Rita Ora went commando at the Billboard Music Awards, leaving the underwear at home to wear a revealing Fausto Puglisi gown.

Rita Ora Doesn’t Wear Underwear To The BBMAs

Ora walked down the red carpet Sunday, May 17, in a Fausto Puglisi original paired with white stiletto heels and not much else. The stunning white gown was less of a gown and more of a cover-up, featuring large cut outs on the sides and belly in addition to two hip-high slits on the sides. What the dress did cover, it covered quite delicately – with a deep v-neck and long, floor length pieces of fabric that could barely qualify as a skirt covering her front and back. The dress left little to the imagination, and while viewers everywhere wondered how the 24-year-old was confident enough to strut her stuff in front of millions of viewers, many more wanted to know if she was wearing underwear underneath. The answer: no.

“I just thought I’d go a little bit naked,” Ora told E!’s Giuliana Rancic on the red carpet.

Rancic, who pointed out the breezy Las Vegas weather, seemed nervous just standing next to Rita, and asked what the “undergarment situation” is with a dress like this.

“There isn’t any, really,” Ora said, laughing, “I didn’t really think that far ahead, so I’m just gonna have to pray to the Lord that we’re gonna be okay.”

Ora laughed off Rancic’s concerns, simply putting her palms down on the front of her dress to secure it to her body when a breeze hit.

“It’s amazing, you know, you need to take risks. And me being the crazy fashion lover, I wanted to do something …” Ora began before another gust of wind struck.

Rancic, once again, had a moment of panic and reached down to help Ora keep herself covered, but Ora just smiled. “I like it, I like taking a few risks once in a while,” added the singer.

In fact, Ora did manage to keep herself covered (for the most part) throughout the night, even when she had to walk down stairs to present an award with 50 Cent.
