Rita Ora ensured all eyes were on her as she shared a fun-filled summer photo dump on Instagram on Thursday.
The singer, 34, first sent temperatures soaring as she showed off her rock-hard abs in a nude bikini.
Posing for the mirror selfie with a jelly face mask, Rita accessorised her toned figure with an array of gold jewellery that complemented her glowing tan.
In another snap, the star put on a busty display in a neon green sports bra and shorts as she enjoyed a hike.
The singer added a bright red Ralph Lauren baseball cap and shielded her eyes with a pair of sunglasses.
This was followed by another selfie in the gym while donning a skimpy black gym set.

Rita's photo dump also included glam shots, a snap with Glen Powell at Glastonbury, some delicious food, and time with friends.
She captioned the carousel: 'Summer and tings.'
The sexy snaps come just weeks after Rita admitted that she felt 'ugly' in her late twenties because she 'wasn't as thin as other people'.
The singer appeared on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast in partnership with Dove's Self Esteem Project for a candid body confidence chat.
Rita opened up about how her relationship with her body has changed in recent years, as she revealed she used to feel like her body wasn't 'hot'.
'I think for me the idea of looking a certain way in my late 20s, that's when it started to hit me because my stamina was low, I wasn't looking after my body, I was getting sick a lot and I didn't feel like my body was hot,' Rita said.
'And I didn't accept the idea of okay well I'm not as thin as these other people - and so I'm ugly. And that's really sad to think back on because I know I wasn't.
'It's like what you do when you're attacking your younger self like in therapy, and it's like that girl was still really beautiful.'
Sharing the clip on Instagram, Rita wrote: 'I sat down with @Dove and @HappyPlaceOfficial to share why I believe body confidence starts with self care focusing on what your body needs - not what it looks like.
'Proud to partner with the Dove Self Esteem Project on #Why2k - together we're rewriting the rules and helping women build body confidence.'
Rita recently revealed how Beyoncé has always been her 'protector' as she discussed being hit by speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair'.
Beyoncé's smash hit 2016 album Lemonade featured poignant lyrics about cheating and she sang about the mysterious woman in her track Sorry.
Fans widely speculated it referred to alleged infidelity by Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z with a woman called 'Becky', and theories began circulating online about her identity.
Rita found herself at the centre of the rumours as she was wrongly accused of having an affair with Jay-Z, with the singer forced to hit back and deny the claims.
Now, Rita - who was represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label at the time - revealed she was so upset by the claims because Beyoncé has always been her 'protector'.
Speaking on Davina McCall's Begin Again podcast, Rita explained: 'Behind closed doors, [Beyoncé] is literally my fairy godmother, she was my protector - that's what's insane because there was nothing but love.'

CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins... and says Dad's Army's Private Godfrey could have done better than these recruits

