It was a party to celebrate 25 years of DKNY, so the star studded guest list was of course littered with clothing items from the collection.

But none quite so much as Rita Ora, who wore a whole wardrobe of brandished outfits as she took to the stage then partied the night away.

The singer first of all arrived looking demure in a black and white printed knee-length frock with sparkly pointy heels.

She kept warm in a large white blazer, which looked plain from the front but when she turned around she revealed a number 25 in a matching printed pattern as the frock.

But as the night went on she went more bold and brash in her outfit choices.

The 22-year-old jumped on stage to entertain the crowds by belting out some of her hits, first of all in a pair of DKNY trousers.

The pants had thick and bold letters in black and white, while she even wore a matching baggy sweatshirt with the same stand out print in a PVC-type fabric.

She of course matched her shoes to the monochrome theme as she gave it her all into the microphone.

Rita later removed the sweatshirt to reveal yet another brandished DKNY top underneath.

The white sleeveless top again had the iconic DKNY print letters across it.

Ora was joined on stage by Iggy Azalea and actress Emmy Rossum, who both danced next to her as she continued singing.

But it wasn’t long before she put on an even more stand out ensemble.

At one point Rita put on a floorlength coat with the same black and white DKNY print, with the hood pulled up over her head.

And it wasn’t only on stage that she kept up with the theme to mark the milestone in Donna Karan’s label.

Rita also wore the coat with the hood up as she posed for pictures next to the special DKNY cake, which was made in the shape of a New York taxi.

She also posed next to the woman herself, Donna Karan, who wore her own DKNY sweatshirt for the occasion.
