Rita Ora gets it very right with chic corset and culottes to switch on Christmas lights in London

The first big name to light up London for Christmas this year was Rita Ora, who stepped out to turn on the lights at Westfield Shopping Centre in Shepherd's Bush on Monday night. 
Rita, 23, was getting it right for once when she graced the red carpet in a checkered culottes ensemble and a subtle shade of candyfloss pink to her hair.
She highlighted her athletic physique with the structured outfit before hitting the stage for a special performance at the West London hot spot.

Ditching her familiar long blonde locks, Rita debuted a cute pink hairstyle that framed her face and matched her nude pink lipstick.


Ready for her guest appearance, Rita arrived in a coat that matched her get up with the same wide silver check print.
Rita was invited to Westfield to perform for the London crowd on Monday - a day when she teased fans that she would be releasing new music.
The star suffered an embarrassing flop when it came to promoting a single release however, as she asked for 100k retweets in exchange for a track teaser.

She said: 'Dropping my new song monday if this get 100,000 retweets.'
The tweet was quickly deleted from Rita's page when the Black Widow singer received a measly 1,850 responses.
Avoiding further embarrassment, it was later blamed on a hacker when the 23-year-old insisted that the drop would have been an unwanted leak.

'Or the bots insist on it! When it’s ready we will drop music! Luckily I caught the hacker really quickly and deleted the post. Thank you!!' 
While her music may not have garnered much interest at the weekend, her stage presence certainly did, when she stepped out to perform to a strong crowd.

Inspired by her Halloween ensemble this weekend, Rita appeared to have changed her platinum hue for a pink one after dressing up as Barbie at the Death Of A Geisha party on Friday night.
With her new coloured hair, the singer would be a great match for her green-haired boyfriend Ricky Hil, who joined her at the event at the weekend.
Unfortunately for Rita, her fashion prowess turned into a style fail when she hit the stage at Westfield.
The singer poked fun at her baggy ensemble as she added platform trainers to dance around the stage.
