Rita Ora covered up in a nude dress as she returned to her hotel with husband Taika Waititi in the early hours of the morning after attending the Met Gala after-party. The 33-year-old singer had earlier sparked controversy with her revealing beaded outfit on the red carpet.
For the Met Gala, Ora wore a Marni creation consisting of a nude bodysuit and colourful beads that she described as dating back to the first and second century BC. The ensemble, which she called a 'necklace', adhered to the 'Garden of Time' dress code.
At the after-party, Ora changed into a see-through skirt made of white plastic beads and flowers, paired with an oversized white feathered wrap. She covered her chest as she smiled at cameras while returning to The Mark Hotel with her director husband.
Ora discussed her outfit with Extra, explaining that the beads were handpicked from North Africa and Europe, embodying 'timeless beauty'. She noted that 'playing with nature and time' was 'really unique' and that understanding beauty was 'really, really cool'.
The singer also joked about the practical challenges of her attire, saying that navigating the stairs was fine but 'going to the toilet's another thing'. Taika Waititi kept his look simple in a light shirt and blue suit.
