Cheryl’s very slim physique was the talk of the town, but Rita managed to steal a bit of the spotlight for herself in a shimmering retro-inspired mini frock from Versace’s Fall/Winter 2015 collection.

Her flattering LBD featured a multicolored crystal-embellished bodice and a thigh-skimming hemline that highlighted her toned legs.

While she could’ve just let her dress shine on its own, the 24-year-old singer furthered the glam factor by accessorizing with an oversized pair of star-shaped earrings and a few rings — which didn’t come as a surprise knowing her bold sense of style.

Rita finished off the look by pulling her long blonde hair into a high ponytail that featured a few cornrow braids. She also sported heavy eye makeup.

Rita finished off her ’80s-inspired outfit with a simple pair of black pointed-toe pumps — the popular “So Kate” by Christian Louboutin.

These heles are made of glossy patent leather and feature pointed toes and about 4.8-inch heels. She has a tattoo of a pair of angel wings on the back of her right ankle.
