Rita Ora looked unrecognizable at this year's Fashion Awards and it left a lasting impression on me and so many others.

The musician and TV host joined a slew of celebrities on Monday at The Fashion Awards 2024, presented by Pandora, at the Royal Albert Hall in London, England.

But it was Rita's look that's been permanently burned into my brain since I first saw it — in the best way — and I need to talk about it. But before we get to the reveal, let the record show that she's always loved experimenting with her style and beauty trends, from bleached eyebrows...

...and this wet pixie cut at the Met Gala. She's never been afraid to try something new and unexpected, and I've always loved that about her.

But recalling some of her most daring looks from the past couldn't have prepared me for her appearance at the 2024 Fashion Awards. Okay, the wait is over. Here she is:

At first, it was a jump scare, but I think that might be the objective, because the more I look at it, the more I — dare I say — love it?! Fashion is supposed to be fun, and I think Rita's having one hell of a time!

She brought back the bleached eyebrows and paired them with an edgy, spiked blonde mullet. She accentuated her face with bold eyelashes and copper-colored lipstick to make things pop.

But it was what she wore that really pulled the look together. Rita rocked a baggy, '80s-style suit with a striped button-down shirt and pink polka-dot tie. The clashing prints and various shades of gray were the perfect touch.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the chunky jewelry. Are y'all seeing the mixed metals throughout her bangles, rings, and earrings?!? I'm obsessed!
