Rita Ora steps out in daring sheer dress at Chateau Marmont

Rita Ora was seen in a striking semi-sheer Tom Ford dress as she departed the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles on Friday. The British singer's outfit featured a translucent garment through which her underwear was visible, paired with a black blazer with prominent shoulder pads.

Ora accessorized the ensemble with a large statement belt, layered silver necklaces, and dark Saint Laurent sunglasses. The Chateau Marmont, a historic hotel located on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood, has hosted numerous high-profile guests.

The singer, who is married to Taika Waititi, has recently addressed past speculation linking her to the lyrics of Beyoncé's 2016 song "Sorry." The song, from Beyoncé's album "Lemonade," alluded to infidelity, and fans speculated Ora was the "Becky with the good hair" mentioned in the lyrics.

Ora has previously denied these claims, stating that coincidences, such as wearing lemon-printed lingerie or a necklace with a 'J' (which she clarified was an 'R' that appeared flipped), fueled the rumors. She also mentioned receiving a "Not Becky" badge from Katy Perry. In an interview with Louis Theroux in 2022, Ora explained that the lemon-themed attire was a design from her collaboration with the underwear company Tezenis and was not related to the "Lemonade" album. She has expressed frustration at the media's focus on her personal life over her music career.

Despite the past speculation, Ora and Beyoncé have appeared together, with Ora posting a joint selfie captioned "Family." Ora has stated that when her life feels pulled in an undesirable direction, she is ready to make a change, referencing her decision to leave Jay-Z's record label to sign with Atlantic Records.
