Health and wellness took centre stage on Wednesday as Rita Ora worked out at a state-of-the-art London spa. The 35-year-old singer stripped down to a mint green bikini during her visit to the Six Senses health and wellness hotel at The Whiteley in Notting Hill, where she enjoyed an innovative infrared sauna.
Taking full advantage of the luxury spa and its thirteen treatment rooms, which include a 24-hour fitness studio, biohacking equipment, and an alchemy bar, Rita also prepared her own bespoke 'burnout' tonic before throwing herself into a tailored workout. She shared photos on Instagram, showing off her abs while wearing a skintight gym vest and shorts.
The gym session comes after Rita decided to skip the prestigious Met Gala in May, having previously attended the fashion event on ten occasions. The singer is typically a stalwart at the biggest night in fashion, but instead shared a highlights reel on her Instagram Story. Her absence comes amid growing backlash against the event, with protests reaching fever pitch hours before kick-off. Fury grew over the involvement of Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez, who bankrolled much of the event.
Over the years, Rita has showcased incredible looks on the red carpet and was deemed a big supporter of the event. However, fans were left disappointed by her skipping the gala, after also missing it in 2025. Rather than attending, she posed for a series of sizzling thirst traps, sporting an array of skimpy bikinis that showcased her incredible figure. One included a metallic green two-piece, which she teamed with a checked cap in a photo taken on her phone in front of a floral backdrop. She also shared a photo in a bathroom wearing a black knit bikini with a bandeau style top and brief bottoms. Included in her post was a picture of her husband Taika Waititi, taken from behind as he walked ahead of her.
Rita recently revealed how she is preparing her body for menopause after freezing her eggs in her twenties. The singer explained how she had the time of her life in her twenties when her career soared, and she was enjoying every second. But when she turned 30 five years ago, she noticed major shifts in how she was feeling physically, leading to a complete overhaul of her fitness regime and the mindset that she should treat her body like an athlete.
She told Women's Health UK: 'I don't want people to get confused with [my health journey] being about me being obsessed with my physical appearance, because I think sometimes that line gets very blurred. It's all to do with how I feel.' As well as taking up weight training, the chart-topper has educated herself on menopause after watching her mother go through breast cancer treatment, which stimulated menopause at an early age. 'I'm trying to get ahead of it and learn about it,' she explained, adding: 'I learned a lot from Davina [McCall] while working with her on The Masked Singer.'
Rita, who is stepmother to her 50-year-old husband Taika Waititi's daughters, also feels secure with her fertility health after freezing her eggs twice, once aged 24 and again aged 27. '[Back then] a doctor told me it was a really good time to preserve the best quality [eggs],' she said. 'It was actually the best advice, because now I'm in my mid-thirties and I have a lot of friends really trying to figure it out. It will just be more of an expansion when the time comes. Davina is always like, "Hurry up – you can do it!"'
