Rita Ora shows off her incredible figure in racy white bra and tiny shorts with tassel belt while performing as she supports Kylie Minogue on tour
The Poison singer, 34, showcased her jaw-dropping figure in the laced co-ord which was accessorised with thick belt featuring mesh tassels.
The British songstress completed the show-stopping ensemble with glamorous white high heel boots and accessorised with a chain choker ensemble.
Rita put on a vibrant performance while performing as the Aussie music legend's supporting act at the Pacific Coliseum.
Earlier on Monday, Rita debuted a dark wig with a fringe as she posed up a storm on one of her 'off days' from supporting Kylie on the US leg of her world tour.
The star - who usually sports curly, honey tresses - showed off her figure in the snaps as she wore skimpy green neon shorts and a white T-shirt.
Presumably taken in her hotel room in Arizona, she snapped a series of mirror selfies and uploaded them.
Rita completed her look with black leather ballet pumps and fixed the camera with a sultry stare.
Her post comes after she shared behind the scenes snaps on Instagram last Wednesday while supporting Kylie tour in Miami.
She flaunted her incredible figure in the daring skintight lace and satin costume which she paired with towering knee high white boots.
Rita left her long blonde tresses loose and draped a coordinated crocheted veil over her head as she crouched down backstage while posing for photos.
The Poison songstress later pulled on a red Miami Heat basketball shirt ahead of taking to the stage in the East coast.
The former Masked Singer judge performed a number of her hits at the Kaseya Center as she joined Kylie on her Tension Tour.
Rita will be joining The Loco-Motion hitmaker for the majority of the US leg of her tour as a special guest.
Rita was joined on stage by her dancers and in a fitting surprise for the crowd she performed her unreleased new single HEAT.
Delivering a stunning performance, the high energy set also included some of her biggest hits such as Your Song.
Teasing the new single on stage Rita said: 'I'm just gonna play you my new single because its called Heat and it just makes sense being here in Miami. It's coming out pretty soon.'
Rita is supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension, Padam Padam, was nearly given to her.
The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie.
But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song.

When an unsung Indian helped Austrian Jews escape the Nazis
"Let me tell you a secret. Your nana (grandfather) helped Jewish families escape the Nazis."That single sentence from his mother set Vinay Gupta off on a journey into his grandfather's past. What he unearthed was a tale more gripping than fiction: a little-known act of heroism by an Indian businessman who risked everything to save strangers in Europe's darkest wasn't just compassion; it was logistics, risk, and resolve. Back in India, Kundanlal set up a businesses to employ Jews, built homes to house them - only to watch the British declare them as "enemy aliens" and detain them once Word War Two broke life reads like an epic: a poor boy from Ludhiana, married at 13, who sold everything from timber and salt to lab gear and bullock-cart wheels. He also ran a clothing business and a matchstick factory. He topped his class in Lahore - joining the colonial civil service at 22, only to resign from it all to participate in the freedom movement and a life of building shook hands with Indian independence leader and later its first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and crossed paths with actress Devika Rani on a steamer to A Rescue In Vienna, a family memoir, Gupta uncovers his grandfather's extraordinary Indian rescue on foreign soil - pieced together through family letters, survivor interviews, and historical the shadow of Hitler's 1938 annexation of Austria, Kundanlal, a machine tool manufacturer from Ludhiana city in the northern state of Punjab, quietly offered Jewish professionals jobs in India to get them life-saving visas. He offered work, provided livelihood and build homes for those families in India. Kundanlal rescued five Weiss, a 30-year-old Jewish lawyer, was hiding in a hospital, feigning illness. Kundanlal was also in the same hospital to get treatment for an illness. After Nazis forced Weiss to clean the streets outside his own home, Kundanlal handed him a lifeline: a job offer at the fictitious "Kundan Agencies." It got him a visa to Wachsler, a master woodworker, met Kundanlal while bringing his pregnant wife for tests. Promised a future in furniture and a sponsor for emigration, his family became one of the Jewish households to reach India between January 1938 and February 1939. Hans Losch, a textile technician, answered Kundanlal's advert in an Austrian paper for skilled workers. Offered a managerial role at the imaginary "Kundan Cloth Mills" in Ludhiana - with housing, profit share, and safe passage - he seized the chance to start Schafranek, once owner of a 50-employee plywood factory, pitched his skills to Kundanlal and was offered a role in building India's most modern plywood unit. His entire family, including his mechanic brother Siegfried, was Siegmund Retter, a machine tools businessman, was among the first Kundanlal approached. As his business collapsed under Nazi rule, Kundanlal