Rita Ora frees the nip at Fashion Awards afterparty in mesh cut-out dress
Wondering what Rita Ora‘s current fave fashion trend is? If her latest looks are anything to go by, we’d have to guess naked dressing. The artist hosted the 2024 MTV European Music Awards at the beginning of November and arrived on the EMAs red carpet in a sheer nude gown featuring faux hair pieces sewn into the fabric. Then, later that month, she celebrated her birthday in a totally transparent corset dress that fully exposed her underwear.
Well, her most recent ensemble follows much of the same theme. After attending The 2024 Fashion Awards last night [Monday 2 December] in a rather demure, sharp suit (more on that below, so keep reading!) alongside debuting her new cropped blonde haircut, Rita stepped out at a Fashion Awards afterparty in London’s Mayfair – complete with an outfit change, natch.
Her second look of the evening was far more daring, consisting of a mid-length dress with sheer, white mesh cut-out panels at the bust that revealed Rita was braless in the skimpy number.
Despite the mesh panels printed with roses, the decoration did little to hide Rita’s nipples though did tie in with the dress’ satin skirt that featured a colourful comic book strip design. Throwing a shaggy faux fur coat over her shoulders, she added black platform Mary Jane heels that buckled all the way up to her knees. A quilted black bag clutched in her hand and gold hoop earrings completed the look.
For the event itself, Rita wore a custom-made suit co-designed with Primark. The understated ensemble paired together an oversized grey double-breasted blazer with dramatic shoulders and super wide-leg charcoal tailored trousers. She added a classic white stripe shirt to the outfit and a pink patterned tie for a pop of subtle colour. Plenty of jewellery added a fun, fashion twist.
The artist has previously collaborated with the high street brand on a collection, and this new look is the next step in their partnership as Rita’s exact suit will soon be available in Primark stores for customers to purchase next year. Mark your calendars…
