Rita Ora and Taika Waititi attended the event in St. Barths on Dec. 29.

Rita Ora made jaws drop and heads turn at the LuisaViaRoma for UNICEF Winter Gala.

The British singer showed off her toned abs in a midriff-baring dress that featured a crop top with silver diamond embellishments going over one shoulder and across her waist. She rocked matching gloves with the same embellishments, along with a tight skirt that flowed out into a dramatic feathered train.

With such a bold look, she kept her glamour pretty simple, letting her hair fall in loose waves over her shoulders. Her bronze makeup was topped off with a smoky eye and nude lip.

She attended the event with her husband and filmmaker, Taika Waititi, who debuted a buzz cut hairstyle and a clean beard. His outfit for the evening complimented Ora’s with a chic black velour jacket, a white button down shirt underneath, and black slacks.

The duo reportedly tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in London earlier this year.

Also in attendance at the gala, held in St. Barths on Dec. 29, was Naomi Watts, Lenny Kravitz, and Luke Evans. Funds raised at the event benefit UNICEF, an organization that protects vulnerable children around the world, per WWD.

Earlier in the week, Ora caught some sunshine when she posted photos from the beach donning a blue fishnet mini bikini. She paired the look with a matching blue midi skirt and accessorized with chunky gold bracelets and necklaces. She wore a peach-colored bandana on her head and sunglasses to complete the beachy look.

She's been having a rather stellar year when it comes to fashion. Earlier this month, she channeled a daring look for the 2022 British Fashion Awards in London. She appeared on the red carpet looking almost unrecognizable, donning a sea-themed beauty look via the addition of face prosthetics. The flesh-colored mermaid scales around her eyes covered her eyebrows, coming down and rounding out at her cheekbones.
