Luxe leather will forever be a favourite for those most stylish, and to prove just how sultry the lavish fabric can be for a decadent date night out, is everybody's favourite It-Brit, Rita Ora.
The 34-year-old singer, actress and The Masked Singer US judge is known in the style sphere for her enviable ensembles, and her most recent red carpet look just solidified exactly that.
To attend (and perform) at the Capital Summertime Ball 2025 at Wembley Stadium over the weekend, Rita forgoed comfort (fashion lovers will know that leather isn’t great for the sweltering summer temperatures) and executed a sleek, chic and overly sultry slim-fitting leather look.

As the icing on top, Rita paired the Morticia Addams-approved frock with a pair of strappy leather heels which tied up around her calves.

Fashion fans might recognise Rita’s leather midi dress as she’s not the only famed face to don it on the world stage.

Two icons twinning in matching outfits obviously means the style is worth its weight in fashion gold.
Long live the luxe leather midi.
