At the 2018 BRIT Awards held at The O2 Arena in London, the red carpet served as a platform for both high fashion and social advocacy.
While many celebrities carried white roses in solidarity with the Time’s Up movement, Rita Ora’s interpretation of the gesture drew mixed reviews as she posed with the symbolic flower alongside her maximalist ensemble.

The “For You” singer arrived in a voluminous feathered gown from the Ralph & Russo Fall 2017 Couture collection.
With eyes closed and rose in hand, Rita Ora adds a playful, romantic gesture to her dramatic feathered look on the BRIT Awards red carpet.
The ombre design featured heavy tiers of plumes that made a dramatic statement, though the sheer scale of the dress—paired with tight blonde curls—sparked a debate on whether the look overwhelmed the star’s frame.
From a footwear perspective, a floor-sweeping couture hemline calls for a precise, stabilizing heel to preserve balance and fluid movement. In this area, Rita Ora has long relied on Christian Louboutin.
Styled by Jason Rembert, who is particularly known for pairing Rita with the brand’s signature red soles, she has repeatedly leaned on Louboutins to anchor her most dramatic looks; a choice that makes the house a likely contender beneath this voluminous gown, even if hidden from view.
