Rita Ora was unable to make the X Factor launch on Wednesday due to her own touring commitments – but she made sure her fans were given a night to remember.

The stunning star certainly made an impression as she took to the stage at the El Rey in Los Angeles wearing a VERY racy outfit.

Rita, 24, had just a sheer purple top and two star pasties covering her nipples, showing off most of her boobs as she played through her biggest hits.

She added to the futuristic look with a tiny silver skirt, before flashing her knickers – that appear to be black leather, with a zip down the middle…

Although she thoroughly enjoyed the show, Rita was thinking of her fellow X Factor judges, and tweeting new panelist Nick Grimshaw to apologise for not being there.

She wrote: “@nicholasgrimshaw sorry I can’t be there! Enjoy the first screening of the first episode! Saturday!! It’s so close! #XfaxtorUK (sic)”

The Poison singer recently confirmed she would perform on the new series of the talent show – although whether she brings this outfit remains to be seen.

She said: “Even if I have to run up on that stage myself – I’d love to perform.

“I hope I get to do the duets with the contestant in the final. I’m looking forward to that so fingers crossed!”

We’re sure Simon will happily vet her outfit.
