Rita Ora ended 2024 with a one-woman fashion show on New Year’s Eve.
While many around the world were counting down the minutes to the new year, we were busy counting all the looks the British singer managed to wear while co-hosting and performing on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in New York City on Dec. 31.
Before kicking off the festivities, the Masked Singer star, 34, was photographed in an eye-popping flamingo-pink outfit that consisted of a furry cropped coat with a scarf, barrel trousers, a balaclava-style hood, retro pink sunglasses and burgundy boots.
Earlier in the day, Ora also snapped photos in a leopard print-lined bomber jacket, camel-colored pants and a pair of brown pointed-toe boots. The look coordinated with the leopard-print coat and thigh-high boots she wore later in the night.
When it was officially showtime, the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer pulled off four other outfit changes, an impressive feat considering the pouring rain throughout the night.
Ora appeared in three different ensembles that centered statement coats. One of them was an elegant white double-pocket coat with a large rosette detail on the shoulder while another was a baby blue coat with fringe and silver bow motifs that she paired with a matching miniskirt. In a video shared by actor Matthew Friend on TikTok, she could also be seen in a floor-length embellished black coat that she layered over a sequin turtleneck.
She also performed on stage decked out in purple from head-to-toe. Her hooded jacket, button-up shirt, tie, skirt tights and boots were all shades of violet.

Of course, Ora included a very sexy skin-baring look too. Bringing the no-pants trend into the new year, she rocked a black lace top with a sweetheart-neckline and bikini underwear under sheer tights, which she paired with a furry oversize coat and boots. She accessorized with sunglasses and sparkly rectangle earrings.
Speaking with PEOPLE exclusively before the ball drop, Ora said she was “grateful” to be returning to the program after making her hosting debut in 2023. “I love Ryan — having him just be with me and give me that sense of confidence is amazing.”
This past year, Ora not only made a splash on the red carpet, from going “naked” at the 2024 Met Gala to completely transforming her look at the British Fashion Awards, but she also forayed into beauty with her performance-driven haircare line, Typebea, which she launched after spontaneously chopping off her signature long hair in February.
