Rita Ora leaves nothing to the imagination in her black mesh jumpsuit at the film festival premiere
Rita Ora made a striking arrival on the opening night of the 80th Venice International Film Festival on Wednesday evening.
The singer, 32, left little to the imagination in a black mesh polka dot catsuit which revealed her shimmering underwear.
She completed the glamorous ensemble with a white fur coat and platform heels, while accessorising with quirky sunglasses.
Rita styled her golden tresses in waves, while sporting a bronzed makeup palette with a nude lip.
The Poison hitmaker appeared in great spirits while posing for snaps on a speed boat which was taking her to the event.
The Venice International Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world, with its 80th edition opening today.
The festival opens with the premiere of Italian World War Two film Comandante, directed by Edoardo De Angelis. The event will run until September 9 and closes with a Spanish-language Netflix drama Society of the Snow.
The Festival takes place on the Venice Lido — the so-called beach of Venice — a thin barrier island in the Venetian Lagoon, which is a short boat trip from the main city of Venice. Unlike Venice itself, cars have access to the Lido.
The festival marks the start of the awards season and regularly throws up big favourites for the Oscars. Eight of the past 11 best director awards at the Oscars went to films that debuted at Venice.
There are several categories making up the official selection of films shown, the top being those competing for the coveted Golden Lion award.
New films by directors including Bradley Cooper, Yorgos Lanthimos, David Fincher, Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola, Ava DuVernay and Ryusuke Hamaguchi will compete for the prestigious award.
Movie stars and directors traditionally enjoy travelling to the lagoon city to launch their films.
However, this year will offer a bit less sparkle than usual because a Hollywood actors’ strike will prevent many stars from promoting their work here.
