Lady GaGa continued her quest for world domination on Tuesday night – by walking away with a trio of major trophies at the BRIT Awards in London.

The Poker Face hitmaker was the big winner at the event, walking away with prizes for all the international categories she was nominated for.

Her record The Fame was named Best International Album and she also collected awards for Best International Female Solo artist and Best International Breakthrough.

A teary-eyed GaGa thanked her U.K. fans, and provided the audience with a moving yet sombre tribute performance to late fashion designer Alexander McQueen, who died last Thursday (11Feb10).

Tour collaborators Lily Allen and Dizzee Rascal took home the Best Female and Male Solo Artist awards respectively, while Jay-Z collected the prize for Best International Male Solo Artist.

Boyband JLS were also celebrating after winning the Best British Breakthrough and Best British Single honours.

Florence And The Machine were the recipients of the night’s revered Mastercard British Album of the Year honour for their acclaimed debut, Lungs.

And the 1990s were alive again as two of the decades biggest acts, Oasis and the Spice Girls, were honoured with special trophies in recognition of the event’s 30th Anniversary.

The Wannabe hitmakers BRITs performance in 1997 was voted the event’s best ever live routine, while Liam Gallagher stirred controversy by throwing Oasis’ award for BRITs Album of the Last 30 Years – for 1995’s (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? – into the audience.

Former Take That star Robbie Williams concluded the show with a medley of hits after he was honoured with the Outstanding Contribution Award.
