Rita Ora looks almost unrecognisable as she sports punk-inspired blonde mullet with oversized suit and edgy metallic jewellery on red carpet at Fashion Awards

Rita Ora combined androgynous and steampunk inspired fashion on Monday night, as she made her eye-catching arrival at the 2024 Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall.

The singer, 34, looked almost unrecognisable on the red carpet, as she swapped her long brunette locks for a shaggy mullet – dyed blonde and spiked up at the font, while lying in curls at the back.

While she hid her slender frame underneath an oversized grey blazer and flowing charcoal trousers, layered over a striped collared shirt and dotted pink tie.

Rita elevated her tailored outfit, by teaming the suit with a slew of quirky metallic jewellery, including huge spiral silver earrings.

While the presenter made sure to show off her numerous steampunk-inspired rings, that covered every inch of her fingers, as well as several matching chunky bangles.

Ensuring every inch of her look was as bold as possible, Rita also dyed her eyebrows blonde and opted for a glimmering face of makeup, complete with a sparkly orange lip.

The Fashion Awards, presented by jewellery brand Pandora, unites the global fashion community in London, the home of fashion and creativity, to amplify leaders of change, celebrate excellence and support the next generation of creative talent.

It serves as the main fundraiser for the BFC Foundation, which supports the future growth and success of the British fashion industry through its focus on education, grant-giving, and business mentoring. 

Hosted for the second year in a row by Maya Jama and Kojey Radical, the star-studded event will see Tom Ford win the Outstanding Achievement Award and Issa Rae bag the Pandora Leader of Change Award.

Caroline Rush, Chief Executive, British Fashion Council, said: ‘We are delighted that Maya and Kojey are returning as the co-hosts this year. It was a pleasure to watch them on stage last year, their love and support of British fashion and emerging talent makes them the perfect duo for the job. 

‘I am really looking forward to seeing their dynamic energy on stage again as we celebrate the year in fashion.’ 

Rapper and fashion icon A$AP Rocky will be honoured as a Cultural Innovator after being part of many high profile campaigns this year as well as making his Paris Fashion Week debut.

The gong celebrates a leading innovator and imagemaker in the entertainment industry, who over the course of the year, has created viral fashion moments which have had a profound impact on the fashion industry and wider culture.
