Rita Ora Dons Snow White-Inspired Ensemble at amfAR London Gala Amidst Lawsuit
The singer opted for a bold, revealing outfit for the charity event, days after news broke of a multi-million dollar lawsuit filed by her former manager.
Singer Rita Ora made a striking fashion statement at the amfAR London gala, leaving the event in a revealing blue satin bra and a pale yellow tulle skirt with a red belt, an ensemble described as a reimagining of Disney's Snow White. The 35-year-old artist, who had arrived earlier in a more modest black silk jacket and blazer, completed her post-gala look with a slicked bob, oversized sunglasses, and towering black platform heels.
Ora was seen departing The Chancery Rosewood on Friday night, where she was accompanied by Kelly Osbourne. The singer's bold outfit contrasts with her arrival attire, which included a chunky, large-lapel blazer, a matching pencil skirt with button detailing, towering stilettos, and an elaborate headpiece.
This appearance follows Ora's attendance at the premiere of her husband Taika Waititi's new film, "Klara And The Sun," at the BFI London Film Festival on Thursday. For that event, she wore a black lace gown and a voluminous headpiece, posing alongside film stars Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams.
The singer's public outings come in the wake of a lawsuit filed by her former manager, Sarah Stennett, and her firm FAE Ventures. Stennett is seeking approximately £3.2 million, alleging that Ora failed to pay her firm a percentage of her earnings from tours and television work. The two parties reportedly parted ways in 2024 after working together since 2009, with initial disagreements cited over career direction.
Court documents claim that Ora, who initially signed with Stennett's company at age 18, violated contractual terms by not remitting a share of her income. The largest alleged underpayment exceeds £1.7 million, with claims of "impermissible deductions" for professional services like advertising, accountancy, and insurance. An additional claim of £1.1 million is for unreported touring income from the spring of 2019 and 2020, during her Phoenix World Tour. Representatives for both Sarah Stennett and Rita Ora have not yet responded to requests for comment.
