Rita Ora Strips Down For Topless Bathtub Moment

Rita Ora is proving once again that she doesn’t need a stage (or even clothes) to steal the spotlight. The singer sent Instagram into a frenzy after posting a topless bathtub photo from Abu Dhabi that put her unapologetic confidence on full display. Posed mid-soak, Rita rocked a crystal-detailed headpiece while strategically covering up her chest. She kept the caption simple, “My last 24 hours,” but fans immediately took it as an invitation to praise and gush over the singer.

On the third slide of the same post, Rita turns up the heat even more by shifting into a side-facing pose that puts her curves on full display. Seated in the tub with her knees drawn in, she strategically covers herself once again, this time with one arm over her chest while giving the camera a direct, sultry look.

The comments section lit up with praise, with followers calling her “a vision,” “stunning,” and “absolutely gorgeous,” while hearts and fire emojis stacked up fast. Celeb friends joined the hype too, including Paris Hilton, who dropped a heart-eyes reaction.

The striking bathtub snaps also land at a moment when Rita Ora has made it clear she’s stepping into a brand-new chapter. Back in October 2025, just over 13 years after releasing her debut album, Ora told Rolling Stone AU/NZ that she was ready to reintroduce herself to the world after years of feeling stuck in a nonstop grind.

She admitted she’d spent more than a decade questioning her identity as an artist and craving space to evolve beyond expectations. “I just felt like I was on a hamster wheel for a while,” she said, explaining that she intentionally stripped everything back to reconnect with who she is now, not who people remember her as.

That mindset led to "All Natural," a title she described as deeply personal. For Ora, “natural” isn’t just aesthetic, it’s emotional and empowering, reflecting her growth as a woman who’s no longer playing it safe or trying to fit a mold.

She emphasized wanting to embrace strength, confidence, and self-ownership, particularly when it comes to sexuality and sensuality, not as shock value, but as celebration.

Ora also acknowledged that she’s not entirely sure where her current sound fits within the pop landscape of 2025 and going into 2026, especially with genre-defining stars like Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter dominating the charts, but she made it clear that fitting neatly into a box isn’t her priority.

“I try not to look at it because I do believe that when you try and do something that you think people want, it usually doesn’t work,” Ora explained, admitting it’s tempting for artists to chase whatever sound is trending. “As an artist, you’re like, ‘OK, well that’s popular, let’s just try and do something similar.’ But then it’s like, what’s your identity?”

Instead of imitation, Ora says she’s focused on carving out her own lane. While she draws inspiration from what’s popular, she insists she doesn’t chase it. “I definitely love the idea of pop music having different faces,” she said, noting that today’s landscape leaves room for everything from pop to hip-hop and rap.

Whether she’s dropping music, making red carpet appearances, or casually breaking the internet from a bathtub, Rita Ora continues to show she knows exactly how to own the moment.
