Rita Ora Contrasts Rope and Buckles in Zimmermann’s Orla Sandal at the Label’s Resort 2026 Celebration at Chateau Marmont

Rita Ora led with rope ties and leather buckles at Chateau Marmont on Friday evening, wearing Zimmermann’s Orla Buckle Sandal 85 with a coordinated resort 2026 set for the label’s collection celebration.

The sandal, which retails for $975, is set with four straps that buckle across the foot and ankle. The smooth calf leather sandal has a rounded toe, and the 85mm cone heel forms a distinct angled line. Ora opted for the Moss iteration, a muted brown with a soft green undertone.

Zimmermann introduced the Orla Buckle Sandal as part of its Twisted Romance lineup, first shown in Mykonos. Rope work, drawstring volume and hardware-driven accessories run through the collection, reflecting the brand’s ongoing footwear development between its Sydney and Paris ateliers.

Ora paired the sandal with a two-piece white set, also from Zimmermann’s resort 2026 collection, that featured rope ties at the neck and waist. The top used knotted halter straps and wide gathered panels through the sleeves and bodice. A matching skirt continued the construction with cinched pleating and rope that crossed the torso before looping through the upper skirt seam.

Ora may have buckled into cone heels on Friday, but her fall has leaned on slightly more traditional silhouettes after a notably experimental summer run. In late September, she reached for Gianvito Rossi kitten heels while promoting “All Natural,” pairing the pointed profile with sheer socks and a trenchcoat. A week later in Paris, she wore Giuseppe Zanotti’s Sylvy platforms at the Balenciaga Dinner — a patent style with a covered block heel and rounded platform. Earlier this month in London, she shifted to satin with Russell & Bromley’s Hillcliffe slingbacks for the Music Industry Trust Awards.

Ora wasn’t the only star at the Cruise 26 celebration, which also drew Zoey Deutch, Jurnee Smollett, Emma Roberts and Dakota Fanning.
