Rita Ora puts on a stylish display in Ralph Lauren white skater skirt in Brooklyn ahead of New York show
And Rita Ora put on a stylish display as she was seen out and about in Brooklyn on Friday ahead of her headline performance at The Hill in New York.
The singer, 34, opted for an all white ensemble as she paired a white Ralph Lauren skater skirt with a white polo top and cropped white jacket.
Accessorising the look with a brown leather belt, Rita put on a leggy display before finishing the look with a pair of red and white high top trainers.
Adding a pair of black shades the star appeared in great spirits as she headed to the stage ahead of her energetic performance.
Earlier in the day Rita showcased her toned midriff in a skimpy white top as she travelled on the subway while exploring the city.

For her outing she stepped out in a white sheer long-sleeved top which she layered over a matching bralette.
She paired her top with some casual light blue low cut flared jeans which she paired with black flip flops.
Adding a hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a large black Hermes bag.
To accessorise, the songstress wore a quirky mental ring and a pair of black tinted sunglasses.
Alongside her Instagram post, she penned: 'Brooklyn Bridge 9pm.'
Rita recently revealed how Beyonce has always been her 'protector' as she discussed being hit by speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair'.
Beyonce'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 Beyonce'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.
And Rita - who was represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label at the time - revealed she was so upset by the claims because Beyonce has always been her 'protector'.
Speaking on Davina McCall 's Begin Again podcast, Rita explained: 'Behind closed doors, [Beyonce] is literally my fairy godmother, she was my protector - that's what's insane because there was nothing but love.
'And, you know, again, being signed to Jay-Z, her husband, she being my biggest inspiration, she came to my first show in New York at The Box and I sang Say My Name in front of Beyonce when I was 21.'
Rita admitted she was 'genuinely' upset and 'confused' by the storm because Beyonce is a 'big sister' who has always 'looked after' her in the industry.
The For You hitmaker revealed she still sees Beyonce often to this day as she doubled down on her denial that she was 'Becky'.
'It wasn't real,' Rita insisted, before jokingly adding: 'I wish I had good hair!'
'None of that was real. That was the first time I experienced what it means to be in a messy situation, I guess,' she added.

‘Is Peter Gabriel in my vocal range? I don't care. I'm singing it at karaoke': Xzibit's honest playlist
The first song I fell in love withFight the Power by Public Enemy from their Fear of a Black Planet album touched my soul. Hearing the vibrant production on that record is what really inspired me as a child to become a musician. I listened to it so much, I nearly wore it out. It was first single I boughtRuff Rhyme (Back Again) by my friend King T on cassette tape from Tower Records in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It has the Ruff Mix remix on the B-side, and to this day he and I fight about which is best. The song I do at karaokeIn Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel. Is it in my vocal range? I don't give care if I'm singing it right. I'll do my best. The best song to play at a party It depends on what they're serving. If it's a wild party and there's a whole bunch of drugs involved, it's gotta be uptempo. If it's kick back with some weed, then some 90s or 00s gangsta rap like Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang by Dr Dre featuring Snoop Dogg. The song I secretly likeI love Everything by Mary J Blige from her Share My World album, which samples You Are Everything by the Stylistics and The Payback by James Brown. I've been a fan of hers ever since she came out. She's one of my favourite artists who integrates hip-hop and R&B. The best song to have sex toIt's not about the music. Sometimes it's just about being into your partner: that's the music right there. Would I have sex to my own records? Hell no. Have you heard my shit, like Choke Me, Spank Me (Pull My Hair)? You can't have sex to those records. The song that changed my lifeBitch Please by Snoop Dogg featuring Nate Dogg and Xzibit was the beginning of an era.

