Rita Ora brought a dynamic take to all-white winter dressing while out in New York City.

Ahead of her countdown appearance on “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” with Ryan Seacrest, Ora appeared in the city’s Tribeca neighborhood in a glossy pair of boots. The “Let You Love Me” singer’s style featured cream patent leather uppers with sharply pointed toes, elongated by faintly angled heels.

The singer’s stark set added a sleek edge to her ensemble for the occasion: a thick, voluminous white coat with an ankle-length hemline. The piece earned added flair from its mixed allover shearling paneling, creating a fluffy style statement. Ora finished her look in minimal style with gold huggie hoop earrings and a set of oversized brown and black sunglasses, allowing its textures to take center stage.

However, this wasn’t Ora’s only sharp footwear of the day. Later in the evening, the singer rehearsed for “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” with Ryan Seacrest in Times Square in a pair of glossy black boots. This style featured a round-toed silhouette with studded outsoles and a thick, lug-soled base — bringing her outfit practical balance with a punky edge.
