Rita Ora changes her look!
The “Let You Love Me” singer, 34, hit the red carpet at the 2024 British Fashion Awards on Monday (December 2) in a head-turning ensemble – and debuted a striking new hairstyle.
Ora arrived at London’s Royal Albert Hall for the event, hosted by the British Fashion Council and presented by Pandora, in an ’80s punk-inspired look. She wore a baggy gray suit, loads of chunky silver accessories and a spiky blonde mullet – and matched her bleached brows for the transformation.

A departure from her previous long, dirty-blonde tresses, the mullet has not been confirmed to be a new style or wig. And, while the gravity-defying ‘do was undoubtedly the main reason for the look, Ora’s red carpet cut was daring from head to toe.

The star combined an oversize gray jacket and wide pants in a darker shade of gray. Underneath the double-breasted jacket – which she only buttoned at the bottom for a looser, more casual feel – she added a pop of pastel color with a few mismatched patterns.

The Masked singer the alum rocked a salmon polka dot tie draped over a striped button-up top and tied in even more shades of gray with a stack of chunky silver bracelets. Her ears were also silver – she wore a pair of chunky spiral earrings that poked through both of her piercings.
Meanwhile, Ora mixed metals on her hands, but kept things chunky and stacked, cramming her fingers with gold, silver, and jeweled rings.
She paired the metallic highlights even more with her bold glam look, with a shimmery rust-colored lip and a bold, dark eye look that popped against her bleached brows and locks.

Always daring in her style choices, the “For You” singer debuted a similarly impressive look — and spiky, but in a very different way — at last year’s British Fashion Awards.
At the 2023 event, Ora stole the show on the red carpet in a simple and elegant black dress, the lower back of which revealed a scalloped chrome back covering her back.
The singer kept the spotlight on her spiky and unique spine-tingling accessory by leaving not only her dress down, but glamorously simple, sporting neutral makeup and a messy updo. Adding more metallic details, chrome nails, silver earrings and metallic bracelets completed her look.

Ora also offered a peek into how she prepared for the 2023 event – and pulled together one of its most talked-about looks – in an Instagram video at the time, revealing that it took two to three hours to fit the brace for spine.
“Last year, I don’t know if you remember, we made a little noise, because we did prosthetics, a really cool thing on my face,” Ora said in the video, referring to the gill-like prosthetics she rocked in 2022 to give her a mermaid-like appearance.
“But this time,” she said, “we’re going bigger: a silver chrome back.”
