Rita Ora Forgets Her Underwear In Uber-Revealing Dress At Vanity Fair Oscars After Party (PICS)

Rita Ora ensured all eyes were on her at the Vanity Fair Oscars after party when she rocked up in an uber-revealing dress.

From the front, the singer’s floor-length black dress looked like a pretty generic red carpet gown, but from the side it was a rather different story.

The transparent side panels showed off Rita’s tattoo and rather a lot of her derriere too.

She impressed on the Oscars red carpet in a full-skirted, midnight blue Marchesa gown (complete with bodyguard) before changing into a voluminous black and white princess-style Vera Wang design for her on-stage performance. 

The Brit star gave a stripped-down performance of the Diane Warren-penned ‘Grateful’ from the film ‘Beyond The Lights’.

Lady Gaga Sheds Distinctive Style For Traditional Gown For 'The Sound Of Music' Tribute For Dame Julie Andrews

Lady Gaga may have stunned onlookers with her washing up gloves when she appeared on the Oscars red carpet, but it turned out she had an even bigger trick up her sleeves(?) - reminding any doubters that, behind all the pop production that's made her a disco star, is a very fine pair of lungs.

Gaga, with her meat frocks and dog collars, may have seemed an unlikely choice for the tribute to 'The Sound of Music' - celebrating its 50th anniversary - but she knocked it out of the theatre, with a medley including 'The Hills Are Alive', 'My Favourite Things', 'Edelweiss' and 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain', as originally performed byJulie Andrews in the 1965 film.

And if all that wasn't surprising enough, Dame Julie appeared on stage to embrace Lady G and thank her. She said, "It really warmed my heart, it really did."
