Rita Ora Brings Edgy Glamour to New York Ahead of New Year’s Eve Hosting Gig
Songstress Rita Ora brought her signature edgy glamour to the streets of New York on Friday, stepping out in a full leather ensemble ahead of her hosting duties for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Channeling biker chic, the pop star layered a plunging leather waistcoat over a mock neck top, pairing the tops with a matching maxi skirt that highlighted her enviable figure. A statement fur-lined leather moto jacket added extra rockstar edge, while heeled boots lengthened her modelesque 5’5” frame.
Rita added a fur-lined biker jacket and boosted her height with a pair of heeled boots.
Ora accessorized with silver jewelry including dome rings and bracelets. With her bright blonde locks styled sleek and straight, a swipe of red lipstick provided the perfect pop of color. Between the all-black outfit, crimson pout, and jet black manicure, Rita’s look exuded Gotham City attitude.
The 33-year-old British-Albanian talent has traveled across the pond to co-host the iconic New Year’s celebration this year alongside TV personality Ryan Seacrest, who has led festivities for nearly two decades. Ora follows in the footsteps of legendary supermodels Heidi Klum and Jenny McCarthy taking the mantle. She explored the local sights as she headed out on a picturesque walk on Boxing Day, sharing snaps from the outing.
The songstress took to Instagram after arriving stateside, sharing a stunning snap overlooking the Manhattan skyline. “Started from the bottom now we here! NYC see you tonight,” she captioned the photo of her leather-clad figure posed perfectly against the urban vista.
Prior to jetsetting to the Big Apple, Ora shared heartwarming Christmas images from New Zealand where she celebrated the holiday with director husband Taika Waititi. The pair, who secretly tied the knot earlier this year, have been soaking up together time Down Under between projects. “Merry Xmas! Love and happiness to you all! Here’s to 2024!” she wrote alongside the joyful family photos.
While the “Hot Right Now” hitmaker has been devoted to festive fun with loved ones as of late, she’s been intensely focused fashion-wise while making press rounds in New York ahead of the most glamorous party night of the year. Ora has quickly positioned herself as one of music’s most stylish stars, renowned for her bold, sexy, and avant-garde ensembles on and off the stage.
The multi-hyphenate entertainer has also been diversifying her creative output, stepping behind the lens into the world of documentary filmmaking. Ora has been steeping herself in stories centered around her native country Kosovo, collaborating with the team behind the acclaimed Nirvana project.
Wherever Rita Ora may roam in 2023 and whatever mediums her dynamic talents steer towards, one thing is for sure – she’ll look impossibly chic while doing it. The star’s standout street style snap in New York epitomized her signature fusion of glam and edge. She continues to be one pop culture’s most compelling style icons.
