British fashion’s night of nights has unfolded in London overnight with some of the world’s biggest stars hitting the red carpet in head-turning looks.

Leading A-list arrivals at the 2024 British Fashion Awards was UK pop star Rita Ora, who debuted an edgy new look at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall.

Ora, 34, rocked a peroxide blonde pixie cut, a stark departure from her usual long hair.

She teamed her updated hairdo with a grey suit, striped blouse and pink tie.
