It’s easy to like Rita Ora’s style. She likes to stir things up with bits and pieces of kitschy pieces but always manages to look like she really knows what she is doing.

She even looks cute in this dress:

Would we wear something like this uniquely endearing frock from Marchesa? Why not? The dress is very fancy and whimsical with its pale pink and white appliqués that look like clustered petals.

It’s probably more suitable for spring or summer, but this should be a wonderful party dress you can layer with a nice trench coat.

To balance the extravagance of the dress, Rita Ora opted for delicate white Brian Atwood sandals and styled her hair in loose waves, complemented by pale pink lipsTo balance the extravagance of the dress, Rita Ora opted for delicate white Brian Atwood sandals and styled her hair in loose waves, complemented by pale pink lips (Credit: Lia Toby / WENN)

Rita opted for pared-down styling — going only for simple thinly strapped sandals from Brian Atwood and gold-tone jewelry.

What we love about this is how fresh Rita looks. The dress worked wonders with her complexion. It made her look young and carefree.

“Teen awards!! I had the best time EVER! Thank you for being easy with me! I was nervous but by the end I didn’t want to leave!! Congratulations to all the winners! Till next time!” Ora captioned a photo on Instagram.
