Rita Ora’s latest music video is set to get pulses racing. The singer posted a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram, teasing her latest track “Praising You” featuring Fat Boy Slim, alongside the caption: “Just over a week until PRAISING YOU ft @officialfatboyslim drops alongside the amazing video I made with my boo thang @taikawaititi. Cannot wait for you to see this.” We can’t wait either.
In the photos, Ora is wearing a black patent balconette bra that is made into a micro playsuit, linked by side panels and finished with tiny hot pants. Across her torso is a sheer, corseted panel. Styled by Pippa Atkinson, the David Koma ensemble is worn with sheer tights and is certainly one for the archives. To complete the look, Ora’s fox eye makeup brings the drama with glitter eyeshadow and an extended metallic liner flick as Anthony H.Nguyen overlines her lips for an ’80s feel. Sami Knight is also responsible for her seriously voluminous hairdo that is swept over from one side.
Ora has become known for her quirky music videos (the cameos in the “You Only Love Me” video were great, not to mention a nod to her wedding in a vintage YSL dress), and her latest track does not look like it will disappoint, especially as it is directed by her husband, Taika Waititi, who she married in 2022. The New Zealand filmmaker posted a sneak clip of the video a week earlier with the caption: “Made a little film for mah missus @ritaora ‘s new single PRAISING YOU featuring the legend @officialfatboyslim. This song is a fkn BANGER and it comes out with the full video APRIL 19. And obviously the full video is dope cause I made it. Duh. Chur dawg.”
Waititi most recently directed “Thor: Love and Thunder” as well as Daniel Craig’s epic dancing in the ad for Belvedere Vodka, so we expect big things. And if Ora’s choice of outfit it anything to go by, it’s set to be a seriously hot video.
Although, Ora doesn’t need to be on stage or on set to push the fashion limits. She opted for a see-through naked dress for a simple hair appointment in March, a micro miniskirt and cowboy boots for dinner, and a netted top held together by beads for a beach outing. We can always rely on “The Masked Singer” judge to provide us with show-stopping looks, and we will be waiting to see what others she delivers in her newest video.
