Damian Hurley dons an eye-catching ensemble at the BRIT Awards

Liz Hurley’s son Damian, 20, puts on an eye-catching display in a sparkly velvet blazer and leather trousers as he arrives for the BRIT Awards

Damian Hurley turned heads as he arrived on the BRIT Awards red carpet at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.

The budding filmmaker, 20, son of actress Elizabeth Hurley, looked dapper in an eye-catching sparkly velvet blazer and black leather trousers.

The garment shimmered perfectly off the lights of the flashing cameras as he made his way towards the event. 

Underneath he wore a simple black shirt and added a few inches to his height in a pair of heeled black boots.

He accessorised with a statement silver circle necklace which hung in the middle of his toned chest.

He let his luscious locks flow freely and frame his face perfectly.

For the first time in the ceremony’s history, it takes place on a Saturday, broadcast live from London’s O2 Arena. 

Harry Styles, Wet Leg, and Sam Smith lead this year’s nominations as the stars battle it out for the coveted awards.

All three will perform on the night, with Lizzo, Becky Hill, Cat Burns and Stormzy also storming the stage.  

Music bosses have come under fire, however, when the shortlist was announced last month. 

In a surprise snub, female artists were shut out of the Artist Of The Year, which last year introduced a gender-neutral overhaul by scrapping its male and female-centric categories. 

Nominated for Artist Of The Year are Central Cee, Fred Again, George Ezra, Harry Styles and Stormzy.

Harry, Stormzy and Fred Again – real name Fred Gibson – are also up for album of the year, alongside The 1975 and indie duo Wet Leg, who are the only female act in the category.

Charli XCX, whose fifth studio album Crash topped the charts, and Florence and the Machine, whose album Dance Fever earned the singer her fourth UK number one, were notably absent.

Now, BRIT Award bosses are in talks to bring back separate categories for best male and female artist next year, after no women made the shortlist for its new gender-neutral prize. 

The coveted Song Of The Year With Mastercard category will see Aitch with Baby Ft Ashanti, Cat Burns with Go, Dave with Starlight, and Ed Sheeran And Elton John with their festive hit Merry Christmas battle it out.

Also nominated are Eliza Rose And Interplanetary Criminal with Baddest Of Them All, George Ezra with Green Green Grass and Harry Styles with As It Was.

Meanwhile, Damian’s appearance comes after he revealed he has wrapped production on his first feature film which he wrote and directed.

He teamed up with his actress mother Elizabeth Hurley who promised him years ago she would appear in his debut movie.

Fashion model Damian shared several behind the scenes snaps from the shoot as he thanked his cast and crew for the part they played in bringing the film to life.

Damian didn’t share any plot details of the film, called Strictly Confidential, but revealed his mother will be playing a character named Lily.

Filming took place in the Caribbean with Damian sharing several beach snaps from the production.

Alongside the photos, he wrote: ‘AND. THAT’S. A. WRAP. Officially finished shooting my first ever feature as writer/director.

‘I can’t begin to sum up how intense and wonderful the past few months have been- I’m truly blown away by the inspiring and talented people I’ve been able to work with – with immense gratitude to my phenomenal cast: @georgia_nathalie, @freddiethorp, @laurenmcqueen, @maxparker__, @genevieve_gaunt, @pearchiray, @Ilyrio – and, most of all, my beautiful and supreme mother @ElizabethHurley1.

Damian revealed his mother ‘dropped everything’ and flew out to the Caribbean to appear in her son’s film.

He said: ‘Everyone involved deserves public declarations of adoration (all of which will come in due course) but right now I want to worship @ElizabethHurley1 who, during the making of my first ever short film back in 2010 (when I was 8) promised me she’d be in my first feature.

‘True to her word, the minute this film was greenlit, Mama dropped everything and raced out to the beautiful Caribbean to help. Working together was a dream ♥️

‘As for those behind the camera – I owe huge thanks to the incomparable @philippe.martinez.producer, the amazing crew at @msrmedia and my insanely wonderful DOP @georgeburt – Every single person played a vital role in bringing this project from script to screen and I am forever grateful.

‘This has genuinely been the most incredible experience, both professionally and personally. 

‘I’ve made lifelong friends and learnt many valuable lessons. I’m so so proud of this film and REALLY want to share lots and lots right now (sadly not allowed as nearly every photo I have contains a huge spoiler lol) but WATCH THIS SPACE. More coming very, very soon xx’.

Elizabeth, whose most recent film was Christmas In The Caribeean, has also kept quiet on her son’s project. 

Damian has previously acted, appearing in E! drama series The Royals in which his mother had the lead role.

Since then he has focused on modelling, signing with IMG Models in 2020.
