Rita Ora turns heads in a sheer mesh costume at the Invictus Games closing ceremony before mingling with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle backstage
Rita Ora showed off her toned physique as she took to the stage in Germany at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games on Saturday.
The Praising You hitmaker, 32, looked incredible in a figure-hugging bodysuit that clung to her curves before slipping into a glamorous dress as she joined Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, backstage.
The Invictus Games help injured and ill personnel and veterans from various countries recover through competitive adaptive sports.
Inspired by his visit to the US Warrior Games in 2013, Prince Harry founded the Games as a similar sporting event for injured military personnel.
Rita appeared alongside Sam Ryder and performed six of her hit songs.

Elsewhere at the ceremony, Prince Harry became emotional during his moving speech at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, earlier this evening.
His five-minute speech paid tribute to those who took part in the week-long competitions, which were established in 2014 for veterans to represent and participate in their province.
Meghan stood next to her husband in a glowing green dress. During the ceremony, she couldn’t hide her pride as she beamed at Team USA as they took their seats for the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games.
She watched admiringly as the team walked on stage to Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA. Meghan clapped along to the song as it echoed around the Merkur Spiel-Arena and blew kisses to the team.
Prince Harry also joined the applause in the front row and took to the stage to thank people for coming.
