Rita Ora took inspiration from the country legend Dolly Parton for this year's Halloween, as she transformed into the star for a party in New York on Friday.

The singer, 35, headed to The Frankie Shop's Halloween party in the Big Apple with her cleavage on display in a low-cut crop top.

Dolly died in August at the age of 80 after a 'brief' battle with cancer, with stars from across the music world paying tribute.

Rita also channelled Dolly's iconic blonde beehive, sporting a wig that emulated the look as she headed to the party.

Her head-turning ensembles come after she stole the spotlight as she supported her husband Taika Waititi at the premiere of his new film Klara And The Sun.

She arrived for the red carpet at the BFI London Film Festival in a kooky black lace gown and a huge headpiece.

Rita commanded attention with her fun look which included her sheer lace dress with a puffball skirt, and matching thorny fascinator.

Alongside posing with her proud spouse, she was joined by the film's stars Jenna Ortega and Amy Adams.

Rita's outing was her first since it emerged she is being sued by her former manager for £3.2million over claims she did not hand over a percentage of her earnings.

The singer parted ways from her ex-manager Sarah Stennett in 2024 after working together since 2009, and it was claimed at the time they had disagreed over the 'direction of her career'.

However, things have since taken a turn and the FAE Ventures founder has lodged papers at the High Court claiming her firm is owed millions, meaning they are now locked in a legal battle.

They have claimed that Rita, who first signed with Sarah's company when she was 18, allegedly failed to hand over a cut of her earnings from tours and TV work.

The amount is said to be around the £3.2million mark, with documents claiming Rita violated contract terms by failing to pay the firm's cut. 

According to The Sun, the largest underpayment sum is just over £1.7million, with Sarah's firm claiming there were 'impermissible deductions' for professional services including advertising, accountancy and insurance.

There is another claim for £1.1million by 'unreported touring income' between spring 2019 and 2020 while on her Phoenix World Tour.

It is claimed in the document that payments to FAE 'failed to take account of certain touring income which the defendant had received (or which was received on her behalf) during that period'.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Sarah Stennett and Rita Ora's representatives who are yet to respond.
