They're so close they have nicknamed each other 'wifey'.

But it appears that isn't the only thing they share after Rita Ora scored a top modelling job with DKNY after Cara Delevingne also posed for the brand.

English singer Rita looked flawless as she stopped traffic in New York City's Times Square on Tuesday as she posed up a storm for the fashion house's Resort 2014 collection.

Wearing a black dress and mesh jacket, she strutted down the street before hailing one of New York's iconic yellow taxi cabs.

On Tuesday morning, Rita admitted she was squeezing in a last minute workout to make sure her figure looked perfect for the shoot.
