When it comes to stylish seasonal dressing, one famed face always on our radar is It-brit Rita Ora, and her latest spring-fuelled look proves exactly why.
It’s become abundantly clear over the past year that Rita prefers chasing the sunshine, spending six months in the northern hemisphere and the other six down-under in both New Zealand and Australia.
Currently spending time in Australia’s sunny Gold Coast where temperatures are sitting around the 28°C mark, Rita has made sure to dress to the current sweltering climate, recently styling a spring-approved look that we will most definitely be recreating.

Styling a set of micro mini red shorts with a button-up short-sleeve printed shirt, her beloved yellow sunglasses, a red Ralph Lauren Polo cap and an electric blue side bag, the actress and singer made a strong case for eclectic summer dressing.

Wearing the ‘Tabi Sandal 200’ in Leopard from cult favourite footwear brand, Tabi. The bizarre shoes are made up from a comfortable combination of tencel knit and spandex and feature a Tabi toe, which to those not in the fashion sphere can be described as a pig-trotter-esque design.

Now, the style has skyrocketed to style stardom, donned in ballet flats, boots and heel form by the likes of Anya Taylor Joy, Emma Chamberlain, Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa and now, Rita Ora.
Rita’s particular sandal option fuses together one of the style sphere’s most loved prints (leopard) and designs together to be the perfect SS25 shoe choice for lovers of fashion, comfort and conversation.
