Rita Ora turns up the heat ias she launches Austria’s ski season

Rita Ora made a striking appearance on Saturday night as she kicked off the start of the ski season in Austria, delivering a high-energy performance paired with a series of bold, fashion-forward looks.

The 35-year-old hitmaker turned heads even before hitting the stage, posing beside a Christmas tree in a grey sweatshirt-style bodysuit, sheer black tights and knee-high lace-up boots fitted with blade-style soles to help her stride through the snow. She accessorised the look with oversized tinted glasses and wore her hair long and sleek.

Adding a playful winter touch, Rita later wrapped herself in a brown faux-fur jacket as she made her way to the stage.

Once under the spotlight, the Hot Right Now singer amped up the glamour, slipping into tiny black leather hot pants and a cropped jacket with shaggy faux-fur sleeves and leopard-print panels. Worn open to reveal her midriff, the outfit flaunted a faux sunburst tattoo at her centre. She paired the look with another set of knee-high boots, sheer tights and statement jewellery.

Rita, who is married to filmmaker Taika Waititi, opted for a bold makeup palette, including a standout red lip, enhancing the dramatic edge of her stage presence.

Her appearance comes shortly after she revealed on the Happy Hour Overheard podcast that she believes she may have inherited a “witch gene” from her grandmother. The singer shared that mystical practices run in her family and admitted to relying on tarot readings and astrology for guidance.

Rita, who frequently speaks about her love for astrology and spirituality, has previously described her wedding to Waititi as a “spiritual” ceremony and says she believes astrology “should be a religion.”

Her latest winter performance showcased not just her powerhouse vocals, but her signature daring fashion — ensuring the ski season launched with a stylish, high-octane bang.
