Rita Ora made a splash at the world premiere of “The New Boy” at the Sydney Film Festival in Sydney last night. The British pop star was decked out in Versace for the occasion, which saw her hit the red carpet with her husband Taika Waititi.

The “How We Do (Party)” hitmaker sported a preppy-inspired bright blue and neon pink tweed jacket featuring a cropped silhouette with a frayed hem and a zipper front. The collared, black-accented look was complete with silver buttons stamped with the brand’s signature Medusa motif. She wore a coordinating wrap-style miniskirt boasting a subtle shimmery effect.

As for shoes, the 32-year-old singer slipped into a dramatic pair of square-toe, Mary Jane-inspired pumps set on a massive platform sole with a 6.5-inch block heel. The bold style from the iconic Italian luxury brand was finished off with two straps featuring Medusa coin hardware.
