Rita Ora Wore Dilara Fındıkoğlu To The Capital Summertime Ball 2025

Rita Ora knows how to make an entrance, and ahead of her high-energy set at the 2025 Capital Summertime Ball at Wembley Stadium, she gave us a look that was just as electric as her performance.

Before belting out Let You Love Me, Your Song, and her latest single Heat, Rita stepped onto the red carpet in a gothic-inspired corset gown from Dilara Fındıkoğlu’s Spring 2023 collection.

The dress’s sculpted corset gave the look an armour-like quality, while the red leather bleeding through the black added an eerie sense of beauty—a dark fairytale, if you will. But what really made this feel like a Rita Ora moment was her refusal to be boxed in by the drama of the dress.

Instead of doubling down on the gothic theme, she lightened things up with voluminous Farrah Fawcett-inspired hair and a red lip, creating a delicious contrast that felt both unexpected and totally her.

Paired with leather lace-up sandals, this was pop star meets fashion warrior—and it worked.
