Rita Ora Grounds Her Bold ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Look With Toga Pulla Buckled Boots

When Rita Ora arrived at ABC Studios in Los Angeles on September 8, 2015, her street-to-stage style offered a masterclass in modern Western aesthetics.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform “Body On Me” alongside Chris Brown, the British singer opted for an ensemble that balanced rugged Americana with high-fashion Japanese craftsmanship.

Rita transitioned from the sidewalk to the spotlight by pairing distressed Citizens of Humanity jeans with a striking beaded cutout top.

However, the focal point of the look was her choice of footwear: a pair of buckled suede-and-leather boots from the Japanese cult-favorite label Toga Pulla.
