Rita Ora Headlines Austrian Ski Season Opening
British pop sensation Rita Ora made a dramatic entrance as she helped launch the start of the ski season in Austria on Saturday night. The 35-year-old singer delivered not just a high-energy performance but a complete fashion spectacle that captivated attendees at the official opening event.
Winter Wonderland Fashion Statements
Before taking the stage, Ora posed beside a Christmas tree wearing a grey long-sleeved sweatshirt-style bodysuit paired with sheer black tights. The ensemble featured knee-high black lace-up boots with tall heels and blade-style soles specifically designed for walking in snowy conditions, giving the outfit an edgy twist.
The Hot Right Now singer completed her pre-performance look with oversized tinted glasses and wore her hair long and straight. She added a brown fur jacket as she playfully posed in the snow before making her way to the stage.
For her actual performance, Ora opted for a glamorous makeup palette that included a striking swipe of red lipstick. However, it was her stage outfit that truly turned heads. She showcased her impressive figure in tiny black leather hot pants paired with a bold cropped jacket featuring oversized shaggy faux-fur sleeves and leopard-print panels.
The jacket was worn open to reveal her midriff and a fake sun-burst tattoo at her centre. She completed this look with another pair of knee-high black boots, sheer tights, statement rings, and her signature oversized tinted glasses.
Spiritual Beliefs and Backstage Rituals
In a recent interview on the Happy Hour Overheard podcast, the hitmaker revealed she believes she might possess witch-like abilities that run in her family. "My grandma was for sure a witch," Ora stated, adding "I think for sure I have the gene."
The singer, who is married to filmmaker Taika Waititi, described her wedding as "spiritual" and has previously shared her love for yoga and astrology readings. She maintains a ritual that helps her feel centred: "I do my weekly reads, my tarot cards... Ultimately, as long as something gives you hope it's all you want."
The Let You Love Me hitmaker confirmed she "100 per cent" believes in astrology, describing it as something that "should be a religion." She explained: "I love the idea of you feeling like spirits are guiding you in whatever path."
Unlike many performers, Ora keeps her pre-stage routine remarkably calm. She admitted: "Some people love crazy music, take shots or whatever... I'm very not rock 'n' roll before I go on stage. I'm really athletic, I love to stretch, put calming music on, steam my throat. It's all very chill."
The singer previously confessed to consulting a fortune teller who "changed my life" with her advice, further emphasising her spiritual inclinations that complement her dynamic stage presence and fashion-forward approach to performance.
