She’s known for her jaw dropping fashion choices and daring outfits.
Yet Rita Ora took it to a whole new level as she donned an eye catching look for the British Fashion Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday.

Her stylish had clearly done an incredible job, as the spikes appeared to grow out from her skin ranging from smaller gems to full grown spikes all the way down her spine.
