Rita Ora was Chelsea's 'lucky charm' as she cheered them onto their 3-0 World Cup victory against Paris Saint-Germain in New York
The British singer-songwriter, 34, was open-mouthed with delight as she watched the action unfold at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, near New York.
Fist bumping with happiness, Rita cut a casually stylish figure in a black and pink silk scarf, which she accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a necklace.
The star kept her eyes protected as she watched the action unfold with a pair of black sunglasses, opting to wear her long hair down for the event.
She was described as the team's human lucky charm by her photographer friend Rosie Matheson, who shared the star's celebrations on Instagram.
Following the victory, the boys in blue were presented with the World Cup trophy by President Donald Trump.

However, they looked confused when the president failed to leave the podium during their celebrations, with Cole Palmer appearing to ask, 'What is he doing?'
Rita's appearance at the game came after she showcased her toned midriff in a skimpy white top as she travelled on the subway while exploring Brooklyn on Friday.
The singer appeared to enjoy riding on the public transport around the New York City borough.
For her outing she stepped out in a white sheer long-sleeved top which she layered over a matching bralette.
She paired her top with some casual light blue low-cut flared jeans which she paired with black flip flops.
Adding a hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a large black Hermes bag.
To accessorise, the songstress wore a quirky mental ring and a pair of black tinted sunglasses.
Alongside her Instagram post, she penned: 'Brooklyn Bridge 9pm.'
Rita recently revealed how Beyoncé has always been her 'protector' as she discussed being hit by speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair'.
Beyoncé's smash hit 2016 album Lemonade featured poignant lyrics about cheating and she sang about the mysterious woman in her track Sorry.
Fans widely speculated it referred to alleged infidelity by Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z with a woman called 'Becky', and theories began circulating online about her identity.
Rita found herself at the centre of the rumours as she was wrongly accused of having an affair with Jay-Z, with the singer forced to hit back and deny the claims.
Now, Rita - who was represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label at the time - revealed she was so upset by the claims because Beyoncé has always been her 'protector'.

Jessica Biel, 43, admits her 'peak shape' is 'not maintainable' without strict workouts
Jessica Biel admitted that even she has trouble maintaining her fit 5ft7in figure while demonstrating the lower body workout crafted by her fitness trainers Ashley Brown and Ben Bruno. The 43-year-old Emmy nominee was responding to a fan who complimented how toned and taut her body looked while wearing the $1,190 white Proenza Schouler 'Selena Twist Back Crepe' dress in her new Prime Video series, The Better Sister. 'Everyone is the white dress and how do we stay strong as we get older. Specifically, as women, how do we keep our back strong?' Jessica - who boasts 19.3M social media followers - told TikTok last Thursday. 'That peak shape in the show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness, which I cannot do. I'm currently back on my plan to get a little bit back towards that shape.' Biel proceeded to perform several sets of hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, hamstring curls, goblet step through lunges, cable med glute kickbacks, and kettlebell deadbugs in the gym. 'I'm tired. My body's not 20 years old anymore, you know? So I'm adjusting my workout to what I need to do,' the Fatal Destination producer-narrator admitted. 'You've got to build muscle. That's a key part of my particular routine. And a ton of flexibility. I hope it wasn't totally boring. Thanks for checking it out. Let's get older and stronger together!' And it's clearly paid off for Jessica, whose husband Justin Timberlake told her that her 'a** was poppin' in her new asymmetrical patterned dress and leather jacket. 'Look at you!' the 44-year-old pop star gushed on Instagram Sunday. 'Okay, uh-huh! With the jacket, hmm. Wow! Looks so good! It's super cute. You look so cute. I'm going to make you wear that around [our Montana home] just like when we go to get gas and stuff. So cute! No, your a** is poppin.' Biel reposted Justin's video and wrote: 'It's always a good night when your husband says your a** is poppin'.' On July 31, the married couple of 12 years will celebrate the fifth birthday of their son Phineas, and they're also proud parents of 10-year-old son Silas. Timberlake and the Tennessee-born brunette originally met in 2007 while snowboarding with a group of friends in Park City, UT. Before Jessica - the 10-time Grammy winner reportedly romanced the likes of Fergie, Britney Spears, Jenna Dewan, Alyssa Milano, Emma Bunton, Tatyana Ali, Cameron Diaz, and Lindsay Lohan. Before Justin - Biel was said to have previously dated her 7th Heaven co-star Adam LaVorgna, her Cellular/London co-star Chris Evans, and retired New York Yankee Derek Jeter. Timberlake is next scheduled to bring his $205.2M-grossing, 121-date The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Romania's Bonțida Bánffy Castle in Bonțida this Thursday. Biel confessed: 'That peak shape in the show is not maintainable unless you are living the strictest, most rigid lifestyle with your nutrition and fitness, which I cannot do. I'm currently back on my plan to get a little bit back towards that shape' The Fatal Destination producer-narrator proceeded to perform several sets of hip thrusts, Romanian deadlifts, hamstring curls, goblet step through lunges, cable med glute kickbacks, and kettlebell deadbugs in the gym The 44-year-old pop star gushed on Instagram Sunday: 'Look at you! Okay, uh-huh! With the jacket, hmm. Wow! Looks so good! It's super cute. You look so cute. I'm going to make you wear that around [our Montana home] just like when we go to get gas and stuff. So cute!' On September 13, the No Angels singer pled guilty to driving while impaired, paid $760 in fines, agreed to do 25 hours of community service at a non-profit of his choice, and had his New York license suspended for 90 days. Justin - who refused to take a breathlyzer test - successfully avoided a criminal DWI charge and infractions for running a stop sign and failure to keep in his lane stemming from his June 18, 2024 arrest in Sag Harbor, NY. Meanwhile, the Golden Globe nominee's upcoming acting projects include Apple TV+ adventure comedy Matchbox alongside John Cena and Kyle Marvin's Yosemite mountain climbing drama Batso alongside Ethan Hawke.

