CMAT stunned on the red carpet on Saturday night as she wore a particularly revealing number.

The Dublin musician surprised red carpet attendees by wearing a full black gown which was revealed to be backless, all the way down to her posterior.

CMAT was nominated for international artist of the year, a competitive category featuring Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Kylie Minogue, SZA, Caroline Polachek, and Nigerian singers Asake and Burna Boy. She unfortunately did not take home the gong, with the award going to SZA.

The dress has made waves since it first debuted at the awards show, including CMAT's cheeky (pun absolutely intended) photobombing of Clara Amfo as she was introducing Rema.

Sharing the dress on social media the musician captioned the dress reveal with: "Told you I was a bitta craic".

Designed by Sophie Lincoln and styled by Sia Maxwell, the black dress has been circulating online with ITV and the Daily Mail censoring the crack, while other publications such as vogue gave the dress favourable coverage saying "a fabulous new way to seek fashion attention just dropped".

The dress was styled with a Bimba y Lola handbag in the shape of a rose, and similarly glamorous prawn-shaped silver hair barrettes by Shrimps and statement jewellery by 33mm and Eve Wilson Jewellery.

The look was completed with  tooth gems and a sixties style up-do and make-up.

CMAT was not the only Irish star who dazzled at the awards, with Irish talent Laura Whitmore and Jazzy also present.

Jazzy was nominated in the international song of the year category for her track 'Giving Me' against Billie Eilish, Noah Kahan and Olivia Rodrigo, and Miley Cyrus, although she did not take home the coveted prize which instead went to Miley Cyrus.

Musicians weren't the only Irish talent visible at the awards with Irish presenter and journalist Laura Whitmore took to the red carpet too.

The biggest winner of the night was Raye, who took home a whopping six awards while recent Hot Press interviewees The Last Dinner Party took home the Rising Star Award.
