Rita Ora coyly covers her breasts as she and husband Taika Waititi return to their hotel at 5am - after partying all night long at the Met Gala

She'd already stunned with her scantily-clad outfits at the annual Met Gala, flaunting her figure in a pair of daring gowns.

And Rita Ora proved that she was still the ultimate party girl as she and her husband Taika Waiti returned to The Mark Hotel after a wild all-nighter at the glitzy event.

With her ample cleavage on full display in the unforgiving sunlight, the singer attempted to preserve her modesty by covering her chest as she headed up to her room with the director.

Just hours earlier, the star stunned by going braless in a completely sheer nude gown with a perilously-placed beaded skirt.

Ever the supportive spouse, Taika, who was dressed in a pale blue suit, stood aside to ensure Rita had her moment in the spotlight. 

Earlier in the evening,  Rita left little to the imagination as she ditched her underwear as part of her eye-catching look on the Met Gala red carpet.

Leaving for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, the Body On Me hitmaker, put on a very daring display in a sheer nude bodysuit designed by MARNI.

Flaunting her incredibly toned physique, Rita went braless in the revealing garment, arriving at the event with her husband Taika, who was ever the gentleman as he helped sort her dress train on the red carpet.

Rita wanted to celebrate women's existence with her look, as she told Entertainment Tonight: 'Hi guys, I'm wearing a necklace this year at the Met. 

'This is about the beauty of the body and women's existence and presence. [It's about] not doing as much but also doing a lot, you see what I mean? And these beads are from actually second century BC.'

Rita noted that she just wanted to show that beauty can 'stand the test of time' as she noted that her husband was also wearing an outfit made by the luxury designer.

She said: 'This is all about beauty just standing the test of time! He's also wearing Marni'

Taika  was then asked what he made of his wife's look and hailed the ensemble as 'incredible'. He said: 'Incredible, I looked at all the details of every bead, thousands of years.'

But the only drawback for  Rita was that she had not thought about the practicalities of going to the bathroom as she admitted she didn't have a spare outfit to change into.

She added: 'No, I don't [have anything else], I also didn't think about the bathroom so I might just have to poke a hole in the stocking!'

The pair put on a very loved-up display as Taika was spotted cheekily pinching Rita's behind while posing for snaps.

They also shared a quick smooch before they made their way up the iconic staircase. 

Stars in attendance for the evening included Kim Kardashian, who sent shockwaves as she flaunted her astonishingly small waist in a silver custom Maison Margiela gown by John Galliano.

Her sister Kylie Jenner kept it simple and chic in a rose-water colored strapless gown by Oscar de la Renta, paired with a rose in her hair. 

Jennifer Lopez posed up a storm on the steps in a dazzling in a sparkling see-through bejeweled ensemble.

Fellow co-chair Zendaya made a statement in a blue and green custom Maison Margiela by John Galliano gown, featuring branch and fruit accents. 

Zendaya slipped on a second look for the Met Gala - a 1996 black Givenchy by John Galliano gown - with an 2007 Alexander McQueen floral hat. 

The Costume Institute's spring exhibition falls on the first Monday in May every year and is held at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This year the event was titled Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion while the dress code was The Garden of Time.

Jennifer Lopez, Zendaya, Bad Bunny and Chris Hemsworth were this year's co-chairs. Also on the committee is Vogue's Anna Wintour.

The honorary chairs for the evening were Loewe creative director Jonathan Anderson and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew.

'This year's co-chairs reflect a variety of career achievements, and all have distinct style histories with the Met Gala,' Vogue shared.

The showcase features approximately 250 items drawn from The Costume Institute's permanent collection — with many of the pieces too fragile to ever be worn again.

The pieces will all be displayed using elements such as AI, GCI, and more while playing up themes of land, sea and sky. 

'It is very much an ode to nature and the emotional poetics of fashion,' said Andrew Bolton, Wendy Yu Curator in Charge of The Costume Institute, of the upcoming exhibition. 

'One thing I hope this show will activate is that sensorial appreciation of fashion.'

Stars in attendance on the night included Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Cardi B and Emily Ratajkowski.

Gwendoline Christie, La La Anthony and Ashley Graham hosted while YouTuber Emma Chamberlain was on hand to interview stars on the red carpet.
