It’s one thing to wear as a designer but another to dress as a designer. At the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November 2018, Rita Ora was like a replica of Donatella herself in a hair-to-toe Versace look, complete with a long, straight, platinum-blonde wig.

Incidentally, on the same day, Donatella Versace attended another red carpet event on the other side of the ocean.

Is anyone else also getting Kim Kardashian at the 2018 Met Gala vibes from Rita Ora’s ensemble?

Iconic Versace Heels and Accessories Complete the Look

Rita finished with classic Versace ankle-strap sandals, the same shoes Penelope Cruz is a big fan of and owns in at least five different colors.

Back on Stage: Rita Ora’s Dazzling Versace Bodysuit and Boots

Rita later hit the stage at the fashion show to perform alongside the strutting Victoria’s Secret models.

She again donned a fully crystal-studded, custom Versace look composed of a belted lace bodysuit, a medallion-studded beret, and glittering crystal-mesh thigh-high boots.

Rita might’ve been aware that Nicki Minaj just wore a very similar Versace bodysuit to the 2018 MTV EMAs, so she differentiated her look by adding heavy-looking gold chain jewelry.

Gold Chains and Crystal Thigh-High Boots: A Closer Look

While Rita did get the audience’s attention with her appropriately lingerie-inspired stage wardrobe, she might’ve gone overboard with the gold chains.

Rita’s Versace crystal-studded boots offered some serious sparkle! However, they were still no match to the $15,000 Brian Atwood crystal-star constellation boots, which were easily the best shoes of the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
