Rita Ora gave white knee-high boots three times the lace at the Isle of Wight Festival on Saturday, performing at Seaclose Park in Newport in a pair threaded up the front, back and outer side.

Ora wore a white style with a smooth paneled upper, a tapered toe and three distinct lacing systems. Tonal cords crossed from the vamp to the top of the shaft in front. Along the outside and rear, Ora had shorter laddered sections running between the panels.

The construction included a zipper along the interior side, leaving the decorative lacing fixed. The “Anywhere” singer stood on moderate-height geometric heels, each cut with a slanted inner edge and narrower base, while her overhead kick during the performance revealed thin dark outsoles.

She paired the intricate boots with deconstructed silver-and-white tailoring. Ora layered a long striped vest, cut with broad shoulders and asymmetrical draped tails, over a bra patterned in darker silver and slate lines. At her hips, she arranged folded striped panels in overlapping directions for a plaid-like effect, then added white satin bikini briefs and pale yellow ribbon flowers. Ora finished with oversized tinted glasses, a large silver flower pendant, sculptural earrings and stacked metallic cuffs for more hard shine.

Ora’s choice came eight days after Lisa performed at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in white Ssimeez Platform Lace-up Long Boots. The Blackpink member chose a rounded toe, a platform measuring 5.5 centimeters and tonal lacing concentrated down the front.

Ora has returned to lace-up boots for major performances before. At the 2023 Invictus Games closing ceremony, she performed in high-heeled black lace boots with a sheer crisscross catsuit and cape. She has also kept more architectural heels in her red carpet rotation. In March, Ora paired a Tamara Ralph couture look with D’Accori’s glossy black Belle platforms, which featured a thick front platform and sculptural hourglass heel.

Ora took the third-from-top Main Stage slot on Saturday, following Rick Astley and performing before Teddy Swims and headliner Calvin Harris.
