Anna Wintour Playfully Shades Anne Hathaway in Rare Oscars 2026 Appearance

Rita Ora was feeling a super, massive black hat. 

The Masked Singer judge opted for quite the fashion statement at the 2026 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on March 15 shortly after all the winners were announced at the Conan O’Brien-hosted Academy Awards

Rita went for a floral look, wearing a Tamara Ralph gown that featured a sheer, black, corse-style top embroidered with blue, green and white flowers. The bottom continued the embroidery, draping over itself with a giant bow in the back and an embroidered black train. 

But the true star of the 35-year-old’s look was her massive, feathered black hat, which made quite the statement on the red carpet. Rita finished off the look with diamond stud earrings, a watch, bracelets and rings. 

The “Let You Love Me” was solo at the event, strutting along the gray carpet without husband Taika Waiti.

The couple tied the knot during a private ceremony in August 2022 and Rita knows exactly what makes the duo’s relationship work so seamlessly. 

"We inspire each other," Rita told E! News at the 2024 Emmys. “With me coming from music and him being a writer, a director and a filmmaker, it's a house full of ideas.”

“We're both fire signs, too,” she added. “So it's just fire, fire, fire."

Plus, as Rita joked, “I am the funny one,” adding that she and the Oscar winner “help each other out, always."

And the two are helping each other in a professional sense, with both joining as producers on an upcoming musical about the 2017 Fyre Fest. And Taiki is thrilled for them to be taking on the show about the ill-fated music festival. 

“I think the idea is exciting, weird, and potentially disastrous, which seems apt and is how I like to work,” the 50-year-old said in a September statement to People. “I can't wait to get started and snatch me some of that sweet American theatre money."
