Rita Ora lit up the stage at the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection concert in New York City on Wednesday night.
The event, hosted at Jazz At Lincoln Center, aims to spread the word about America’s most prolific killer of women – heart disease.
The 32-year-old pop actor lent her musical talent to the occasion, singing up a storm in a themed crimson ensemble.
Her cropped ensemble was almost see-through, allowing her to show off her slim legs as she stormed the stage.
Rita is joined by a phalanx of backing artists for her latest performance following the release of her latest single, You Only Love Me.
With what she’s got: Rita Ora lit up the stage at the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection concert in New York City on Wednesday night
Earlier in the evening, she strutted the red carpet in a much more conservative but still strikingly bright crimson ensemble.
She slipped out of her enviably muscular frame in a fitted red dress with a turtleneck and voluminous sleeves that fell to her ankles.
Rita, who was born in the then Yugoslav capital of Pristina, gave photographers an alluring view from here.
She accentuated her signature features with heavy makeup and added a touch of sparkle to the look with subtle earrings.
Her dark hair was pinned in sleek waves which she let fall down her back as she strolled the red carpet during the star-studded affair.
Wednesday was a block for Rita, who also performed her new single on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that day.
She was spotted out and about in New York City in a striking ensemble with sheer lace pants.
She wore no bra under a sheer black crop top and fended off the North East winter chill by donning a matching leather jacket.

Rita looked cheerful as she worked through her busy schedule, smiling and waving as she strolled around the city.
She added to the ensemble’s showbiz glamor by clipping on a sparkling jeweled necklace and accentuating her slender frame with a lace belt around her waist.
Although Go Red For Women hosted Wednesday’s concert, the event was initiated by The Heart Truth of the National Heart, Lung And Blood Institute.
Last year’s 20th anniversary concert was headlined by none other than Destiny’s Child alumna Kelly Rowland.
Her co-headliner was Canadian singer Lauren Spencer-Smith, who competed on American Idol two years earlier.
Notable guests who took the stage last year included Garcelle Beauvais, Vivica A. Fox, Christina Milian and Star Jones.
Each year, Go Red For Women features a group of “Real Women” chosen from across the United States to be their ambassadors.
According to the American Heart Association, this year’s class consists of 12 women from diverse backgrounds, all of whom are survivors of stroke or heart disease.
