Rita Ora, the 35-year-old singer and actress, flaunted her toned abs in a striking bright blue crochet dress as she jetted from the Oscars to the He Bled Neon premiere at SXSW on Monday. The star took to Instagram to share glimpses of her hectic day, landing in Austin by private jet from Los Angeles after the Academy Awards.
Red Carpet Sensation at SXSW
Rita looked sensational on the red carpet for her new action film, wearing a daring blue crochet gown that highlighted her amazing figure. The halterneck design featured cut-outs that revealed her white underwear and a large slit on the midriff, perfectly displaying her abs. She styled her chic pixie-cut in soft curls, accessorising simply with diamond earrings and a pair of elegant heels.
Social Media Snaps and Lingerie Poses
On social media, the How We Do hitmaker shared a series of sizzling snaps from her trip, including a mirror selfie where she slipped into sexy white lace lingerie. She looked incredible in the two-piece set, layering a white and pink lace gown over the top for a glamorous effect. In another post, Rita was seen enjoying a plate of ribs while wearing a white and brown fur coat, which she layered over a pink satin dress and gold shoes outside a restaurant.
She captioned the images: 'My last 24 hours - LA - Austin SXSW (our film He Bled Neon premiered there yay!) @drewkirsch - LA.' Rita stars in Drew Kirsch's new action-thriller movie alongside Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole and The Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley. The film follows Ethan's journey to Las Vegas after his estranged brother's mysterious death, unravelling a dark web of crime.
Oscars Party Antics with a Feather Hat
Just hours before the SXSW premiere, Rita poked fun at her own fashion-forward outfit at the Vanity Fair Oscars party on Sunday. She commanded attention in a dramatically large hat made of thousands of black feathers, so large it nearly obstructed her vision. Paired with a corsetted sheer gown from Tamara Ralph's SS26 Couture collection, the racy number featured an intricate floral pattern studded with gems and a black satin skirt tied into a large bow at the back.
Despite looking incredible, Rita joked that the hat made her resemble a lampshade, quipping to The People Gallery: 'I might go in there and act like I'm part of the furniture.' In her typical humorous style, she mimed being a lamp with a straight-backed posture. Fans raved about the look on social media, with comments praising her bold fashion choice.
Hat Removal and Star-Studded Mingling
However, the hat's large size forced Rita to remove it minutes after entering the bash, as it impeded her ability to mingle. She was spotted carrying the feathered piece in her hand, revealing her curly blonde pixie-cut underneath. Without the hat, she leaned in for conversations with actor Chris Evans and Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner. Rita later left the party beaming and waving, hat in hand, alongside Rocketman star Taron Egerton.
This whirlwind 24-hour period showcased Rita Ora's versatility, from high-fashion antics at the Oscars to a stunning red carpet appearance at SXSW, all while promoting her new film He Bled Neon.
