Rita Ora celebrates Taika Waititi’s 46th birthday with Kristen Stewart

Rita Ora helped new boyfriend Taika Waititi celebrate his 46th birthday with celebrity friends Rami Malek and Kristen Stewart.

The singer, 30, wore a sheer black dress to the bash attended by a host of stars including Paris Jackson, Ashley Benson and Kate Beckinsale.

Ms Ora has been jet-setting around the world since her birthday in November 2020 - when she broke lockdown rules to celebrate at a venue in Notting Hill.

Earlier this year she was based in Australia, where she met Waititi, filming The Voice and has recently been spending time in Los Angeles. The singer also posted pictures of a trip to Paris to her Instagram earlier this week.

Ms Ora and Mr Waititi confirmed their relationship on the red carpet premiere of Suicide Squad earlier this month.

Mr Waititi, a film director and actor from New Zealand, stars in the comic book blockbuster.

Ms Ora is set to star in the 2022 Pirelli Calendar, shot by Canadian singer Bryan Adams.

She will be joined by Iggy Pop, Cher and Grimes.

The latest installment of the famous calendar will focus on musicians, portraying what life is like behind the scenes for the world’s biggest stars.

US singers Normani, St Vincent, Kali Uchis and Jennifer Hudson, Chinese-born rapper Bohan Phoenix and US rapper Saweetie also feature in next year’s edition.

Adams said: “On the road is where I have been for the last 45 years, because the life of a musician is made up of roads, travel, waiting in hotels, hours back stage.”

Over the years the Pirelli Calendar has featured stars including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Heidi Klum.

The last edition of the calendar, which was unveiled in 2019 because of the pandemic, featured actresses Claire Foy and Emma Watson.

Adams, 61, is best known for releasing a string of hits in the 1980s including Heaven and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
