British singer-songwriter Rita Ora and acclaimed filmmaker Taika Waititi made a stunning appearance at the 2024 Met Gala in New York City, turning heads with their elegant styles and the evident chemistry between them. The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, truly shone on the red carpet, drawing the admiration of both onlookers and the media.

For this year’s gala, themed ‘The Garden of Time,’ Rita Ora chose a remarkable outfit designed by Tom Ford and styled by Tom Eerebout, as reported by People magazine. Her ensemble consisted of a mesh bodysuit intricately adorned with strands of colorful ancient beads, some dating back to the first and second centuries BC. Rita shared the historical significance of her attire in an interview, saying, “Some of the beads are older than anyone on this planet,” highlighting the unique and historical aspects of her Met Gala look.

Complementing Rita’s stunning attire, Taika Waititi showcased his distinctive sense of style. Styled by Jeanne Yang, he wore an all-brown leather suit by Marni, complete with a matching tie and gloves, exuding a refined and sophisticated presence.

This appearance marked another Met Gala outing for the couple, who first attended the event together last year, shortly after their private wedding in 2022. Rita, known for keeping details of her personal life private, had initially kept their marriage under wraps, enjoying the early days of their union in intimacy.

Reflecting on their fast-paced journey from engagement to marriage, Rita disclosed the swift timeline that left her with little time to select a wedding dress, adding a personal touch to her narrative of their whirlwind romance.
