The then-25-year-old songstress went for total glam in a Jean Paul Gaultier Couture spring 2016 red-and-black tuxedo gown. A sculpted wire corset, chain link shoulder straps, and eyelet lacing at the rear added an avant-garde twist to the frock.

The Dsquared2 ‘Riri’ Sandals: A Statement with a Small Slip-Up
Rita’s striking ensemble could have been flawless if not for a minor footwear faux pas.
The “Body on Me” singer accidentally left the price labels on the soles of her Dsquared2 “Riri” heels, drawing unintended attention to her shoes. Additionally, the labels revealed her shoe size—European size 39, which translates to a US size 8.

It’s a small mistake compared to other wardrobe malfunctions, but it’s big enough to take away from Rita’s overall look.
