The form-fitting design served to accentuate her nicely proportioned figure, while an off-the-shoulder detail exposed a hint of flesh as she climbed into the rear of her waiting car.

Rita, who is poised to appear in new film Fifty Shades Darker, previously hinted that a possible collaboration with pal Bieber could be on the cards after the pair duetted to All My Life by K-Ci and JoJo on Monday night.

In the clip, shared on Rita's account, the Canadian hitmaker could be seen twinkling the ivories with aplomb to the famed 1997 R&B hit.

Complementing Justin's aptitude on the piano, ANTM host Rita - who has been in Los Angeles recording new music - put her own spin on the Grammy nominated song, singing: 'And I know that you feel the same way too' in her soft dulcet tones. 

The late night clip had Justin giving the former X Factor judge some guidance as she put her spin on the classic, simply saying: 'Turn it around'.

Happy with their effort, the pair began to playfully sing 'hey' as Rita wowed in the possible collaboration teasing video as Justin appeared relaxed in his muted toned ensemble.

MailOnline have contacted Rita Ora and Justin Bieber's reps for comment. 

Rita has previously confessed to harbouring a crush for the global superstar.

In 2014, during an appearance on 4Music, the Fifty Shades star said, when asked if she fancied the Baby hitmaker: 'Who doesn't?

'I like how he's evolved, he's growing up, he's doing his thing. I like his stance and how he carries himself.'

This came after they were romantically linked following her split from Scottish DJ Calvin Harris. 

At the time of Rita and Calvin's break-up nearly four years ago, Justin was cited as one of the reasons for their romance coming to an end.

A source told TMZ at the time: 'Word got back to Calvin, Justin and Rita got touchy feely with each other while they were in the recording studio together over the last few months.

'Calvin heard they were very affectionate - she would sit on his lap [and] he would rub her back.'

Their all-singing appearance comes after they were last seen together in June, enjoying a night out on the tiles at celeb hotspot Warwick.

The pals were spotted emerging from the club in the small hours, they seemed to be trying to hide the fact they were together, the usually bold stars suddenly coming over all shy. 

Since then, Rita came to the What Do You Mean singer's defense after he 'punched' a fan in Barcelona in November.

The Body On Me songstress said she can empathise with the pop star who struck out at 18-year-old fan Kevin Ramirez and left him with a bloodied lip after he reached through the window of Justin's moving car to touch his face.

'I'm not speaking for anybody, but knowing him and his incredible background, I know how it feels to be uncomfortable and scared,' Rita mused.

'I feel like anyone who had a hand in their face is going to protect themselves,' she added, insisting that the 22-year-old's reaction to the excitable fan was natural, and purely a way of defending himself from an apparent threat.

She said she has found herself in similar situations in the past and admitted it was a 'scary' experience.

Talking to Metro, Rita said: 'There are definitely moments where [fans] cross over the boundary of it becoming almost scary.'
