Rita showed off her incredible physique in the skintight strapless jumpsuit, which was emblazoned with orange flames in homage to her 2012 smash hit R.I.P. 

In keeping with the reincarnation theme, the songstress strutted around in the angel wings, made from thousands of different coloured orange, red and black feathers.
