Who: Rita Ora.

When: Thursday, August 11.

Where: The premiere of The Get Down in the Bronx, New York.

What: A Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2016 couture gown.

Why: Never one to shy away from theatrics, Gaultier’s Spring 2016 couture collection was full of nightclub inspirations and retro details — brocade, pillbox hats, more than a share of metallics. Ora translates one such look perfectly to red carpet, foregoing the bomber that showed up on the runway in favor of a stripped-back look that highlights the cage overlay. She’s taking her new Top Model gig very seriously, and so far, it’s working.
