Rita Ora has attended the Met Gala for years and this time, she wore an outfit with beads ‘older than anyone on this planet’.
The singer, 33, has managed to gain a coveted invite to Anna Wintour‘s annual fashion parade, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and hasn’t disappointed when it comes to pushing boundaries.
The singer proved she was every inch the fashion chameleon as her 2024 dress looked worlds away from the black Prabal Gurung gown with dramatic train she wore last year.
From plunging gowns to sparkly crop tops, we take a look at Rita’s red carpet looks after giving Kayne West’s wife Bianca Censori a run for her money with her nearly naked Met Gala look.

Rita put on a very daring display in a sheer nude bodysuit designed by MARNI.
Flaunting her incredibly toned physique, Rita went braless in the revealing garment, arriving at the event with her husband Taika Waititi, who was ever the gentleman as he helped sort her dress train on the red carpet.
For Rita’s 10th appearance at the fundraiser, she put her figure on full display as a curtain of colourful beads barely concealed her modesty.
The singing sensation revealed the beading on the dress dates back to 1st and 2nd century BC and they are sourced from all over the world.
She told carpet presenters Gwendoline Christie and Ashley Graham: ‘I think some of these beads are older than people on the planet… It is very heavy’.
To accessorise, Rita paired her bold look with a pair of nude heels and a gold bag.
She was spotted leaving the Carlyle Hotel wearing a bizarre headpiece which seemed to have been discarded before she arrived at the star-studded event.
Rita looked incredible as she styled her brunette tresses into a short, wet-look bob to match her glossy makeup.
She wanted to celebrate women’s existence with her look, as she told Entertainment Tonight: ‘Hi guys, I’m wearing a necklace this year at the Met.
‘This is about the beauty of the body and women’s existence and presence. [It’s about] not doing as much but also doing a lot, you see what I mean? And these beads are from actually second century BC.’

Her barely-there frock boasted floral lace appliqué and perfectly placed chiffon, while her train flowed seemingly for miles behind her and down the iconic steps.
Rita completed the look with $90K worth of Buccellati jewellery including a gold cuff, pearl bracelet and cocktail earrings – along with long diamond extensions that hung from her perfectly manicured nails.
The glamorous jewels seemed to drip from her fingers as she wowed in the elegant ensemble.
She accentuated her features with glam make-up palette by Team Charlotte Tilbury and wore her caramel tresses in loose curls.
She was joined by her husband director Taika, who looked suave in a long gun metal blazer which he wore shirtless and teamed with smart white trousers.
He added extra style to the ensemble with pearls as well as a black floral corsage.

She showed off her taut stomach and incredible figure in the skimpy outfit which was adorned with sequins at the event where the theme was In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.
She completed her look with a dazzling silver choker, matching earring and hair piece all by DeBeers as she posed confidently for the camera with her man.

2017

Rita looked incredible when she attended the Met Gala in 2017 wearing a woven silk red ribbon Marchesa dress.
The dress was tied in an oversized bow at the shoulder as she swept the famous steps outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art at the heart on New York’s 5th Avenue for the annual style-studded bash.
The theme was Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, with the focus being on the avant-garde designer’s technique with silhouettes, draping and fit.
The 74-year-old Japanese fashion legend was the second ever living designer to be the sole subject of the Met’s fashion exhibit since Yves Saint Laurent in 1983.
And Rita’s Marchesa gown showed off small patches of skin in her incredible gown which swathed her figure perfectly.
