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.
When it comes to style, sometimes more is more, so Ora decided to step it up by accessorizing with even more sparkling crystal jewelry 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.
Natalie Portman, who plays the title character in the movie Thor, and Ora crossed paths at the premiere. Portman’s strapless puffball minidress was given a great finishing touch in the form of a dramatic red flower hairband, giving us the red dancing lady emoji vibes. The specially designed dress, which was from Dior’s Cruise collection 2023 and was styled by Ryan Hastings, was paired with barely there red heels, a dramatic headpiece, and a dash of red lipstick.
Tessa Thompson, a fellow Thor star, chose a silver gown similar to Ora’s. She definitely earned a gold star in our book of style thanks to the sequined bandeau column dress by Oscar de la Renta. The dress’ contemporary design, which had glittery threads and a split to allow for movement, caught my attention.
