Rita Ora owned the stage during Manchester Pride 2024 held yesterday in Manchester, Eng. Beyond Ora, other performers included Jessie J, Katy B and Bimini, among others. The festival is set to take place from Aug. 23 through Aug. 26.

Paired with black sheer tights, the “For You” singer sported a pair of calf-length black booties. The star’s footwear pick featured glossy black leather uppers, zipper closures in silver fixed to the sides and triangular toes. 2 to 3-inch block heels rounded out the set, offering Ora a walkable boost while performing.

The boot silhouette offered the entertainer’s look a grungy touch, contrasting the vibrant colors of her ensemble. Similar silhouettes to Ora’s own can be shopped from top high-end and affordable brands like Bottega Veneta, Vince Camuto, Sam Edelman, Frye and Cos, just to name a few. As we transition into colder weather, it’s likely more celebrities will start dusting off their favorite fall-ready leather booties, switching out their summer styles for more full-coverage silhouettes.

In a contrasting move, Ora wore a metallic bra top in a color-blocked style paired with matching metallic micro shorts. The “Fifty Shades Freed” actress also wore color-blocked gloves and rainbow glitter in her hair.

The musician has collaborated on past fashion lines with Adidas Originals and Tezenis, as well as a shoe capsule with Giuseppe Zanotti. She’s also been a longtime partner of ShoeDazzle, creating several collections for the budget-friendly brand.
