Rita Ora Turns NYC Into Her Runway With 3 Bold Looks Ahead of The Hill Concert

Rita Ora hit the press circuit in New York early this week, turning heads with a series of bold, fashion-forward looks before her most recent Brooklyn show.

The British pop star headlined a free, one-night-only concert at Brooklyn Bridge Park on July 11, 2025, officially launching the fourth edition of The Hill in New York. The event kicked off a weekend of live Wimbledon screenings, giving fans a chance to experience the iconic tournament on the New York City waterfront.

Rita delivered a masterclass in personal style, effortlessly transitioning from street sporty to rockstar glam. Whether she was stepping out in an embellished mini dress and oversized blazer, baring her abs in parachute pants and a bra top, or commanding attention in a leather corset and knee-high boots, Rita proved she’s not just a performer on stage but a style icon on the sidewalk, too.

Let’s have a closer look at Rita Ora’s most recent style slay!

Rockstar Western: Rita Ora Stuns in Leather Corset, Hotpants & Cowboy Boots

While out and about in Midtown, New York, Rita Ora drew attention in a fierce ensemble that channeled pure rockstar energy. She stepped out in a black leather corset adorned with silver studs, grommets, and chain detailing, exuding rebellious charm. It was layered over a red lace bra that peeked through just enough to show a seductive flash of color.

The ensemble was provocative from every angle, but it was exactly what I’d come to expect from Rita. She teamed her daring top with black leather hot pants that showed off her shapely legs wrapped in nude tights, adding an even more seductive edge to the look!

She styled her hotpants with a scarf-like element, emblazoned with eye-catching red lettering across the front, a striking detail that matched her red lace bra and tied the look together.

Adding an extra layer of attitude to her already daring, rebellious look, Rita topped off her outfit with a black leather biker jacket.

I commend the Hot Right Now singer for styling with silver jewelry, which stood out against her black leather outfit and enhanced its edgy appeal. She layered several chunky chain necklaces around her neck, fastened a pair of geometric silver hoops to her ears, and adorned her manicured hands with statement rings.

Infusing Western drama into her rockstar-inspired look, Rita slipped into a pair of black leather knee-high cowboy boots. Their glossy finish gave them a sleek edge, while the chunky silver chains wrapped around the ankles added to the rebellious glam of her ensemble. They feature pointed toes and stacked heels, adding height and structure to the bold silhouette.

Sparkling Tailoring: Studded Rabanne Blazer, Mini Skirt & Jimmy Choo Heels

For her appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Rita Ora gave classic tailoring a dazzling upgrade in a three-piece look by Rabanne. She wore a shimmering vest with a matching pleated mini skirt and a blazer, all of which were covered in tiny silver studs that created a mesmerizing, light-catching effect.

At first glance, I thought Ora was wearing a mini dress underneath the blazer. But it turned out to be a long, studded vest. The stunning piece features a structured crew neck and a high-low hem, creating a sleek and edgy silhouette. What made this piece stand out were the daring cutout sides, held together by wide buckled fastenings that added an unexpected twist to the otherwise sleek design. You can find this stunning vest at Farfetch, priced at $1,923 (from $2,432).

While I would’ve loved to see that daring detail on full display, Rita opted to keep things a bit more modest by layering the vest with an oversized black wool blazer. This jacket, also by Rabanne, featured silver embellishments that shimmered like rising bubbles, bringing life to the classic pointed peaked lapels. The same silver studs adorned the half-belt detail at the back, ensuring Rita sparkled from all angles. This blazer is available for $1,264 (from $2,320) at Farfetch.

Rita also layered a striped shirt underneath the vest, letting the collar peek out from the neckline for a polished touch.

Going for another leggy look, Ora teamed her top with a pleated mini skirt. Crafted from black wool, the skirt featured box pleats covered with silver embellishments that matched the sparkle of her studded vest. The hemline hit several inches above her knees, allowing her to showcase her toned legs. It’s currently on sale for $442 (down from $1,740) at Farfetch.

As if the sparkles were not enough, Rita took it a step further with gleaming silver accessories. She wore a pair of statement earrings and carried a silver clutch adorned with crystals. She also accessorized with chunky black rings that complemented her oversized space-age sunglasses, adding a futuristic twist to her already striking outfit.

For a high-shine finish, Rita Ora stepped into the Jimmy Choo “Ixia” pumps—a sculptural update to the classic black patent heel. Crafted in Italy, the Ixia reimagines the timeless pointed-toe silhouette with a modern twist: a squared vamp and the signature “drop” heel that brings a sleek, architectural edge.

Her pair featured glossy black patent leather, one of the many luxe finishes available in the line, which also includes satin, mirrored leather, velvet, and even crystal-embellished styles. With a 95mm (3.7-inch) heel, the Ixia 95 delivers polish and poise in equal measure—an understated yet glamorous complement to Ora’s bold, high-contrast ensemble.

These pumps are available for $598 (from $822) at Farfetch. You can find many more variations of the Ixia pumps at Mytheresa.

Utility Chic: Parachute Pants, Bra Top & Purple Heels

Rita Ora turned heads in an effortlessly cool street-style look while out and about at South Street Seaport earlier this week. Looking summer-chic, she stepped out in a tiny black bra top that showed off her toned abs, paired with oversized navy parachute pants by The Attico.

Taking utilitarian fashion to new heights, these statement-making trousers featured an exaggerated parachute silhouette with ultra-wide legs that tapered into cuffed hems for a structured finish. They were also designed with wide belt straps wrapped around the legs like a harness, adding a utilitarian twist that emphasized their industrial-chic appeal.

The trousers also boasted exaggerated cargo pockets that added function and flair to the design. With their bold silhouette and effortlessly cool design, they captured The Attico’s signature mix of practicality and modern aesthetic. You can purchase these trousers for $2,050 (down from $2,407) at Farfetch.

Rita also had an oversized black jacket draped over her arms, adding a layer of cool and a touch of laid-back attitude to the look.

Blending streetwear style with high fashion, Rita Ora gave her chic summer look a glamorous edge with silver jewelry. She wore a bold collar necklace adorned with chunky silver baubles that instantly drew the eye and a chunky pair of silver earrings that gave her streetwear extra shine. She also wore oval-framed acetate sunnies, adding a retro-cool vibe to the look.

Completing the ensemble were purple pumps with pointy toes and ruched vamps. Although parachute pants are usually paired with rugged boots like Timberlands, Ora took a different approach by adding heels to the casual ensemble for a touch of unexpected elegance.
