Rita Ora pulled out all the sartorial stops to draw attention to the release of her latest single, and my goodness did she nail it.
The How We Do singer isn’t one to shy away from style experimentation and pushing boundaries on the latest trends – from her funky Chet Lo boots, to her literal makeup gills sported with a Nensi Dojaka SS23 dress. Which is exactly why she has the unofficial title of certified fashion-muse placed amongst her accolades as a platinum award-winning singer.

Ora took numerous 2022’s trends to a whole new level in one ensemble. She managed to combine: underwear as outerwear, the sheer dress trend and goth glam, all in one.
She wore a black strapless bra and high waisted brief set, adorned with floral embroidery, tulle edges and bold black panelling as the base layer for the ultimate risque look.
They both looked bewitching in black

She layered a floral netted maxi skirt over her bottom half, with matching ¾ length gloves to complete the mesh ensemble, giving a mega contemporary take on a feminine silhouette.
Perhaps she took inspiration from Jenna Ortega, Dove Cameron or Tish Weinstock, as the look oozed goth-glam – a sartorial movement that dominated the fashion sphere this winter. This agenda was elevated by her oversized bijouterie. A giant cross necklace, chunky iridescent earrings and oversized bangles added allure, complemented by her shimmery grey eyeshadow and graphic eyeliner.

Rita took to Instagram posting a PDA clip of her and husband Taika Waititi kissing and watching fireworks on New Year’s Eve and played a clip of her new single. She said “SURPRISE. I’M BACK! You Only Love Me ? XX/01/23 #RO3”.
Rita also hashtagged #RO3 at the end of her recent social media post with Taika Waititi and at the end of a post on Monday saying “HAPPY NEW YEAR ?✨ 2023… The year of #RO3 ??”. Her Instagram page now has a highlight called ‘RO3’, which contains her preview of You Only Love Me.

This would also be her third studio album… coincidence? I think not.
