Christmas Lights Switch On at the Stella McCartney Bruton Street store in London, looking chic in a cropped houndstooth jacket and black trousers. 

Of course Stella's label is part of Kering, the French luxury goods holding company owned by Salma's husband François-Henri Pinault, 52 so no doubt she was happy to attend the event.

Stylish: Salma Hayek wrapped up against the London chill in a chic houndstooth jacket and black trousers at the Christmas Lights Switch On at the Stella McCartney store in London on Wednesday 

Salma's dark hair flowed around her shoulders in loose curls and she carried a small yellow handbag.

It's not surprising the actress managed to look so stylish, as her husband's company also owns labels including Alexander McQueen, Balenciaga, Brioni, Gucci, Puma and Volcom.  

Impressive: Stella was mesmerised by her own lights as she and Salma joined the throngs outside to watch them 

While Salma lives in Paris, she revealed in March of this year that she and her husband of five years were considering relocating from Paris to London. 

Speaking in an interview with The Times Magazine, the actress said: 'I want to clarify, it's not for tax purposes. We are still paying taxes here in France. 

'We think that London has a lot more to offer than just a better tax situation. François thinks London is very cosmopolitan. I think it will be good for my career too.'
