Rita Ora was pulling out the looks for the British Fashion Council’s 2024 Fashion Awards on Monday in London. After turning up on the red carpet wearing a massively oversized suit, a wrist full of chunky gold bracelets and newly blonde hair, she swapped her look for the after party.
For her second ensemble she put on a colorful dress featuring graphic comic book-like artwork and two massive sheer mesh panels over her chest. She layered a chunky, weather appropriate fuzzy black jacket over top and carries a small black quilted bag.
For shoes, Ora held it down for the ever growing cult of the Marc Jacobs Kiki boot. The version she wore was a smooth leather iteration featuring 11 buckles. This meant the shoe climbed up her ankle, and to the tops of her calves, affixed via the tiny Mary Jane-esque buckles. It also contains a zip up the side for ease.

The Kiki boot notably includes a chunky platform and thick sculpted heel. In ways it is Marc Jacob’s version of a go go boot. Though it is often worn with tall socks, the decision to wear it without visible socks puts Ora’s leg tattoos on display.
As a result of the platform, the Marc Jacobs Kiki knee-high boot has the ability to add six inches on to the wearer’s height. The shoe was first introduced in 2016 and has been seen in patent iterations, croc-embossed fabrications, satin, as well as in a shorter bootie style. Over the years it’s been worn by a variety of celebrities including Nicky Hilton, Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, Julia Fox, FKA Twigs, Cardi B, Cynthia Erivo and many more.
