Studded with Style: Ellie Goulding's Best Looks

Ellie showed up to the awards show in a brave, ab-baring Christopher Kane dress and a quirky Lulu Guinness lip-shaped studded clutch.

Ellie knows that when wearing a jacket that's this detailed, there's no need for over-the-top accessories. The jacket, especially when worn over a tribal-print tee, has enough visual interest to carry any outfit.

Clearly Ms. Goulding has a penchant for all things studded (a girl after my own heart). This decked-out trench is a refreshing change from the classic (read: boring), and her faint Manic Panic hair reminds us that above all else, this girl is a rock star.

Ellie nails cold-weather dressing in a monochrome outfit by switching up textures. A pair of leather-look leggings under a snuggly looking pea coat are the perfect answer to staying warm and looking cool.

This printed brown and navy dress with it's Peter Pan collar is just the right amount of twee, while her slightly-sparkly oxford booties lend a bit of a rockabilly charm to the completed look.

Proving that her music isn't the only ethereal thing about her, she wore this flowy galaxy-printed top and her favorite leather leggings to perform. By buttoning it to the neck, she was able to show off the contrast collar that is so popular at the moment.

Trading in her hip rockstar leather and studs for a white lace skater dress, Ellie was sweet as sugar on the red carpet.

Glamazon alert! Channelling the style of Old Hollywood, Ellie arrived sporting a bright lip and a cozy fur stole--achieving a look that is both weather-appropriate and stylish.

This is a much more comfortable and relaxed look for Ellie. The maxi jumpsuit is not an easy wardrobe piece to pull off, but by keeping her accessories simple (a long gold necklace and a single bracelet) she nails it. Plus, the swipe of bright magenta lip color is the perfect accent to any otherwise monochrome look.

Oh, no big deal. Just singing for a bunch of Nobel Prize winners in a gorgeous white sequined dress. Carry on.

Boyfriend Skrillex must be rubbing off on our girl Ellie--she's now rocking the half-shaved hairstyle he popularized--but with a pair of magenta strappies on her feet and electric blue pedicure she keeps her look on its toes.

In one of her earlier performances, Ms. Goulding proved her love for layering textures and prints. A glittering sequin hoodie is an unexpected item to layer over an ikat-print shirt, but her unfussy hair and makeup make it the perfect look for the stage.

The most rock n' roll look of the bunch, Ellie here pairs an embroidered Mulberry dress with a studded belt and tough-looking clogs. Her candy-purple hair (the trendsetter dyed hers a year before Kelly Osbourne) is the final punch in a total knockout of an outfit.

It takes a bold, confident woman to tackle singing and drumming at the same time. It takes an even bolder, more confident woman to wear a two-toned fringed jacket.

Looking perfectly ladylike, Goulding graciously shook hands with Elizabeth II in an a-line white cocktail dress with simple black laser cut heels.
