Wait, do I want a Rita Ora look? I regularly love the 32-year-old’s style for its playfulness, but her most recent look is both a little bit witchy and a little bit floral in a completely sophisticated way. Bury me in this—it’s great!
At the 2023 AmfAR Gala in Venice, the singer-actor wore yet another sheer dress, a trend she’s been staunchly at the center of, but with an elegant twist. Draped in what looks like black organza over a tan bodysuit, her dress also features a petal-like white silk sculptural element that’s absolutely gorgeous. The gown is by Stéphane Rolland, and Ora’s team accessorized it with platform sandals, a handful of rings, and a diamond necklace. Also love the bejeweled belt on the bodysuit!
If you want to see the NSFW version of the look, sans body suit, Ora posted that version over on her Instagram, and it’s really quite classy, though I get why she didn’t want to deal with All That on the pink carpet. (Also…#ad? Get your bag, Rita! I wanna be paid to wear couture!)
While you might expect an Old Hollywood hairstyle—or maybe just a chignon—with a dress this glamorous, Rita Ora kept it fresh with ’00s-style baby braids and metallic makeup.
Meanwhile, the dress’s train and color are reminiscent of her most recent Met Gala look (Prabal Gurung), though for our money this newer black-and-white ensemble is actually more Karl Lagerfeld. Anyway, she has really cornered the market on Sexy Witch this year.

May shmay! It’s spooky season for Rita.
Later in the evening, Ora swapped out the sheer dress for an even more sculptural caped white number. She kinda of looks like she’s about to tell me I won the Hunger Games but in a very editorial way.
Good job, Rita Ora. Proud of you, Rita Ora. Ten points Rita Ora.
