Happy Birthday wishes are in order for triple threat actress, music maven and fashion muse Rita Ora as she celebrates her 34th birthday on November 26.

The It-Brit has been a household name ever since her first foray into the music realm back in 2007 and has since gained praise around the globe for both her talents and dress sense. 

When she’s not hosting The Masked Singer US, performing to hundreds of thousands of fans on stage or en route to her daily pilates class, Rita can usually be found sporting a slew of seriously stylish looks on the red carpet and beyond. 

From her 2024 MTV EMA hosting ensembles (there were 11 in total) to her prosthetic reptile horns at the 2023 Fashion Awards, the now 34-year-old never disappoints when it comes to fashion. 

In celebration of her birthday, we rounded up some of the taste-maker's most iconic looks from her 34 years spent earthside. 

PSA: There’s a lot (and we can't preface this face enough) of sheer looks.