Kate's Wimbledon dons Self Portrait custom-made frock to women's Wimbledon final - with a sweet nod to Prince William
The Princess of Wales looked typically elegant in an all-white ensemble as she attended the women's final at Wimbledon on Saturday. Mother-of-three Kate Middleton has been patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, also known as the AELTC (which organises the day-to-day running of the prestigious tournament), since 2016. And every time she sets foot on the hallowed grounds of Wimbledon, royal watchers are keen to see what she is wearing. Her outfit for the women's final, which saw Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Asiminova 6-0, 6-0, did not disappoint. The royal donned a custom Self-Portrait white ensemble. The two-piece outfit featured a high collared, military-style belted top and a flowing midi skirt. Kate has worn designs from Self-Portrait on a number of occasions, including a 2023 Wimbledon appearance, where she wore a similar two-piece outfit, but that time, in green. She finished the ensemble with a pair of Gianvito Rossi suede slingback heeled pumps in cream, and Anya Hindmarch's Neeson Small Square Tote bag in cream, which retails for £950. Her jewellery included a gold Halcyon Days bracelet and Cartier earrings. She also gave a sweet nod to her husband Prince William, wearing what appeared to be her Cartier Bleu watch, which Prince William gave her as an anniversary gift in 2014. She wore her chestnut locks loose, letting them flow past her shoulders, and opted for a natural make-up look. Kate also wore her 'Wimbledon bow' - a brooch featuring the tournament's iconic colours - which it's believed she has worn every time she has visited Wimbledon. She debuted her green-and-purple bow back in 2017 - when she paired it with a white short-sleeved dress. More than just a mere accessory, the Princess' go-to Wimbledon brooch is actually a symbol of royal patronage, gifted to her from the Queen Elizabeth II. Kate took over the role of patron in 2016 from the late Queen who had held the position for 64 years. The accessory is worn by members of the Committee of Management during the Fortnight – the Main Board of the AELTC and representatives of the LTA. It signifies their responsibilities as the Committee governing the tournament. The Patron has always traditionally been given a Committee bow in recognition of her role, which is why the Duchess has chosen to wear it when visiting The Championships. Other individuals also given an honorary Committee bow are the Chief Executive. She also wore her famous sapphire engagement ring, which famously used to belong to her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales SMILING: Kate Middleton (pictured) famously loves sports, and she appeared delighted to be attending the Wimbledon women's final on Saturday The present colours of dark green and purple were introduced in 1909 as the club's previous colours, blue, yellow, red and green, were too similar to those of the Royal Marines. The royal was praised for her Wimbledon outing yesterday, after she consoled the tearful runner-up Amanda Asiminova who was thrashed by Iga Swiatek in the most one-sided Wimbledon final since 1911. Kate placed her hand on the American's arm and told her to 'keep your head high' following the 23-year-old's 6-0, 6-0 loss on Centre Court in just 57 minutes. Anisimova had to briefly leave the court following her humbling at the hands of an inspired Swiatek, 24, as she recorded a double bagel scoreline in the women's final - the first in 114 years and for only the second time in the tournament's history. Anisimova said meeting Kate 'was the positive of today' and told how she had been 'really kind'. Speaking after the match, she said: 'It was such an honour to meet her. 'I wasn't sure if she was going to come out today, if she was going to be there, so it's just really nice to see her. 'She definitely had a few things to say that were making me emotional again.' A tearful Anisimova wiped away tears during her post-match interview on court as she praised Swiatek and said she had 'run out of gas a bit today'. She was playing in her first Wimbledon final and said 'she would never forget this experience'. Anisimova broke down again as she mentioned how her mother had flew in from America this morning to watch her. 'Thank you for being here and breaking the superstition of not flying in - it isn't why I lost here,' she joked. Anisimova: 'I know I didn't have enough today but I will keep putting in the work and I hope to be back here one day.' A victorious Swiatek, the first Polish woman to win Wimbledon, also offered words of encouragement to Anisimova. 'First I want to congratulate Amanda for an amazing two weeks. You should be proud of the work you are doing and I hope we will play more finals her,'' she said. 'I didn't even dream, for me it was way too far. I feel like I am already an experienced player after winning the Slams before but I never expected this one. 'This year I really, really enjoyed it and feel I improved my form here. 'I am always going to remember the opening of champagne bottles between serves! It is a sound that will keep me away at night!' The only ever time there has been a 6-0, 6-0 scoreline in a Grand Slam final was in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva in the French Open.
