Giggling Raye suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she struggled to hold on to her unbuttoned jeans while rushing to film a new music video on Thursday.
The award-winning singer, 26, looked fabulous in an exaggerated red faux fur coat with silk lining and oversized lapels as she ran towards the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
She cut a relaxed figure in a black T-shirt, oversized mom jeans, and black Ugg boots.
But with the button on her jeans undone, the musician appeared to struggle with the garment as she tried to keep her pants up.
Raye, who was seen with a large bottle of Evian water in hand, wore no makeup during the trip and kept her look casual with a slicked-back bun.
Giggling Raye suffered a wardrobe malfunction as she struggled to hold on to her unbuttoned jeans as she rushed to film a new music video in Shepherd’s Bush on Thursday.
The award-winning singer looked fabulous in an exaggerated red faux fur coat with silk lining and oversized lapels.
Its release comes just weeks after he told the crowd at the Coachella Festival that his next album would be an exciting change from his previous work.
Even though her debut album, My 21st Century Blues, earned her a record six BRIT Awards in March, she joked that the follow-up “wouldn’t (be) what you expected.”
Since her successful first album, the singer has already gone multi-platinum with Prada and co-wrote Riiverdance, one of the songs on Beyoncé’s new country album, Cowboy Carter.
The star who has made a name for herself in R&B told the California crowd on Saturday: “The next piece of music that I’m going to put out, I’m so proud of it and I just need you to know that.” I can’t wait for you to hear it, it’s not what you expected.’
It also came a day after his collaboration with Little Mix star Perrie Edwards was announced for the latter’s debut solo album.
Raye’s nine-track set at the Empire Polo Club in Indio consisted of seven of her best songs from My 21st Century Blues, as well as Prada and her unreleased single Let There Be Light.
She performed in a female-dominated opening weekend of the festival, including a stunning appearance by Billie Eilish during Lana Del Rey’s performance on Friday night.
Also on Friday, as Raye prepared to take the Mojave stage the next day, Perrie (removing her last name) released her debut single, Forget About Us, co-written by Ed Sheeran.
She cut a relaxed figure in a black T-shirt, oversized mom jeans, and black Ugg boots.

Its release comes just weeks after he told the crowd at the Coachella Festival that his next album would be an exciting change from his previous work.
Last month he won a record six BRIT Awards for his debut, My 21st Century Blues.
The singer’s nine-song set included seven highlights from her first album, the multi-platinum hit Prada and her unreleased single Let There Be Light.
Perrie also announced that a second collaboration with Ed, 33, will appear on the album, as will a song with Raye.
“Walking into the studio with her was ridiculous,” the 30-year-old gushed.
“She just oozes stardom, I can’t explain it; I think she’s one of the greatest artists of our generation.”
“I’ve been very lucky that it’s been really nice to work with the people I’ve idolized; there haven’t been any big egos or intimidating moments, I think that’s what made the experience so special for me.”
Perrie is yet to reveal when her debut album will be released, as is also the case with Raye and the BRIT star’s second album.
In a 2023 interview about the Grammy snub, he insisted that it has “barely scratched the surface of what I know I can give musically.”
She added on
“The Grammys are awarded for the best that music has to offer and I have barely scratched the surface of what I know musically I can give (sic).”
Raye became the first artist in history to win six awards in a single night at the BRIT Awards in March.
However, the Prada singer felt her career was falling apart just 18 months before her triumph at the ceremony.
The day before Raye took the stage at Coachella, Perrie Edwards released her debut single, and Raye will appear on a follow-up song.
In an album with a star-studded feature set, the Little Mix star collaborated with Ed Sheeran for his new hit, Forget About Us.
Neither Perrie nor Raye have announced release dates for the albums they have announced.
Raye was worried her musical dream was fading less than two years ago when she had to beg her agent not to abandon her.
She told The Times: ‘I’m happy to be here: 18 months ago my career had gone to (hell). I remember seeing my agent live at a concert.
“I approached him with tears in my eyes and begged him not to give up on me. I told him he had more fight in me. A week later he put on this little tour.
‘There were one hundred tickets per place; I sat at the piano for two hours, talking to the audience about my story so far. If anyone had said then that I would be at the O2 in less than two years, even I would have thought they were crazy.’
Three years ago, Raye parted ways with his label Polydor Records after accusing them of refusing to release his albums and relaunched his career as an independent artist.
