Before kicking off the fun, Ora put on a leggy display in a lilac satin minidress paired with velvet blush pink heels and a dramatic fur coat. She changed out of the '70s-like ensemble and into a low-key all-black outfit as she headed backstage where more glam outfits awaited.
During the program, the British talent bundled up in a variety of wintry looks. One included a classic beige coat layered with heeled boots and a black turtleneck, and another was cream in color but made chic with a cable knit scarf. At one point during the show, Ora rocked a leopard-print coat with gold earrings and buckled boots, as well as an all-leather outfit.
Her glam stayed consistent with a slick-backed updo and bold red lip.
On Instagram, Ora showed what went into prepping for this year's eight-hour show, which made it the longest in NYRE history. "Currently in prep mode which is hectic with little sleep (except in the car between press haha), but I love every minute of it. I can’t wait for the buzzy energy of the countdown at 11:59… it’s unlike anything else!"

Before the show kicked off in Times Square, Ora and Seacrest chatted with PEOPLE about the fun camaraderie they've developed as colleagues. "We have the same sense of humor," she said. "I'm so happy to be working on this."
"We really have a good time together," added Seacrest.
Last year, Ora challenged the Big Apple's frigid weather with outfits that were daring and most definitely skin-baring. Among her eight changes was a sheer lace look that showed off her underwear.
Fans can expect to see more of Ora in the new year as she returns as judge for season 14 ofThe Masked Singer. "I love working," Ora told PEOPLE. "Get ready, America, because I'm your favorite Brit!"