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins - Channel 4 Rating: At ease, you men... dancer Louie Spence has declared that, in the event of World War III breaking out, he's ready to serve. 'I might just jump at it,' he bragged, on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. 'I think I'd be in the Home Guard. We'd have a gay Dad's Army, darling. Honestly, they wouldn't want to mess with the gays.' Shortly after that, he botched a hostage rescue exercise by hurling a grenade into a building where two civilians were waiting to be saved. Private Godfrey could have done a better job. The show launched on Sunday night — small wonder that by yesterday's second episode, Louie had already bailed out and gone home. His big idea might not save the country from invasion, but surely the BBC would love an LGBT remake of its most successful comedy. Call it Fab Army. Previous series of Celebrity SAS have been camp enough to merit their own float at a Pride festival. The ex-special forces veterans in charge of each batch of hapless volunteers couldn't help standing in a row with their thumbs tucked into their belts, like a Village People tribute act. Former U.S. Marine Rudy Reyes was caught on camera, stripped to the waist and admiring his muscles in the mirror. I worried that the next ordeal the celebs faced would be a choreographed Full Monty striptease, to a soundtrack of You Can Keep Your Hat On. This time, the NCOs are less flamboyant but also less aggressive. They snarl, swear and belittle contestants for every mistake, but so far we've seen no 'beastings' — the punishing bouts of intensive exercise that end only when recruits pass out from exhaustion. And these days, the mock interrogations are more like therapy sessions. They still begin with victims propelled into half-lit cells with bags over their heads, but the questions are sympathetic, even kindly. 'Don't be so nervous,' chief instructor Mark 'Billy' Billingham told Michaella McCollum, one of the 'Peru Two' jailed in South America for drug smuggling. They coaxed the story from her, beginning with teenage drug abuse in Northern Ireland, then working as a courier for an organised crime gang in Spain, followed by arrest at the airport in Lima. 'So yeah, I ended up spending three years in prison,' she said. Billy asked the questions expected of all good psychotherapists: 'How did that feel? Do you wanna talk about it?' Back in the dorm, she was beaming: 'I feel a bit better after that chat with them, really positive.' The physical challenges involve lots of running up mountains with rucksacks, as ever, but I can't help feeling that a lot of the tears and terror are manufactured for the cameras. One test saw the celebs hanging from a zipwire over an abyss. If that same set-up were an attraction at a theme park, people would queue for hours to have a go.

The Chase star Mark Labbett apologises for his 'bursts of anger' on Celebs Go Dating - as quizzer admits he 'got quite grumpy on set'

The Chase's Mark Labbett has apologised for experiencing 'bursts of anger' while looking for love on Celebs Go Dating. The professional quizzer, 59, admitted that the filming schedule of reality TV was drastically different from what he is used to and as a result, he lost his temper on set. He told The Mirror: 'I'm used to being in a pre-planned environment on The Chase, where timings are strict, but reality TV can go on for longer and the days end up ending later than you think.' Mark, who has publicly stated that he believes he is on the autism spectrum but not been diagnosed, said his mental health suffered on the show. The star added: 'For me, the one thing I found was that you need a social battery recharge, and as someone on the spectrum, that's something I really need.' He also revealed that his suspected neurodivergence has impacted his dating life as he finds people hard to read. Mark now plans to take the lessons he has learned from filming the show into any future contracts to ensure he does not act in an unbecoming manner again. He said: 'I got quite grumpy on set. I did apologise to everyone, but, in the future, I'd definitely have it in my contract that I need breaks to have a nap and recharge.' As well as admitting that he got moody on set, he also explained that he was impacted by his diabetes. He revealed: 'I wear a glucose monitor and on one of the nights, my glucose level went off the scale.' This prompted his co-star Kerry Katona to joke: 'And Mark went off the scale too!' Even though the show was a 'learning curve' for the star, he said that he is still looking forward to its release. Mark's grumpiness was not the only issue he faced in his latest attempt to find love and he also had a health scare on the set of Celebs Go Dating, which temporarily halted filming. The presenter suffered what's known as a hypoglycaemic attack - an event caused by a person's blood sugar dropping too low, resulting in symptoms like shaking and sweating. Mark (pictured on the far left) said that even though Celebs Go Dating was a 'learning curve' for the star, he is looking forward to its release Recalling the moment, Mark said: 'One night, I had a hypoglycaemic attack. 'I might have been a bit grumpy that night. I apologised to everyone after.' Mark was previously in a relationship with TV presenter Hayley Palmer, 43, but the pair split a week after their first anniversary last year. It was Mark who decided to leave the relationship, blindsiding Hayley when he ended their romance over the phone. The Chase presenter later put his reasoning down to their 16-year age gap and stressed to The Sun that he was 'very lucky' to have dated her for a year. Prior to this, he was married to Katie Lawrence, 32, who was 27 years his junior. The couple were together for seven years and share one child, a son, but parted ways in 2020, with their age gap once again cited as a contributing factor in the split.
