Rita Ora is no stranger to a bold beauty moment - and her latest performance look might just be one of her most striking yet. While lighting up the stage at the World Club Dome Festival in Germany, the singer brought a heavy dose of 90s nostalgia to her glam, reminding us all why blue eyeshadow deserves a spot back in our beauty bags.
Taking to Instagram to share behind-the-scenes snaps, Rita showcased a shimmering powder-blue eyeshadow look that was anything but subtle. Swept generously across her lids and up toward the brows, the icy shade made her eyes pop under the stage lights.
But what really elevated the look was her decision to line the waterline in a matching sky-blue hue, tying the whole punchy look aesthetic together.

The Anywhere singer isn't the first British star to jump on this throwback makeup trend. At the start of the year, Victoria Beckham shared a detailed tutorial on Instagram of her go-to eye shadow look ahead of Valentines day.
In a surprising move, the look steered away from VB's usual brown smoky eye and instead, she opted for a blue hue. This playful glam was a nostalgic throwback to her time in the Grammy-winning band, the Spice Girls.

The tousled ringlets framed her face beautifully and gave the look a wild, untamed energy that paired perfectly with her bold performance.
And let’s not ignore the coordination. Rita wore a bright blue two-piece ensemble with lace and mesh detailing that mirrored the tones of her eyeshadow. The outfit’s ripped textures and cropped silhouette oozed 2000s pop princess.
With this beauty look, Rita Ora proves that the 90s blue eyeshadow trend is well and truly back - but with her own modern spin. Ready to dig out your old palette yet? Because we certainly are.
