Rita Ora Steps Out in the Most Unexpected Winter Outfit We’ve Ever Seen

Rita Ora is never one to shy away from a chance to change up her style. Case in point: She made an unconventional outfit choice today as she braved the cold in New York. Instead of a traditional wool coat or long puffer, the singer topped her navy sweater with a short caped puffer jacket from Fendi that matched her flared plaid midi-length skirt.

As she left her hotel this afternoon, her skirt, which is inserted with maroon fabric panels, was captured flowing against a pair of tall black boots. The shoes featured a round toe, a slouchy silhouette, and a high heel.

The finishing touch: futuristic thin-metal cat-eye sunglasses.

Later in the evening, Ora was captured by photographers making two more outfit changes. She returned to her hotel in a textured puffer with a zippered sweatshirt underneath, complete with a paneled, double-slit skirt. Her shoes were pointed-toe, white sock booties with a thin heel.

After a quick stay in her hotel, she stepped out again in a look that was decidedly more casual (and weather-appropriate). She styled a tee and leggings with a leopard-print jacket, an enveloping black cocoon coat and a giant checkered scarf emblazoned with her name. She paired the more laid-back ensemble with gray socks and chunky white sneakers.