began arranging his move to India to start again. It all began with a hospital bed in Vienna. Struggling with diabetes and hemorrhoids, Kundanlal, then 45, sought new treatments and read about a specialist in Vienna. In 1938, while recovering from surgery there, he met Lucy and Alfred Wachsler, a young couple expecting their first child. From them, he learned of rising antisemitic violence and the destruction of Jewish lives. Over the next few months, he met other men. Encouraged by this success, Kundanlal placed newspaper adverts seeking skilled workers willing to relocate to India. Among the respondents were Wachsler, Losch, Schafranek and Retter. Kundanlal offered each a job, financial guarantees, and support to secure Indian visas."A striking aspect of all of Kundanlal's elaborate scheming on behalf of these families was how close mouthed he remained, keeping up appearances of technology transfer to India until the very end," Gupta writes. "He did not share his intent or plans with any Indian or British officials. His family learned of his plans only when he returned home months later." In October 1938, Losch became the first of Kundanlal's recruits to arrive in Ludhiana. He was welcomed into Kundanlal's home - but found little comfort in the quiet town, writes Gupta. With no Jewish community, no cultural life, and a struggling cloth mill, Losch left within weeks for Bombay (now Mumbai), citing poor working conditions and little chance of profit. He never lasted even less - just under two months. The company created for him, Kundan Agencies, never took off. He soon moved to Bombay, found work in flooring, and by 1947 had relocated to England. Despite their departures, Kundanlal bore no resentment, writes Gupta."My aunt told me that on the contrary, Kundanlal had been embarrassed that he could not provide a lifestyle and social environment more suited to Vienna, and felt that if he had, the two men may have stayed on in Ludhiana." Not all stories ended this and Lucy Wachsler, with their infant son, arrived by sea, rail, and road - finally stepping off the train at Ludhiana. They moved into a spacious home Kundanlal built for them next door to another, prepared for the Schafraneks. Alfred quickly set up a furniture workshop, using Burmese teak and local Sikh labour to craft elegant dining sets - one of which still survives in the author's March 1939, Alfred Schafranek, his brother Siegfried, and their families arrived from Austria. They launched one of India's earliest plywood factories in a shed behind the two homes. Driven and exacting, Alfred pushed untrained workers hard, determined to build something lasting. Gupta writes, the work was intense, the Punjab heat unfamiliar, and the isolation palpable - especially for the women, confined mostly to domestic the months passed in Ludhiana, the initial relief gave way to boredom. The men worked long hours, while the women, limited by language and isolation, kept to household routines. In September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland. Days later, Britain declared war on Germany - the British parliament pulled India into the conflict. Over 2.5 million Indians would serve in the war, 87,000 never Ludhiana, the reality of war hit fast. By 1940, new policies ordered all German nationals - Jewish or not - into internment camps. The Wachsler and Schafranek families were forcibly relocated to the Purandhar Internment Camp near Poona (now Pune), housed in bare barracks with kerosene lamps and minimal comforts. They had committed no crime - only carried the wrong release became possible - if they could find paid work. Alfred and Siegfried Schafranek secured roles managing a new plywood business in Bangalore and moved there with their families, starting all over again. The Wachsler family left the camp in 1942 after Alfred found a job in Karachi. The two families never met Camp closed in 1946, nearly a year after the war ended. In 1948, Alfred Wachsler's cousin sponsored US refugee visas for the family. That October, they flew out of Karachi, never to return to India. The Schafraneks relocated to Australia in 1947 after a successful plywood venture in researching the book, Gupta met Alex Wachsler - whose father, Alfred, had also built the Burmese teak desk Kundanlal once used in his tiny 120 sq ft office. (Alfred died in 1973.)"Despite living in US since the age of 10, and now into his eighties, Alex Wachsler still pines for his life in India, eats at Indian restaurants, delights in meeting Indians and surprises them with his knowledge of Urdu," writes in Ludhiana, Kundanlal opened a school for his daughters at home, soon expanding it into one of Punjab's oldest schools - still running today with 900 students. His wife, Saraswati, grew increasingly withdrawn and battled and Saraswati had five children, including four daughters. In 1965, Saraswati died after a tragic fall from their terrace. She spent her final years in silence, emotionally distanced from the family. Kundanlal passed away a year later, aged 73, from a heart attack. "The notion of a 'passive bystander' was anathema to Kundanlal. If he saw something, or someone, that required attention, he attended to it, never intimidated by the enormity of the problem," writes Gupta.A fitting epitaph for a man whose legacy was not just business, but quiet defiance, compassion, and conviction.

