Rita Ora sent temperatures soaring when she attended the Met Gala in New York City on Monday.
The Let You Love Me hitmaker, 33, was a dead ringer for rapper Kanye West‘s wife Bianca Censori, 29, as she headed to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit Gala in a daring beaded ensemble.
The beauty bared all and put on a very racy display in a multicoloured tinsel dress which showcased her slender figure.
Leaving little to the imagination, Rita posed up a storm as she departed from her swanky hotel and made her way to the star-studded event with her husband Taika Waititi, 48.
The How To Be Lonely singer kept her accessories to a minimum, allowing the racy dress to do all the talking.

Rita added inches to her frame with a pair of nude stiletto strappy heels and wore a flawless palette of makeup consisting of a striking light blue eyeshadow.
To finish off the look, Rita rocked a short, wet-look hairdo, instead of her usual wavy long locks.
Meanwhile, her husband Taika cut a quirky figure in a chocolate coloured three-piece leather suit.
In some snaps, the New Zealand filmmaker and actor could be spotted helping Rita readjust her ensemble to get the perfect snaps on the carpet.
It comes after Kanye and Bianca were notably absent from the Met Gala this year after Met Gala director Anna Wintour vowed to never work with him again after his anti-Semitic rants.
He hasn’t been invited since 2022, however, he was previously known as a Met Gala skipper, as his last appearance was actually in 2019.
So, instead of attending the Met Gala, he and Bianca instead spent their Monday over 2,000 miles away continuing their move out of their LA mansion.
Kim and Kanye’s last Met Gala appearance was in 2019 when she stunned in a gold wet look and Kanye wore a $42 black jacket.

Met Gala 2022 was cancelled due to Covid and, in 2021, Kim filed for divorce from Kanye, citing irreconcilable differences.
However, she still took a bit of him with her to that year’s Met Gala, completely concealing her body – including her face – in a black skin-tight suit designed by Balenciaga, Ye’s frequent collaborator.
The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City‘s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This year the event is titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code is The Garden of Time.
Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth are this year’s co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue’s Anna Wintour.

The honorary chairs for the evening are Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.
‘This year’s co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,’ Vogue shared.
The showcase will feature approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute’s permanent collection – with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.
The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea, and sky.
‘It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,’ said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition.

‘One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.’
Guests expected to attend include the Kardashians, Blake Lively, Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Timothee Chalamet.
Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham are hosting while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain is expected to interview stars on the red carpet.
