Rita Ora puts on a leggy display in grey shorts and a leather jacket as she leaves hotel in Venice during the International Film Festival

Rita Ora put on a leggy display as she departed the St. Regis hotel in Venice during the International Film Festival on Friday.

The singer, 32, ensured all eyes were on her as she slipped into a beige top with a low cut neckline which she paired with a Prada leather jacket.

Showcasing her toned pins, Rita donned a pair of dark grey shorts while she also wore a pair of black boots.

Carrying a dark brown leather handbag, the How To Be Lonely hitmaker also wore a simple silver necklace.

Letting her blonde locks fall loose down her shoulders, Rita completed her look with a pair of stylish sunglasses.  

Looking in good spirits as she left the hotel, Rita accentuated her natural beauty with a light palette of makeup.

The 80th Venice International Film Festival is organised by La Biennale di Venezia and directed by Alberto Barbera. 

It will take place at Venice Lido from August 30, to September 9, 2023 and is officially recognised by the FIAPF (International Federation of Film Producers Association). 

The festival opened with the premiere of Italian World War Two film Comandante, directed by Edoardo De Angelis. 

The event will close with a Spanish-language Netflix drama Society of the Snow.

The festival marks the start of the awards season and regularly throws up big favourites for the Oscars. 

Eight of the past 11 best director awards at the Oscars went to films that debuted at Venice.

There are several categories making up the official selection of films shown, the top being those competing for the coveted Golden Lion award.

New films by directors including Bradley Cooper, Yorgos Lanthimos, David Fincher, Michael Mann, Sofia Coppola, Ava DuVernay and Ryusuke Hamaguchi will compete for the prestigious award.

Movie stars and directors traditionally enjoy travelling to the lagoon city to launch their films. 

However, this year will offer a bit less sparkle than usual because a Hollywood actors’ strike will prevent many stars from promoting their work here.
