Rita Ora's style file knows no bounds.
The 33-year-old singer, actress and fashion designer constantly keeps us on our toes with her style file that is as far-ranging as her voice box, from glitzy girly mini dresses to unexpected utilitarian street style looks.
One piece that is staying firmly on her agenda for the foreseeable fashion future, however, is chunky buckled boots.
She shared an Instagram story with her 16m followers, proving that the big bad bikers are here to stay for autumn/winter '24.

Her boots are a cool-girl classic. Called the 'Sienna', they became the It-shoe of summer 2023, with tastemakers including Mia Regan, Elsa Hosk and Cindy Bruna all rocking the style in their own ways.
“The most stylish It girls have been seen wearing them on and off the runway,” Shivani Dhillon, founder of Wardrobe Couture previously told H! Fashion. It’s no surprise that requests have been flooding in for the nearly sold-out Sienna boots Shivani says, because “they are a mix of quirky and tough, you’ll be able to wear them forever.”

What are biker boots?
"Biker boots, also known as motorcycle boots or moto boots, are a type of footwear originally designed for motorcyclists. Over the years these boots have transformed from their initial intended functional purpose, (offering protection, comfort, and style while riding motorcycles) cool-girl fashion statement," H! Fashion's Orion Scott says.
"They are known for their distinctive utilitarian style, which often includes buckles, straps, and other decorative hardware. They come in various designs, from classic to more modern and trendy styles."
