The UK premiere of “Thor: Love and Thunder” attracted the Marvel Universe to London’s Leicester Square on July 5. Glittering gowns illuminated the city. Rita Ora’s glistening Elie Saab gown for the “Poison” singer drew our attention in particular.
Ora sat by the side of her New Zealander filmmaker beau Taika Waititi, with whom she is rumored to have recently become engaged and a wedding is thought to be just around the corner. And in the plunging dress with fringed panels, an exposed back, a thigh-high split, and crystal embellishments, Ora looked every bit the star.
Sometimes more is more, and Ora chose to up the style ante by accessorising with even more sparkling crystal jewellery and silver platform heels. With her bronde hair pulled back into a plaited low bun, she finished the look with flawless dewy makeup. While her look wowed fans, it was her beaming smile that was her best accessory of all.
Ora brushed shoulders at the premiere with Thor actor Natalie Portman, whose scarlet style was simply stunning. Giving us the red dancing lady emoji vibes, Portman’s strapless puffball minidress was given a fabulous finishing touch in the form of a statement red flower hairband. Styled by Ryan Hastings, the custom-made dress was from Dior’s Cruise collection 2023 and was teamed with barely there red heels, a dramatic headpiece, and a splash of red lipstick.
Fellow Thor actor, Tessa Thompson, opted for a metallic gown like Ora. The sequinned bandeau column dress by Oscar de la Renta certainly got her a gold star in our style book. With glitzy threads and split to allow for movement, it was the modern way the dress was styled that really won us over. Thanks to dynamic styling duo Wayman and Micah, Thompson’s gown was paired with gold over-the-knee boots, cuffs on the upper arms, and a choker that gave the formal dress a contemporary touch. With bronze smoky makeup, her look was effortless glamour at its best.
