Rita Ora’s Hat Steals the Show at Vanity Fair Oscars 2026 After-Party

Rita Ora was feeling a super, massive black hat.

The judge from The Masked Singer made a bold fashion choice at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on March 15th, immediately following the Academy Awards ceremony hosted by Conan O’Brien.

Rita chose a floral-inspired outfit, wearing a Tamara Ralph gown with a see-through black bodice decorated with vibrant blue, green, and white flowers. The floral embroidery continued onto the skirt, which featured flowing layers and a large bow at the back, culminating in an embroidered black train.

The real highlight of the 35-year-old’s outfit was her dramatic, feathered black hat, which definitely turned heads on the red carpet. She completed the look with sparkling diamond earrings, a watch, bracelets, and rings.

I noticed Rita Ora arrived at the event all by herself, looking stunning as she walked the gray carpet. It was a bit surprising, though, since her husband, Taika Waititi, wasn’t with her.

Rita and her partner got married in a private ceremony in August 2022, and Rita understands the key to their successful relationship.

Rita shared with TopMob News at the 2024 Emmys that they constantly motivate one another. She explained that with her background in music and his work as a writer, director, and filmmaker, their home is always buzzing with new ideas.

“We’re both fire signs, too,” she added. “So it’s just fire, fire, fire.”

Rita playfully claimed she’s the comedian of the pair, and shared that she and the Oscar-winning actor consistently support each other.

The pair are collaborating professionally and will both produce a new musical based on the disastrous 2017 Fyre Festival. Taiki is excited about their involvement in the project.

The 50-year-old described the project as thrilling, unusual, and possibly a huge mistake – exactly the kind of challenge they enjoy, as they shared in a statement to People magazine. They’re eager to begin and excited about the financial opportunities American theatre offers.
