The UK premiere of “Thor: Love and Thunder” attracted the Marvel Universe to London’s Leicester Square on July 5. Glittering gowns illuminated the city. One dress that truly got our attention was Rita Ora’s sparkling Elie Saab ensemble for the song “Poison.”
Ora sat by the side of her New Zealander filmmaker beau Taika Waititi, with whom she is rumored to have recently become engaged and a wedding is thought to be just around the corner. And in the plunging dress with fringed panels, an exposed back, a thigh-high split, and crystal embellishments, Ora looked every bit the star.
Ora decided to boost the style ante by accessorizing with even more sparkling crystal jewelry and silver platform shoes because sometimes more is more. She added immaculate dewy makeup to complete the look and pulled her bronde hair back into a low bun with plaits. Fans were mesmerized by her appearance, but her best accessory was a radiant smile.
Ora brushed shoulders at the premiere with Thor actor Natalie Portman, whose scarlet style was simply stunning. Giving us the red dancing lady emoji vibes, Portman’s strapless puffball minidress was given a fabulous finishing touch in the form of a statement red flower hairband. Styled by Ryan Hastings, the custom-made dress was from Dior’s Cruise collection 2023 and was teamed with barely there red heels, a dramatic headpiece, and a splash of red lipstick.
Fellow Thor actor, Tessa Thompson, opted for a metallic gown like Ora. The sequinned bandeau column dress by Oscar de la Renta certainly got her a gold star in our style book. With glitzy threads and split to allow for movement, it was the modern way the dress was styled that really won us over. Thanks to dynamic styling duo Wayman and Micah, Thompson’s gown was paired with gold over-the-knee boots, cuffs on the upper arms, and a choker that gave the formal dress a contemporary touch. With bronze smoky makeup, her look was effortless glamour at its best.
