The singer, co-hosting the show for the third time, continued her tradition of going all out with her fashion choices.
Who needs to watch the clock tick down to 2026 when Rita Ora’s many wardrobe changes are just as entertaining?
The pop star returned as a co-host of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve alongside Ryan Seacrest in New York City on Dec. 31, marking her third year in the role. As expected, the marathon broadcast was filled with a steady stream of fashion moments from Ora.
From the lead-up to the show to the final countdown, the 35-year-old Masked Singer judge delivered an array of stylish looks fit for the New Year’s festivities.
She kicked things off in a lilac satin mini dress that showed off her legs, paired with blush velvet heels and topped with a statement fur coat. The retro-inspired look was later swapped for a more understated black ensemble as she made her way backstage, where even more outfit changes awaited.
Throughout the live broadcast, Ora embraced winter-ready fashion with elevated flair. Her looks included a timeless beige coat worn over a black turtleneck and heeled boots, a cream-toned outfit accented with a cozy cable-knit scarf, and a bold leopard-print coat styled with gold earrings and buckled boots. She also stepped out in a head-to-toe leather look during the show.
Despite the multiple wardrobe swaps, her beauty look remained consistent, featuring slicked-back hair and a striking red lip.
On Instagram, Ora gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse of her preparation for the eight-hour broadcast—the longest in New Year’s Rockin’ Eve history. “Currently in prep mode, which is hectic with little sleep (except in the car between press haha), but I love every minute of it,” she wrote. “I can’t wait for the buzz of the countdown at 11:59—it’s unlike anything else.”
Ahead of the festivities in Times Square, Ora and Seacrest spoke with PEOPLE about the easy rapport they’ve built over the years. “We share the same sense of humor,” Ora said. “I’m really happy to be doing this together.”
Seacrest echoed the sentiment, adding, “We genuinely have a great time working side by side.”
