Rita Ora: Ora rocked in a custom Prada gown and a showstopping headpiece. "I created the custom headpiece by lacquering 5 coats of paint on silk roses to create the intense, black matte look," her hairstylist, Brent Lawler for Dove, said. "Each has about 50 mini Swarovski crystals for a gorgeous light catching effect. It's secured with bobby pins and all together it weighs 3.5 pounds!"
