Blonde bombshell Rita Ora invited fans into her bedroom in a playful new shoot.

The 22-year-old slipped between the sheets for Out magazine, but swapped conventional sleepwear for a kooky leotard and gold blouse.

In another frame, she kicked up her heels against a leather headboard while wearing the same silky top, but this time teamed with patterned trousers.

Despite her glamorous image, the British singer admits she remains a tomboy at heart and is still getting used to high heels.

'Growing up, I would usually just be like one of the boys,' she said. 'I became kind of a sneakerhead.'

She also paid tribute to father figure Jay-Z for shaping her career as she prepares to launch her first album stateside.

The hip-hop mogul signed How We Do singer to his Roc Nation label in 2009 and is a key figure in the starlet's life.

She says she has thrived under the close-knit tutelage of the Roc-Nation label.

'The first thing Jay said to me was "Hey, kid!"' Ora said. "He raised me a little bit. It's very much of a family feeling.'

Ora admitted she suffered a dose of stagefright when Jay-Z and wife Beyonce showed up for her debut U.S. concert in New York last April.

'I was singing Say My Name and I was nervous because it was in front of the queen!' Ora recalled. 'She did give me the stamp of approval at the end.'

The singer's debut album Ora went to number one on the UK charts when it was released and will shortly be released stateside.

The youngster moved to the U.S. four years ago to further her career but remains close to her parents.

'My mum calls me up every once in a while and says "Are you eating? Are you sleeping?". You know, mum stuff,' she said.

Ora posed in a sexy photo shoot for Out wearing a billowy golden silk blouse paired with a floral print trousers.
