Rita Ora and her husband, director Taika Waititi, shared affectionate moments on the red carpet at the premiere of Disney's "Descendants: Wicked Wonderland" in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The couple appeared "loved-up" as they kissed outside the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Ora, 35, wore a daring sheer fishtail gown that paid homage to her character, the Queen of Hearts, in the film. The strapless corset ensemble featured a white satin bodysuit underneath and was accessorized with bejewelled red gloves and silver drop earrings. Her blonde hair was styled straight.
Waititi, 50, opted for a suede jacket and trouser coordination, paired with a white T-shirt, a gold chain necklace, and trainers. The New Zealand filmmaker was seen assisting Ora with her long red velvet train as she posed for photographs.
"Descendants: Wicked Wonderland" is the fifth installment in the Disney franchise, where Ora's character, the Queen of Hearts, must confront the repercussions of her past actions and time-traveling. Other cast members also attended the premiere. Brandy, who plays Cinderella, wore a white draping dress with mesh paneling, paired with white stilettos, gold hoop earrings, and a matching necklace. Kylie Cantrall, cast as the lead character Red, wore a red cut-out corset with dramatic shoulder pads, a matching sheer low-rise skirt, and heels. Malia Baker, portraying Chloe Charming, was seen in a lace-up black leather corset with a matching skirt, while Liamani Segura, who plays Pink, the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, wore a white strapless gown with a ruffled skirt.
Ora recently discussed her future plans, stating that she has used the past year for "building" and that new music is a high priority. She also mentioned completing two films in Australia and expressed a desire to act in one of her husband's future projects, emphasizing the importance of the script and story for such a collaboration.
The couple, married since August 2022, are approaching their fourth anniversary. Ora shared that they tend to be spontaneous in their celebrations due to their "fire sign" personalities.
In previous statements, Ora has also spoken about her health journey, including preparing for menopause and freezing her eggs in her twenties. She noted a shift in her physical well-being around age 30, which led her to adopt a more athletic approach to fitness. She clarified that this focus is on how she feels rather than an obsession with appearance. Ora has also educated herself on menopause, drawing insights from her mother's experience and working with Davina McCall on "The Masked Singer."