The opening night action begins with the Chicago Blackhawks visiting the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers at 5 pm ET. This is followed by the Penguins and Rangers clashing at Madison Square Garden at 8 pm ET, and the evening concludes with the Los Angeles Kings hosting the Colorado Avalanche at 10:30 pm ET.

Chelsea's Club World Cup win ‘not an upset'
Levi Colwill insists Chelsea's Club World Cup win was no fluke and the Premier League and Champions League are now in their sights. The Blues defied the odds to overpower a Paris St Germain side who were overwhelming favourites in Sunday's final in New York. Cole Palmer was the star of the show in front of a crowd of 81,118 at MetLife Stadium, scoring two fine goals and creating the other for Joao Pedro in a shock 3-0 win. THE TROPHY IS OURS!!! 🔵 — Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) July 13, 2025 Defender Colwill said: 'Everyone was rooting for PSG or saying they were going to beat us but it's not an upset because we know how good we are. If other people don't believe that then hopefully we have changed their minds now. 'This performance was amazing and we should get the credit we deserve. 'It was a statement victory and in the future, if we keep winning trophies then everyone will give us the love that we deserve.' PSG had stormed into the final by thrashing Real Madrid 4-0 four days previously. Having already won four trophies in 2024-25, including the Champions League and a French league and cup double, their determination to complete a historic quintuple seemed clear. Colwill is convinced the confidence Chelsea will gain from beating such an outstanding side will see them emerge as strong contenders next season. The 22-year-old said: 'I said at the start of this tournament that our plan was to win it and people looked at me as if I was crazy! 'So I'm going to say the exact same thing now going into the Premier League and Champions League. I think we're ready and we'll see next season.' The Club World Cup tournament, the first to be played in an expanded 32-team format, has had its detractors for a range of reasons but Colwill has no doubt the concept is here to stay. 'In the future, I think this will be the biggest trophy of all,' he said. 'It will be bigger than the Champions League and we were the first team to win it. 'I've really enjoyed it, playing games every four or five days, playing to sold-out stadiums, playing against different teams who you would never normally get a chance to play. 'I might be saying that just because we're winners now but I really have enjoyed it and it's been good. 'This is the biggest tournament I've ever won. Going into the game I was a bit nervous, thinking it was the biggest game I've ever played, but in years to come I will look back and think what a day it's been.'
