Rita Ora paid homage to Dolly Parton at a Halloween party on Friday, October 30.
The 35-year-old singer transformed into the late country music icon, who died at 80 on August 25, 2026, following a "brief battle with cancer," for The Frankie Shop's Halloween bash.
Rita took a surprisingly subtle approach. Instead of wearing an embellished, brightly colored outfit as Dolly preferred, she rocked jeans that showed off her toned stomach and tiny waist.
She paired the jeans with a cropped white shirt unbuttoned to reveal a colorful push-up bra that boosted her cleavage.
Showing off her look in a video on her Instagram Story, Rita added a big blonde wig to emulate Dolly's trademark beehive hair and dramatic bright blue eyeshadow.

The singer has long been open about the discipline behind her physique, regularly sharing glimpses of her workouts and speaking about the importance of exercise to her well-being.
In February, she opened up about her approach to exercise, admitting she became "addicted" to the endorphin rush she gets from working out.
"I became very, almost addicted to that endorphin after that one-hour workout. And my day just felt really positive. It changed my whole mindset," she told GB News.

Rita has changed up her workout plan, switching from cardio to strength training. "Sometimes I don't have an hour. I'll do 20 minutes in a hotel room. Bands, glutes, mat work. I just do something," she shared.
"I don't put that much pressure on myself, because I don't think it’s healthy. I like that you don't have to rush into a strength class; you just have to hit those four rounds. You can take a minute rest – sometimes I take a two-minute rest – but I hit the rounds."

"My parents were very strict on us moving our bodies at a young age. That's just how I was raised."
One of Rita's favorite workouts to do on the go is Pilates. "It's definitely my easiest format to go to, just because I can travel with the equipment way easier than a heavy set of weights. I do love a strength class when I have a gym around," she noted.

She added: "I'm still not incredible at cardio. I get so tired. I can't just do a 10k run and not stop. That's just not what my body does, and I'm OK with it."
