Rita Ora sent temperatures soaring when she attended the Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
The Let You Love Me hitmaker, 33, was the spitting image of rapper Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori, 29, as she headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute benefit gala wearing a bold set of beads.
The beauty bared everything and put on a very daring display in a multicolored tinsel dress that highlighted her slender figure.
Without leaving much to the imagination, Rita posed up a storm as she left her swanky hotel and headed to the star-studded event with husband Taika Waititi, 48.
The How To Be Lonely singer kept her accessories to a minimum, allowing the bold dress to speak for itself.
Rita Ora sent temperatures soaring on Monday when she left the Carlyle Hotel in New York City in a daring rhinestone ensemble during the 2024 Met Gala.
The Let You Love Me hitmaker, 33, was the spitting image of rapper Kanye West’s wife Bianca Censori, 29, (pictured in February) as she headed to the Costume Institute charity gala from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The beauty bared everything and put on a very daring display in a multicolored tinsel dress that highlighted her slender figure.
Rita added inches to her frame in a pair of nude stilettos and sported a flawless makeup palette consisting of striking light blue eyeshadow.
To top off the look, Rita sported a short, wet-looking hairstyle, instead of her usual long wavy locks.
Meanwhile, her husband Taika cut a quirky figure in a chocolate-colored three-piece leather suit.
In some snaps, the New Zealand filmmaker and actor can be seen helping Rita readjust her outfit to get the perfect shots on the carpet.
It comes after Kanye and Bianca were noticeably absent from the Met Gala this year after Met Gala director Anna Wintour vowed not to work with him again following his anti-Semitic rants.
He has not been invited since 2022, however, he was previously known as a Met Gala patron, as his last appearance was in 2019.
So instead of attending the Met Gala, he and Bianca spent Monday more than 2,000 miles away continuing their move out of their Los Angeles mansion.
Kim and Kanye’s last appearance at the Met Gala was in 2019, when she stunned in a gold wet look and Kanye wore a $42 black jacket.
Leaving little to the imagination, Rita posed up a storm as she left her swanky hotel and headed to the star-studded event with husband Taika Waititi, 48.
The singer opted to keep accessories to a minimum, allowing the bold dress to speak for itself as she carried her essentials in a gold mini bag.
To top off the look, Rita sported a short, wet-looking hairstyle, instead of her usual long wavy locks.
The 2022 Met Gala was canceled due to Covid, and in 2021, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye, citing irreconcilable differences.
However, she still brought a bit of it to that year’s Met Gala, completely hiding her body, including her face, in a skin-tight black suit designed by Balenciaga, Ye’s frequent collaborator.
The Costume Institute’s Spring Exhibition is held on the first Monday in May each year and is held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Fashion Awakening, while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue Anna Wintour.
Meanwhile, her husband Taika cut a quirky figure in a chocolate-colored three-piece leather suit.
The proud husband seemed all smiles as he showed off his beautiful wife for the cameras.
Honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
“This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of professional accomplishments and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala.” Fashion shared.
The exhibit will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection, and many of the pieces are too fragile to be worn again.
All pieces will be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI and more while playing land, sea and sky themes.
“It’s very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,” Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu curator in charge of the Costume Institute, said of the upcoming exhibition.

“One thing I hope this exhibition activates is that sensory appreciation of fashion.”
Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham will host, while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview the stars on the red carpet.
