The then-28-year-old singer wore a Madame double-breasted wool and cashmere-blend coat from Max Mara.

She styled her coat with an animal print dress, a fringed checkerboard scarf that says ‘HOUSE OF FUCKING HOLLAND’ from House of Holland, handcrafted acetate cat-eye Nor sunglasses, 14k solid gold small hoop earrings with a tiny set diamond from Zoe Lev Jewelry, and eye-catching Vans Old Skool Platform shoes ($39.99 – $109.99 at Zappos and Amazon).

The British singer spoke about her sense of style during a recent interview.

“Because some people think I’m bonkers when I wear my clothes as I do dress a bit crazy but I just like it, it makes me feel like I have the energy for the rest of the day,” she told Chris Evans‘ Radio 2 Breakfast Show. “I have a whole other storage unit of clothes, it’s like a factory. I haven’t had a clear out in a long time.”

Rita Ora’s coat is cut from soft wool and cashmere blend for an oversized fit that falls into a long-line hem. It is designed with notched lapels and a satin lining to create a smooth shape when layering over bulky knits.

With the iconic side stripe, the Vans Old Skool is a low-top lace-up with reinforced toecaps to withstand repeated wear, signature rubber waffle outsoles, and padded collars for support and flexibility.

Rita Ora has long been a fan of House of Holland, a British fashion brand founded by designer Henry Holland in 2008.

Known for its bold, colorful designs and playful slogan T-shirts like “I’ll Tell You Who’s Boss Kate Moss,” the label perfectly complements Rita’s vibrant and daring personal style.

In addition to her chic winter look in London, Rita Ora has showcased her love for House of Holland on multiple occasions throughout her career. One standout moment came during her Radioactive Tour in early 2013, when she lit up the London night with another eye-catching ensemble.

Not known for wearing heels with her dresses, Rita styled the colorful pompom-printed dress with a pair of Superga sneakers.

Whenever she’s in a dress or a skirt, she will wear something contrasting to her feminine outfit.

The House of Holland creation would look great with heels, agree? But then, that’s not how Rita Ora dresses. She also wore a blue beanie hat and a white handbag.
