You can always rely on Rita Ora to bring the glam to any event.

The singer and The Voice Australia coach certainly delivered in Venice, Italy, serving up two very different barely-there outfits ahead of the amfAR gala on Sunday, which coincides with the 80th International Venice Film Festival this week.

The 32-year-old – who will perform at the fashion gala along with fellow British singer Leona Lewis – first rocked a Zadig & Voltaire outfit that consisted of leather and lace.

The sexy look comprised a sheer, lace crop top Ora teamed with PVC bottoms and a leather trench. She also wore a pair of open-toed, heeled, latex-look boots, and topped off her look with dark sunglasses.

That same day, the singer – who is married to film director Taika Waititi – went for a more feminine look in sheer dress designed by Italian fashion house Ermanno Scervino.

Although cut more demurely than her dominatrix look, Ora’s dress was still super-sexy, thanks to the sheer fabric adorned with crystals to strategically cover her modesty.

The Venice Film Festival marks the start of awards season in the entertainment industry.

However, with the ongoing writers’ and actors’ strike in Hollywood right now, it is unknown if big-name stars will make the trek to the Italian city.

This year will likely see less stars attending as the strike prohibits them from promoting their work in the US and overseas.

Amal and George Clooney are among the few who are attending the festival, although the actor is not there for work, rather to support his Human rights lawyer wife, who is being honoured with the DVF Leadership Award at the DVF Awards founded by designer Diane von Furstenberg.

Aussie model Jesinta Franklin also looked like a movie star when she walked the red carpet for the premiere of Ferrari at the festival on Thursday evening. The former Miss Universe Australia stunned in a black strapless velvet Armani dress.
