Rita Ora's Glamorous Evening in Saint-Tropez: A Night of Style and Revelations
RITA ORA SHINES AT ST-TROPEZ SUMMER GALA: SINGER SLAYS IN BUSTY BLACK DRESS AND DENIES "BECKY" RUMORS
The glamorous Saint-Tropez Summer Gala by Gala One was the place to be on Thursday, with a star-studded lineup that included Rita Ora, Jamie Foxx, Frida Aasen, Kelly Rutherford, and many more. The 34-year-old singer turned heads in a stunning black midi dress that showcased her incredible figure, paired with sleek black heels and a vintage-inspired velvet handbag.
But it wasn't just her outfit that stole the show – Rita's confidence and body positivity message was the real highlight of the evening. The singer has been open about her struggles with body image in the past, revealing on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast that she felt "ugly" in her late 20s because she didn't fit the traditional beauty standards.
"I think for me, the idea of looking a certain way in my late 20s was when it started to hit me," Rita explained. "I wasn't as thin as other people, I wasn't taking care of myself, and I felt like my body wasn't 'hot'. And that's really sad to think back on because I know I wasn't ugly – I just didn't accept myself."
But it seems Rita has come a long way since then. The singer partnered with Dove's Self Esteem Project for the podcast episode, sharing her message of self-acceptance and body confidence. "I believe that body confidence starts with self-care, focusing on what your body needs – not what it looks like," she wrote on Instagram.
Rita's words were music to the ears of fans who have been following her journey towards self-love. But what's even more remarkable is the support she has from a fellow A-list celebrity: Beyoncé! The singer revealed on Davina McCall's Begin Again podcast that Beyoncé has always been her "protector" and "fairy godmother".
"Beyoncé was literally my protector – behind closed doors, there was nothing but love," Rita shared. This revelation comes after Rita was wrongly accused of being the infamous "Becky with the good hair" in Beyoncé's 2016 album Lemonade.
Fans were quick to speculate that Rita was the mystery woman who allegedly had an affair with Jay-Z, leading to a media frenzy and public scrutiny. But Rita set the record straight on multiple occasions, finally speaking out about the rumors on her podcast appearance.
Despite the drama, Rita's message of self-love and acceptance shines through. As she took to the stage at the Saint-Tropez Summer Gala, she was joined by Jamie Foxx, Frida Aasen, Kelly Rutherford, Victoria Silvstedt, Casey Affleck, and Chantel Jeffries.
Jamie Foxx looked dapper in an all-white suit, while his daughter Corinne stunned in a black cut-out dress. Model Frida Aasen was effortlessly elegant in a satin brown halter-neck gown, highlighting her bronzed glow. Kelly Rutherford, on the other hand, radiated in a white off-the-shoulder lace dress.
The glamorous evening brought together stars from film, fashion, and music for a dazzling night on the French Riviera. Guests sipped on Clase Azul Tequila Reposado while being treated to a performance by Rita – the perfect way to cap off an unforgettable summer soiree.
As the evening drew to a close, it was clear that Rita Ora has truly come into her own. With her confidence, style, and message of self-acceptance, she's sure to be one to watch in the entertainment industry for years to come.
