Rita Ora’s 2023 NYC Style: 7 Best Looks From Maison Alaïa Pumps to 3Juin Boots

Rita Ora has built a career-long reputation for having one of the most versatile closets in the music industry.

Whether she is performing on a global stage or navigating Manhattan sidewalks, the chart-topping singer maintains a “style chameleon” status by blending high-concept couture with directional footwear.

In early 2023, Ora descended on New York City for a high-profile press circuit, anchored by the American Heart Association’s “Go Red for Women” Red Dress Collection Concert at Jazz at Lincoln Center. This particular week in NYC became a masterclass in transitional styling, featuring everything from avant-garde Maison Alaïa heels to rugged Italian platform boots.

Below, we break down seven of Rita Ora’s most notable outfits from this period, detailing the designers and the specific footwear that defined her New York wardrobe.

Scarlet on Stage: Rita Ora Stuns in a Georges Hobeika Gown & Red Knee-High Boots

Lending her talent to the event, Rita Ora performed on stage in a sheer red gown that showcased her toned abs and legs.

The Georges Hobeika Ready-to-Wear Spring 2022/2023 look featured a cape-like design, an asymmetrical side cutout, a thigh-high slit, and a flowy one-shoulder sleeve, giving it a dramatic finish.

Underneath the almost see-through number, she wore a red tube top and a matching low-waist mini skirt for some coverage.

Taika Waititi’s wife completed the monochromatic look with a pair of red knee-high boots. She also added a selection of diamond earrings and rings, but chose not to wear her 10-carat emerald-cut Colombian green emerald engagement ring.

For her evening glam, Rita Ora wore heavy smoky eye makeup with eyeliner and mascara, along with nude lipstick and blush. She then parted her long tresses in the middle, cascading past her shoulders in tight curls.

Monochrome Red: Rita Ora in Maison Alaïa & Heart-Toe PVC Pumps

Rita Ora hit the red carpet in yet another crimson look, staying true to the event’s theme. This time, she opted for a more conservative two-piece ensemble that hugged every inch of her curves.

Her Maison Alaïa Spring 2023 outfit consisted of a turtleneck sweater with fingerless glove sleeves and a form-fitting midi skirt worn over a pair of red trousers.

Wearing the same glam and jewelry, including multiple diamond rings and earrings, Rita Ora finished off her ensemble with Alaia clear PVC pumps with a red heart-shaped toe and about 4-inch stiletto heels.

Florals With Edge: Rita Ora Mixes a Co-Ord Set & 3Juin Platform Boots

Rita Ora turned the NYC streets into her very own catwalk as she paraded a set of amazing looks while visiting the press. She couldn’t be missed in a floral co-ord featuring an ab-baring crop top and a high-waist midi skirt with a dangerously high slit on one side.

Injecting a hint of her signature edge into the feminine number, Ora layered the black-and-turquoise floral piece beneath a cropped black leather jacket.

To amp up the look, she accessorized with statement earrings and rings. She then parted her long, curly hair to one side and applied a full face of makeup in a neutral palette.

Rita Ora tied the look together with rectangular black sunglasses and a pair of glossy platform boots by 3Juin, an Italian brand launched during the pandemic by sisters Antonia, Perla, and Margherita Alessandri.

The footwear label is known for its contemporary, innovative, and glamorous take on classic shoe silhouettes, as seen on Ora’s thigh-high boots.

These shiny boots are made of patent leather and feature an over-the-knee profile with trendy square toes, thick platforms, and around 4-inch block heels.

Off-Duty Cool: Rita Ora Steps Out in DSquared2 & Pointed-Heel Boots

That same day, the Fifty Shades of Grey star was seen leaving for Elvis Duran’s Z100 radio show, wearing a chic casual outfit.

Rita Ora flashed her toned abs in an $810 DSquared2 crop hoodie with subtle branding across the front and a baseball cap hood. She teamed it with wide-leg leather pants and a long dark blue denim jacket designed with white paint splatter all over.

She elevated her height with pointy, heeled boots and gave the look some sparkle with large hoop earrings, a few rings, and a hobo bag entirely covered in crystals.

Shielding her eyes behind a pair of black sunnies, the How We Do (Party) singer wore bronzed makeup and tucked her curly tresses underneath her baseball hoodie.

Preppy With a Twist: Rita Ora in a Miu Miu Sweater Dress & Thong Boots

Rita Ora continued with her stylish press tour looks as she visited SiriusXM in a preppy Miu Miu Spring 2023 ensemble.

Braving the cold weather, the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu actress flaunted her legs in a navy-blue ribbed sweater dress with a white logo embroidery at the chest and a thigh-grazing hem.

She layered it over a long-sleeved white button-down, allowing the collar, sleeves, and hem to show.

Wrapping a black Miu Miu satin belt bag around her waist, Rita paired the knit dress with thong sandal boots, an odd choice given the chilly weather.

Her Miu Miu shoes featured a knee-high shaft, a thick thong strap, and a kitten heel. To complete the look, the curly-haired singer further accessorized with hoop earrings, black sunnies, and multiple rings.

Utility Meets Attitude: Rita Ora Pairs a Camo Hoodie With Thigh-High Platforms

Making a racy statement, Rita Ora visited Hearst Publications that day in a thigh-skimming black mini skirt and 3Juin’s patent leather platform boots.

Hiding her blonde curls beneath her hood, Rita shielded her eyes with oversized sunglasses and carried her essentials in a black handbag with gold-tone hardware.

She added several pieces of jewelry and a swipe of nude lipstick to complete her appearance.

Paris Fashion Week Polish: Rita Ora in a Fendi Coat Dress & Wedge Boots

Rita Ora flew to Paris to attend Fendi’s Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week. Naturally, the singer wore a look from the Italian luxury fashion house.

Ora looked ultra-stylish in a head-to-toe dusk-blue outfit, including a modern coat dress with a front slit, padded shoulders, silk panels, and a contrasting collar.

She appeared to be wearing nothing underneath, save for a pair of knee-high boots in the same blue tone. Cut from glossy leather, these boots have inner side zips, thick rubber platforms, and high wedge heels.

Rita clutched a beige Fendi First bag and added some sparkle with statement silver hoop earrings and rings. She then wore her curls down her back and opted for bronzed makeup with a swipe of blue lipstick to match her outfit.
