Rita Ora's Viral Micro Miniskirt Features an Optical Illusion Waistband

Feb 28 2023 - 9:27am

Rita Ora [1] enjoyed a studio day working on her album — and did so in grand style. The 32-year-old singer, who is ushering in a new era of music with her single "You Only Love Me," got her hands on a fresh-off-the-runway [2] Vivienne Tam outfit for the occasion. The Fall 2023 design [3] debuted at New York Fashion Week on Feb. 12, so Ora is embracing the look fresh off the runway.

The newly-married [4] star, who works with stylist Tom Eerebout [5], posed for multiple angles in Tam's colorful ensemble. The micro miniskirt boasts a waistband that gives the optical illusion of multiple layered pieces when in fact it's just one garment. She styled the pièce de résistance with a cropped Solidarity sweater, a puffy quilted NFT bag, and several patches — all an ode to Tam's futuristic take on the Metaverse [6]. Ora's long blond curls emerged from under her Lack of Color sherpa bucket hat [7] and knit balaclava cap, and she sported a glossy, caramel-lined lip, and plenty of mascara. Her deep red manicure was highlighted by multiple chunky rings and her unique emerald engagement ring [8].

For a fresh spin, Ora did opt for black Western boots underneath her knee-socks, rather than the platforms that were originally shown on the catwalk. Tam commented on Ora's Instagram post [9], writing, "Love my look on you!! Gorgeous ❤️❤️❤️," confirming the musician did it justice.

This isn't the first time we've seen Ora in a micro miniskirt. She pulled off the viral Miu Miu version [10] with the brand's polarizing thong boots in New York City on Jan. 31. Ora also showed her affinity for dramatic skirt trends in a cutout leather Nensi Dojaka silhouette [11] that she teamed with a David Koma sweater for an appearance on "Live With Kelly & Ryan" in early February. More recently, we saw her in an entirely sheer dress [12] with a feathered trim for a Grammys pre-party, and walking the streets of LA in UGG's infamous "ugly" slides [13].
