Rita Ora’s Cone-Bra Dress Is Giving Serious Madonna Vibes
Rita Ora arrived at The Prince's Trust Gala in New York on 27 April wearing a gown that would not have been out of place at the altar. The "Praising You" singer looked effortlessly glam in a Richard Quinn cone-bra dress, fresh from the autumn winter '23 London Fashion Week runway, which saw a number of models walk the catwalk holding bridal bouquets. Ora, who has very recently been a bride herself after marrying Taika Waititi last year, teamed the dress with opera gloves and a sparkling diamond necklace to really drive home the wedding look.

Explore Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news Well, for one, she’s promising an all-hits setlist – which for Madonna takes some narrowing down, given her 38 Billboard Hot 100 top 10s and 50 Dance Club Songs No. 1s.

Celebs who got burned endorsing crypto and those that got away with it
Celebrities had a shaky year promoting crypto firms and projects throughout 2022.

Who got burned? In February last year, American comedian Larry David, who co-created the television series Seinfeld, appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for now-defunct crypto exchange FTX that encouraged users not to “miss out on the next big thing.” [embedded content] David has since been named in a class-action law...
