Rita Ora is ending 2025 wearing one of the year’s biggest footwear trends — chocolate brown leather. The singer arrived at Times Square in New York City for the “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” rehearsals on Monday in a monochrome ensemble featuring various shades of brown.

Ora stepped out in a pair of eye-grabbing boots, opting for Coperni‘s Bridge Boot in the dark brown shade. The boots featured a knee-high design in brown calf leather. The structural silhouette of the Bridge Boot has a subtle triangular line of design that flatters the leg.
The boot takes its name from its unique arched sole, which features a bridge-like outline. The arch leads into a slanted block heel measuring around three inches. The boots are designed with a minimal, square-shaped toe, and the boot’s ultra slouchy shaft starts midfoot at the vamp.

The shaft then goes up, leading up to right below the knee. The boots are currently available on the Coperni website in black for $829, and the lighter brown shade is on sale for $412. Chocolate and dark brown boots have been trending this year, especially for winter boots, often found in pointed-toe and ankle boot designs.
Ora paired the Coperni boots with a long, brown Tod’s Overcoat in Shearling, which retails for $18,345. The coat is characterized by its three strap fastenings in leather. The overcoat in shearling features a round neck and a wraparound line for added comfort. She wore a matching set underneath in a tan shade.
