Rita Ora commands attention in a sheer mesh costume at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games before mingling with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle backstage


Rita Ora flaunted her very toned physique as she took to the stage in Germany during the Invictus Games closing ceremony on Saturday.

The Praising You hitmaker, 32, looked incredible in a figure-hugging bodysuit that clung to her curves before she slipped into a glamorous gown as she joined Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle, 42, backstage. 

The Invictus Games help wounded and sick service personnel and veterans from different countries recover through competitive adaptive sports.

Inspired by his visit to the US Warrior Games in 2013, Prince Harry founded the Games as a similar sporting event for injured service personnel.

Rita appeared alongside Sam Ryder and performed six of her hit songs.

 The singer put on a very energetic performance as she showcased her impressive vocals and ran about the stage entertaining the crowd. 

Rita wore some sheer criss-cross tights that showcased her slender pins and added a matching long sleeve jacket over the top.

She completed the bold look with a pair of chunky boots that featured silver studs over the top. 

Later, the songstress wore a dramatic floor length gown with floral embroidered as she joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for a photo. 

Talking ahead of the show Rita said: ‘I am incredibly proud to be part of the Closing Ceremony of the Invictus Games in Düsseldorf.

‘I am so excited to perform in front of this unique audience. The Invictus Games are a very special sporting event, and the competitors are an inspiration of perseverance and willpower for all of us.’

The performance comes after she celebrated her new fashion line with Primark.

The singer had a special bash on Friday night in London where the likes of Lottie Moss turned up.

Launching on Tuesday 19th September, Rita said of the collection: ‘Throughout my life, I have always wanted to look stylish, and when I was younger, I couldn’t have done that without Primark.

‘I could always stretch my budget with so many great pieces from Primark. Honestly, that is really when I learned how to get creative and play with fashion.

‘Creating this collection with Primark has been very nostalgic for me, and I can’t wait for the world to see it!’

Elsewhere during the ceremony Prince Harry became emotional during his moving speech at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, Germany, earlier this evening.

His five-minute speech saluted those who have taken part in the week-long games, which were founded in 2014 for veterans to represent their county and compete in.

Meghan stood alongside her husband in a glowing green dress. During the ceremony she couldn’t hide her pride as she beamed at Team USA when they took their place for the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games.

She looked on adoringly as the team walked on stage to Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA. Meghan clapped along to the song as it reverberated around the Merkur Spiel-Arena and blew kisses to the team.

Prince Harry also joined the applause front his front row seat – and took to the stage to thank people for coming.
