Rita Ora goes braless at MTV VMAS in New York

She has never been shy about flaunting her sensational physique ever since storming into the spotlight in 2012.

And true to form Rita Ora turned heads in a sheer embellished gown as she left the Bowery Hotel headed to MTV’s Video Music Awards in New York, shortly before locking lips with fellow songstress Bebe Rexha.

The songstress, 27, left almost nothing to the imagination as she went braless in the barely-there number, which was adorned with black swirls.

The star added to her quickly look with some striking accessorises, including a chunky glitzy choker and an ornate ring bracelet.

In her hand she toted a spherical gem-encrusted black evening bag, no doubt full of her essentials for the evening out.

The Girls hitmaker also added a black gem to the side of each eye, mirroring the decorative swirls that covered her dress.

The star not only turned heads with her racy gown, but with her saucy display with fellow singer Bebe Rexha in the press room.

Leaning in for a passionate kiss, the playful pair locked lips for the camera before staring into one another’s eyes and smiling.

Bebe, 28, looked sensational in a silver holographic crop-top which flaunted her toned abs, paired with a matching skirt.

A source told the publication: ‘Rita was hit hard by Avicii’s death and she knew she wanted to do something special to properly celebrate him and his legacy.’

Speaking about the singer’s previous tribute performances, the insider continued: ‘She has spoken about him on stage while performing the song but she was thrilled when the VMAs said they would like her to do something at the ceremony.’
