Rita Ora commanded attention at the 2024 Fashion Awards in London with a look that combined masculine elements of ’80s power dressing and fantastical details, balanced with subtle, feminine touches.

For the red carpet, Ora chose an oversized grey blazer layered over a pinstriped collared shirt, accented with a polka-dot salmon-hued tie. Her accessories amplified the look’s boldness, featuring large spiral silver earrings and a multitude of steampunk-inspired rings and bangles stacked to mimic a gauntlet.

Completing her edgy ensemble was her striking blonde mullet, styled with spiked edges at the front and softened with curls at the back. Ora completed her look with a sparkling orange lip as a final touch of metallic boldness.
