Showing off their street style! Rita Ora and Victoria Justice pose on the sidewalk as the arrive for DKNY fashion show in New York
British singer Rita Ora wore a zebra-print fur coat over a black and red plaid dress while American actress Victoria Justice looked elegant in monochrome black and white as they lent their support for designer Donna Karan at her fashion show on Sunday.
Making their exit from the DKNY Fashion show, both stars ignored the frigid temperatures and looked as poised as professional models.
Ora made her exit flashing her bright eyes and a big, red-lipstick smile – although she admitted via Twitter that she was ‘worn out’ after helping with the show.

Lovely Rita! The blonde British singer happily stopped to take photos with fans after the show
While the blonde Torn Apart singer held her furry coat tight round her while chatting with fans after the show, Victoria threw caution to the wind and posed in a belly-baring black crop top and light-weight black trousers that featured a thick white strip down the side.
Although Nickleodeon star Victoria lives in sunny California, she’s been spending time in New York while filming her movie, Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List and judging by her lack of warm clothes, seems to be acclimated to the Eastern climate.
Both fashionable stars are brand ambassadors for DKNY and helped before and during the show.

After calling it a day, 23-year-old Rita took to Twitter to post a status about the event.
‘DKNY worn me out,’ wrote the singer, who is dating Calvin Harris. ‘Straight to bed. I can’t move. #amazingshow.
DKNY was singled out for praise by journalists and bloggers for casting ‘real women’ alongside professional models to model the fall line.
The ‘real people’ included a number of students, a biologist and a professional skateboarder.

Although cast from the streets of New York City, the runway walkers received plenty of coaching before going on to model the clothes in front of the fashion elite.
Donna Karan said her new line was inspired partly by the fashion-forward Ora.
‘When I saw her in the first DKNY campaign, I said, that’s DKNY, you know?’ Karan said backstage. ‘I think she inspired everything that you see today — that uniqueness, the energy.’
The collection marked DKNY’s 25th anniversary.
