Rita Ora turns heads in a busty black midi dress as she joins Jamie Foxx, Frida Aasen, and Kelly Rutherford at the Summer Gala in Saint-Tropez
Rita Ora turned heads as she attended the Summer Gala by Gala One in Saint-Tropez on Thursday. The singer, 34, posed up a storm on the red carpet, joining Jamie Foxx, Frida Aasen, and Kelly Rutherford at the glamorous event. Rita wowed in a busty black midi dress that hugged her incredible figure, pairing it with black heels. She carried a black velvet handbag embroidered with delicate vintage blue flowers to complete the look. Jamie, 57, looked dapper in an all-white suit and shirt combo, finishing with white trainers and a silver chain. He was joined by his daughter Corinne, who stunned in a black cut-out dress with a dramatic thigh-high slit. The singer, 34, posed up a storm on the red carpet, joining Jamie Foxx, Frida Aasen, and Kelly Rutherford at the glamorous event. Model Frida, 30, was effortlessly elegant in a satin brown halter-neck gown that highlighted her bronzed glow. While Kelly Rutherford, 56, looked radiant in a white off-the-shoulder lace dress, adding white heeled mules and a Birkin bag. Also in attendance were Victoria Silvstedt, Casey Affleck, and Chantel Jeffries. The glamorous evening brought together stars from film, fashion, and music for a dazzling night on the French Riviera. The event comes just days 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 on Wednesday, 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.' It comes after 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.'
