MTV EMAs: Rita Ora dazzles in a bright lemon ruffled mini dress as she poses up a storm on socially-distanced red carpet

She is known for pushing fashion boundaries with her bold and daring outfit choices.

And Rita Ora shined bright in a tiered tulle dress in a lemon hue on Sunday, as she strutted down the black carpet for the MTV EMAs 2020.

The songstress, 29, matched her playful outfit with a playful pose as she attended the 37th annual awards ceremony, which was pre-recorded at various locations across the world,  in style. 

Centre of attention: Rita Ora shined bright in a tiered tulle dress in a lemon hue on Sunday, as she strutted down the black carpet for the MTV EMAs 2020.

She paired her ruffled dress with glitzy mesh heels and a velvet headband that featured delicate netting to frame her visage. 

Rita tucked her blonde tresses back in a neat hairdo and rocked a warm make-up look as she delivered a care-free smile to the camera.   

This year’s ceremony was hosted by Little Mix’s Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards and Liegh-Anne Pinnock. 

Jesy Nelson was meant to co-host the show with her bandmates but was forced to pull out due to illness.
