Rita Ora made a whopping 11 costume changes and went down in history as the first person to host the ceremony for the third time, at the star-studded MTV EMAs at the Manchester Co-Op Live Arena on Sunday.
The singer, 33, showed off her stunning figure in eye-catching outfits ranging from dramatic dresses to skintight jumpsuits.
Rita hit the red carpet for the first time, where she showed off her PDA with husband Taikia Waititi, 48, in a light pink dress adorned with hundreds of feathers and a corset-style top.
She boosted her height with huge silk strappy heels and wore her brunette tresses in a wavy style while opting for glamorous makeup.
The stunner then set pulses racing when she went braless and donned a completely sheer cape look to open the show, with only metallic embellishments added to maintain her modesty.
The dress revealed her skimpy underwear underneath and huge platform boots, while she accessorised with extravagant gold jewelery including oversized bracelets, cuffs and claws.
In two other looks, Rita showed off her incredibly toned abs in a silver metal bustier and fringed pants, as well as a bandeau top paired with a huge navy princess skirt.
For a somber show paying tribute to her late friend Liam Payne, the singer opted for a sleek black suit as she gave a speech on stage.
Rita previously presented the awards show in London in 2017, as well as in Düsseldorf in 2022, where she co-hosted alongside her famous husband.
The evening saw Taylor Swift dominate the winners’ board, but the Blank Space hitmaker, 34, did not attend the star-studded ceremony but still managed to win three awards.
Taylor, who is about to begin the final leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour in Canada, won in the Best Artist and Best Live Artist categories.
The Best Video award also went to Taylor with Post Malone for her hit Fortnight from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department.
Taylor missed the awards held in the United Kingdom because she was attending her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s football game, where his team, the Kansas City Chiefs, played the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium.
There were only metallic decorations to preserve her modesty.
There was also a dramatic queue draped behind her as she crossed the stage.
In another stunning look, Rita showed off her abs in a black bandeau top with a huge navy princess skirt.
The look also accentuated her tiny waist while ensuring all eyes were on it.
Rita adorned with silver jewelry including a crucifix and a chain from nose to ear.
The singer and actress oozed confidence in front of a large crowd as millions more watched from home.
Another wardrobe change saw her adopt a futuristic look with a silver metal bustier and fringed jeans.
