Rita Ora shows off stunning new hair as she ditches her long blonde locks for a chic brunette bob while stepping out in NYC

Rita Ora showed off her stunning new hair look as she stepped out in New York City on Thursday.

The singer, 33, ditched her long blonde locks and debuted a chic brunette bob during the outing.

She looked sensational in a racy black cut-out top and smart flared trousers, as she boosted her height with chunky heels.

Rita also took to Instagram to upload some glowing snaps showing off her new outfit as she posed up a storm for the camera.

The singer wrote in the caption, “Sometimes you have to cut out the things in life that don’t serve you. #newchop @dimitrishair @samanthalmua.”

Rita also took to Instagram to upload some glowing snaps showing off her new outfit as she posed up a storm for the camera (seen right with her usual long blonde hair in December 2023)

She looked beautiful in the photos as she wore only a white hotel robe and glamorous makeup.

It comes after the star last week thanked her 16 million fans on Instagram for their support of her latest single Shape Of You.

It is a collaboration with Australian-American country artist Keith Urban, with whom Rita is a judge on The Voice Australia.

She wrote: ‘Thanks for all the excitement about the new version of Shape Of Me with @keithurban!! You guys made this song even more special and I didn’t think that was possible.”

Rita’s third studio album You & I was released in 2023, but the singer has not toured since 2019.

She is married to director Taika Waititi, 48, who released his latest film Next Goal Wins in November 2023.

They got married in August 2022, but Rita didn’t confirm the marriage until January 2023 when she told Heart FM: ‘Yes (I’m married).

‘I’m officially off the market folks. I’ve chosen to keep it more private and to myself, but with my new video I’m responding to what could have been.’

She admitted: ‘When the rumors came out – isn’t she? – I wanted to play it. I wanted to have a wedding that didn’t go to plan… that doesn’t mean it actually happened.”

Rita recently opened up about whether or not children are on the horizon, admitting that her relationship with Taika has made her “more mature.”

The singer said Blag magazine that getting married was enough pressure, but ‘then it’s like having kids and all these things they teach you. But I never believed in that.’

She and Taika certainly have plenty of space now that they’ve purchased a three-story townhouse in New Zealand.

Rita rose to fame in 2012 with the single Hot Right Now, the first ever drum and bass number one in Britain.