Lady Glenconner's Picnic Papers - Butlers and avocado soup: how the posh picnic
Lady Glenconner's Picnic Papers by Anne Glenconner (Bedford Square £10.99, 304pp) You might expect a picnic with a princess to be a glittering affair where you wash down caviar sandwiches with glass after glass of champagne, all in the shade of some great palace. However, if your royal hostess was Princess Margaret, you were more likely to find yourself wincing as you politely tried to swallow her picnic favourite: avocado soup. Lady Glenconner, former lady in waiting to the princess and self-described 'dedicated picnicker', has compiled this delightful book celebrating the very British obsession with picnicking. The contributors, all friends stretching from royalty to TV stars, each share a picnic tale, and the occasional recipe to add to Lady Glenconner's hamper. Lady Glenconner's life, as revealed in her fabulous memoir Lady In Waiting, has been stuffed with enough glamour, grandeur and tragedy to rival even the most dramatic episode of Downton Abbey. It is, therefore, hardly surprising that she has collected such an extraordinary list of friends in her 92 years. Most of the picnicdotes are a far cry from the rest of us eating pork pies and drinking warm prosecco in one's local park. Colin Tennant, husband of Lady Glenconner, also shared his wife's fanaticism for al fresco dining. Once at Glen (their Scottish country estate) he arranged a picnic at the loch for his eccentric uncle, Stephan Tennant, who thought the colour of heather vulgar. The only solution for such a problem was, of course, to organise hundreds of blue paper flowers to be stuck on the hill to mask the offending purple. 'So much better, darling boy' was the thanks from his uncle. Princess Margaret wouldn't picnic without her butler and, even then, thought that a proper picnic should be eaten indoors while seated at a chair. I would have thought this was called 'eating a meal' but who am I to question her royal highness? Peculiar tastes are rife in the upper echelons and Lady Glenconner shows that the greatest way to understand the eccentricities of the upper class is by glimpsing into their hampers. A staple feature of picnics provided by Princess Margaret's friend Angela Huth? Strawberry and chicken soup. No thanks! However, it's not just titled folk who share their picnic secrets with us. Graham Norton reveals that he too remembers picnics as an indoors affair, albeit sat in a car in Ireland rather than the Banqueting House of Hampton Court. His father would say all that was needed was a patch of blue sky 'big enough for a pair of sailor's trousers' and if you could see at least one tree, your meal would be transformed into a picnic. There are tips on picnicking while airborne, what to do when eating with a maharajah and how to wash up your dishes (all good picnics are served on china plates) if you find yourself stuck in the Sahara. From Hampton Court to the Himalayas and from Mick Jagger to Winston Churchill, this book is a movable feast of delightful anecdotes. If you want to discover what the great and the good are like at their most relaxed, then look no further than the Picnic Papers. Essential for every picnic hamper this summer.

Fans rejoice as beloved Friends actor, 32, makes a surprising comeback
He once starred in one of the most iconic sitcoms of all time but Cole Sprouse, 32, has come a long way from his days on the Friends set. The former child star, who portrayed Ross Geller's son Ben in seven episodes of the beloved series, is now best known for his lead role in Netflix 's Riverdale. But it's another project that has fans rejoicing once again this week. Sprouse's side hustle is running a chaotic, cult-favorite Instagram account called @camera_duels, where he posts candid snaps of fans who try to secretly photograph him in public by snapping a photo of them back. The account became a viral sensation a couple of years ago but in June 2023 Sprouse stopped posting to it. 'It started because I was pissed off,' Cole previously told Wonderland magazine. 'I try to approach a lot of the strange trappings of celebrity and the culture with comedy… the actions and feelings and vibes that people put off when they're about to do something like that is so obvious and comical that it begs a duel.' The account was originally meant to shame people who tried to sneak photos without asking. But it has ironically turned into a bucket list item for fans with many admitting they now try to stage a stealth photo just to be featured. 'That was an oversight on my behalf,' Cole admitted. 'I should have seen that coming!' Now Sprouse is back posting to his Instagram. Last week he shared a rambling yet poetic takedown of a father in a Speedo snapping a photo of him at the beach. The caption included everything from commentary on the surveillance state to the unfortunate visibility of 'a 50+ shivering meatus' behind thin swimwear. Fans couldn't get enough and the post left followers fangirling over him. His account now boasts over 4.6million followers, with each post bombarded with fan messages. Sprouse played Ben for just seven episodes between 2000 and 2002 but suddenly disappeared from Friends without explanation. The real reason was because his character was written out as the show to focus more on Ross' relationship with Rachel and later, their daughter Emma. Still, despite his brief time on the show, the Friends fans have not let go. Fans have speculated that Ross may have lost custody of Ben off-screen, due to his increasingly erratic behavior. Sprouse himself has even joked about the theory, agreeing that Ross 'wasn't the most present father' during a previous GQ interview. In 2015, a Reddit user named D.F. Lovett hypothesized that Cole's character still existed but that Ross lost custody of him. 'Friends was on for ten seasons, but Ben doesn't show up in person after episode 12 of season eight,' the Reddit user posted. The post continued: 'He's only mentioned six times in the remaining 54 episodes after his last appearance. 'People like to give Ross the benefit of the doubt, wondering if perhaps he was a better father off-screen. Perhaps his children met but the audience never saw. 'The more likely answer is that he was such a deadbeat father that he completely faded away from his son's life, pretending to his family and so-called friends that he still saw a boy he barely knew.' Sprouse has also previously shared details of his time on set and admitted he had a major crush on Jennifer Aniston while filming Friends at just eight years old. 'I had a really, really hard time working with Aniston because I was so in love with her', he confessed to the New York Post. 'I was infatuated. I was speechless. I'd get all bubbly and forget my lines and go completely blank. It was difficult.' The role on Friends was Cole's first acting job where he starred without his twin brother, Dylan, because the sitcom didn't require both twins. Sprouse went on to star on Disney's The Suite Life of Zach and Cody with his brother before landing a role as Jughead in Riverdale after graduating from college. Sprouse said fans still regularly recognize him as Ben from Friends. 'Because Friends is on Netflix, there's renewed interest,' he explained in an interview with Marie Claire in 2022. 'People can call me 'Ben' on the street and I will turn around.'
