'I'm not gonna sleep': Rita Ora keeps a low profile in chic hat and leather jacket on her way to the airport in NYC as she reveals the sacrifices she's made for her career

She's had her biggest and busiest year yet, juggling music, movies roles and a spot on the X Factor.

And Rita Ora's jam-packed schedule shows no sign of emptying out anytime soon, with the Brit singer spotted heading to the airport in New York on Monday for an early flight to Los Angeles.

The star had been busy performing in the Hamptons for a Labor Day weekend gig, but as her US promo tour continues it was back on the road for the Body On Me singer.

The 24-year-old singer was in an uncharacteristic low-key ensemble for her cross-country flight.

Rita teamed a pair of ripped skinny jeans with a printed t-shirt and black leather jacket as she emerged from her city hotel.

A chic hat and sunglasses hid any sign of tiredness as the star jumped in her car to head to the airport, after her busy weekend.

Writing on Instagram on Sunday, Rita gushed about another successful US gig and her plans for the coming week, telling her fans: 'Thank you Hampton's it was fun. Happy Labour weekend everybody. ✈️back to LA. Kimmel on Tuesday! #excited #BodyOnMe'

Earn your sneaker stripes like Rita Ora

Back in the day, stripes on your shoulder denoted army rank or bravery or something laudable to do with fighting for your country but these days three stripes on your sneakers means one thing... adidas.

And Rita Ora is the poster girl for adidas - not to mention the fact that she's designed a load of collections for adidas Originals the brand's more 'street' line. So no surprise that she's wearing box fresh adidas Original Superstar trainers on her little feet. Fashion Finder often wonders if she wears a pair of sneakers once and then throws them away like disposable contact lenses... but we digress.

Anyway, white and black is a great summer combo on your feet whether you're wearing cut off shorts with bare legs or working a pair of cropped jeans or printed trousers like Rita is here. Great alternatives are Stan Smiths, or a bargain buy at YesStyle!

The star is in the middle of a mini tour of the US to promote her new single, Body On Me and her forthcoming new album.

Her new role as a judge on the UK's X Factor though, has required the star to fly back and forth between London and the States for filming, with the singer shooting the next stage of auditions for the ITV show back home last week.

Rita still has gigs in Atlanta, Boston and Washington DC over the coming weeks before she heads back to London for the start of the X Factor live shows this autumn.

Talking about her crazy schedule during a chat with KISS FM this week, Rita admitted she's given up a good night's sleep. 

'The thing is though, with what we do, I think it comes with a lot of sacrifice and it comes with a lot of knowing that, you know what, I'm not gonna sleep,' she explained.

'I take on a lot of things, and sometimes my team look at me and say, you know what? That's actually physically impossible to fly from there to there in under eight hours. I'm like, "no it's not, get me there now". If you want this world, you've got to work at it.'

She also admitted teaming up with US star Chris Brown for her new single Body On Me was a dream come true, teasing that the steamy video scenes 'weren't hard' to film. 'I think any female, depending on your taste, would vouch for me when I say it was an extremely eventful day. I'm only saying that because he's so, so easy to work with... I've always looked at Chris as someone that takes charge and control of his own destiny,' she gushed. 

Rita Ora will be performing at the KISS Haunted House Party on 29th October. Head to kissfmuk.com for tickets.
