Rita Ora owned the stage during Manchester Pride 2024 held yesterday in Manchester, Eng. Beyond Ora, other performers included Jessie J, Katy B and Bimini, among others. The festival is set to take place from Aug. 23 through Aug. 26.
Paired with black sheer tights, the “For You” singer sported a pair of calf-length black booties. The star’s footwear pick featured glossy black leather uppers, zipper closures in silver fixed to the sides and triangular toes. 2 to 3-inch block heels rounded out the set, offering Ora a walkable boost while performing.
The boot silhouette offered the entertainer’s look a grungy touch, contrasting the vibrant colors of her ensemble. Similar silhouettes to Ora’s own can be shopped from top high-end and affordable brands like Bottega Veneta, Vince Camuto, Sam Edelman, Frye and Cos, just to name a few. As we transition into colder weather, it’s likely more celebrities will start dusting off their favorite fall-ready leather booties, switching out their summer styles for more full-coverage silhouettes.

In a contrasting move, Ora wore a metallic bra top in a color-blocked style paired with matching metallic micro shorts. The “Fifty Shades Freed” actress also wore color-blocked gloves and rainbow glitter in her hair.
Ora’s a mainstay in the fashion industry, having starred in campaigns for Donna Karan, Roberto Cavalli and Escada over the years. The musician has collaborated on past fashion lines with Adidas Originals and Tezenis, as well as a shoe capsule with Giuseppe Zanotti. She’s also been a longtime partner of ShoeDazzle, creating several collections for the budget-friendly brand.
Manchester Pride 2024 is made up of multiple events including the world-famous Manchester Pride Parade, the Gay Village Party, Candlelit Vigil, Youth Pride MCR, Family Pride MCR, Superbia Weekend and the Human Rights Forum. The event includes performances from LBGTQ+ community members and supporters.
