She is known for her eye-catching sartorial displays.
So it is no surprise Rita Ora opted for a standout look to celebrate her 24th birthday earlier this week.
The singer was true to form in a zebra print ensemble as she enjoyed a night out with pals in her glamorous gear.

Birthday girl: Rita Ora opted for a
standout look to celebrate her 24th birthday as she rocked in a zebra
print ensemble while sitting on a toy zebra
It seems the singer was willing to poke fun out her outfit as she posed for a picture on a rocking zebra.
The singer's hairdresser, Chris Appleton, captioned the shot: ‘Happy Birthday Queen Ora @ritaora’.
Her
birthday week might have been somewhat tainted by furious Fifty Shades
Of Grey fans accusing her of looking like a 'man in drag' when the
first-look picture of her in the upcoming movie adaptation was released.
What a transformation: Rita was
spotted wearing a surprisingly simple outfit and low-key make-up as she
headed back to her London home on Thursday night
And Rita didn't seem her usual upbeat self as she headed home after a long day in the recording studio in London on Thursday.
The How We Do singer was also uncharacteristically dressed down in a very casual outfit.
Rita,
who never normally leaves the house without a slick of red lipstick,
had toned her make-up down and kept her peroxide blonde hair covered by a
hat.
But
it was her outfit that was the biggest shocker since there was no trace
of her famously outlandish and multi-coloured clothes.
The star instead opted for a sombre, head-to-toe black look comprising a baggy jumper, jeans and thigh-high leather boots.
Make-under: The star usually sports heavy make-up and bright red lipstick, but was surprisingly understated
Making music: The 24-year-old star is about to release her second album and had been in the studio all day
Watch out, Hollywood: Following a
cameo appearance in Fast & Furious 6, Rita will take on her first
real role in the upcoming Fifty Shades Of Grey movie
Her outing came just after fans made it known they weren't happy her makeover for the Fifty Shades film.
The
star plays kinky billionaire Christian Grey's adopted sister Mia in the
eagerly anticipated movie but after the first picture of her character
was revealed, fans took to the movie's Facebook page to share their dismay.
Comments
left by furious people ranged from disappointed to insulting, with one
person writing: 'She looks horrid. Mia is meant to be a cute girly
girl. Not looking like a man in drag.'
Meet little Grey: The first look of
Rita's character Mia was released on Wednesday but fans were horrified
by her wig and hit out on the movie's Facebook page
Stunning: The beautiful singer looked
fabulous as she hit up the American Music Awards red carpet in Los
Angeles on Sunday night
And
they continued, with other fans writing, 'She kind of ruins my hopes
for the movie,' 'Hope the wig looks better in the film,' 'Looks to old
to be Mia! Did the casting directors read the books before casting or
just went for the cheapest performers they could find?? (sic)'
Another
rant said: 'This whole film has been ruined by their ridiculous choice
in actors!! Why on earth is Rita ora being included in films these days
she was c**p and pointless in fast 6 so why is she in this what a
disappointment (sic).'
Described
as 'Christian's lively and vivacious little sister, Rita transformed
into Mia Grey by swapping her platinum locks for a darker and much
shorter wig.
Unhappy: Fans took to Twitter to vent their fury at Rita's makeover and the decision to cast her as Mia Grey
In
the photo, Mia is dressed in a navy and beige floral top with silver
dangling earrings for a more conservative look than Rita's usual style
of dress.
But it left fans of the kinky book series disappointed that Rita did not match the description of Mia in the book.
Meanwhile, Rita - who previously had a small cameo in Furious 6, is excited about her latest role.
'Fifty Shades is going to make a lot of waves, I'll tell you that much,' she told OK! Magazine recently.
Mama Grey: Oscar winning actress Marcia Gay Harden portrays the role of Christian's mother Dr. Gace Trevelyan Grey
Father figure: Andrew Airlie plays Carrick Grey, the adopted father of Christian and Mia
Keeping close: Rita shared a number of snaps on her Instagram page, including this one thanking her companion for a great shoot
The
Black Widow singer continued: 'It's going to be awesome. Everyone is
going to have their own opinions. But for me this was such a great cameo
to be involved in, and even though I'm only in it for a little bit,
it's opened the door to a lot of movie things that I haven't actually
announced yet.'
On
catching the acting bug, she said: 'I have the bug, for real. Fifty
Shades was a moment of cameo and a really good wake-up call. It was nice
to be a part of it and it opened a lot of doors.'
But don't expect to find Rita in those steamy sex scenes like her character's big brother Christian.
In July, she told Fuse that she wouldn't be 'the most sexual in the movie.'
In
addition to the unveiling of Rita's character, the faces behind Jamie
Dornan's onscreen parents Carrick and Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey have been
revealed.
How festive! The hitmaker also hit London's Somerset House for an ice-skating session with three firends
Look who it is? She posted one of her receiving a video-call from 'wifey' Cara Delevingne on her birthday
Steamy scenes ahead: More details of
the Grey family dynamics are found in the book, which recently was given
a steamy new book cover art
Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden will portray Christian's mother while Andrew Airlie plays the Grey patriarch.
Earlier in the year, Marcia talked with The Huffington Post about her role and could not stop gushing about her fictional son.
'He's beautiful,' she told the site in March. 'He's a chiseled beauty and the camera eats it up. He's a sweet guy.'
Final touches! It was back to work for
Rita who tweeted: 'Filming day today with these two making me laugh
@eosborne_makeup @chrisappleton1 #VoiceUK #TeamRITA'
The infamous red room: Marcia revealed, 'If you are not in the red playroom of pain... it's much like doing any other movie'
And she also dished that the steamy S&M scenes are all saved for Anastasia Steele, played by actress Dakota Johnson.
'If
you are not in the red playroom of pain and pleasure with some naked
flesh in your face and a sex toy in your hand, the experience of
shooting the movie is much like doing any other movie,' said Marcia.
'I'm the mom. I'm momma Grey.'
Fifty Shades Of Grey is slated for release on Valentine's Day 2015.
Packed with lust: Rita dished that 'Fifty Shades is going to make a lot of waves'
