Rita Ora Dazzles in Temperley London Gown and Louboutin So Kate Pumps at Capital FM Summertime Ball

Back in June 2015, Rita Ora was on a whirlwind press run following the release of her single “Poison.” One of her most memorable stops was the Capital FM Summertime Ball in London, where she turned heads not only with her performance but also with her fashion choices.

Showcasing her playful side and bold style, Rita hit the red carpet in a striking Temperley London gown paired with Christian Louboutin’s iconic So Kate pumps—a timeless shoe that remains a celebrity favorite to this day.

Backstage Banter: Rita Ora’s Playful Interview Interruption

Rita also showed her fun side backstage, proving that even the most formal press interviews don’t have to feel stiff—especially after her own chat was unexpectedly interrupted, leading her to return the favor with a cheeky interruption of her own.

Radio jock Ant Payne had the surprise of his life when he unknowingly interrupted Rita Ora’s ongoing interview, only to have the 24-year-old singer fight back by interrupting his.

On the red carpet, Rita Ora dazzled in a floor-length sheer gown from the Temperley London Fall 2015 collection.

Founded in 2000 by designer Alice Temperley MBE, the luxury British label is celebrated for its modern bohemian aesthetic—feminine, confident, and effortlessly chic.

The gown’s colorful embroidery perfectly captured that ethos, while Rita’s footwear choice elevated the look even further: Christian Louboutin’s legendary “So Kate” pumps in black patent.

The Legacy and Design of Christian Louboutin’s So Kate Pump

First introduced as a tribute to supermodel Kate Moss, the “So Kate” has become one of the most recognizable shoes in modern fashion.

Defined by its sky-high 120mm stiletto heel, sharply pointed toe, and plunging vamp that reveals just the right amount of toe cleavage, the pump embodies sensual minimalism.

Why the So Kate Pump Reigns as a Red-Carpet Favorite

The extreme arch and flawless silhouette create a dramatic, leg-lengthening effect, while the flash of Louboutin’s signature red sole makes it instantly iconic. Despite its reputation for being notoriously tricky to wear, the “So Kate” is a favorite among A-list stars like Zendaya, cementing its place as the ultimate red-carpet heel.

By pairing Temperley’s bohemian artistry with Louboutin’s seductive elegance, Rita struck a balance of whimsy and timeless glamour.
