Happy anniversary, @RitaOra and @TaikaWaititi! To celebrate their special day, the couple has shared their never-before-seen wedding album with Vogue.
Over the past year, information about their nuptials has spread like wildfire across the internet—not all of it correct. “It’s actually been quite entertaining for us to see the different stories people made up and all the while getting to keep it to ourselves,” Rita admits. “And, I love that we now get to share what really happened—and to do it on our one year anniversary no less!”
“Rita [Ora] proposed to me, and I said ‘yes’ instantly,” filmmaker Taika Waititi says of how he and the singer-songwriter became engaged. While the pair first met at a barbecue in 2018 that Taika hosted at his house in L.A., it wasn’t until 2021, when they were both filming in Australia, that they began dating. Rita popped the question while on vacation in Palm Springs in the summer of 2022, and they planned an impromptu wedding to be held in Los Angeles a few weeks later, on August 4. “It wasn’t in London or in France like everyone reported,” Taika clarifies. “It was in L.A. with a small group of friends.”

After comedies about vampires, pirates, and a Superhero God, you might not have expected @taikawaititi to make a sports film. But that’s sort of why he did it. Read more in @imjasondiamond’s chat with the filmmaker; our third cover feature in Issue 33. Photography @jaiodell Styling @julielucilevelut Grooming @melissa.dezarate
Taika wears @zegnaofficial Winter 2023. Excerpt below:
The big, unifying figure in his work – whether it’s vampires going about their unlives in the suburbs, Indigenous people living in a colonised world, or even the Norse God of Thunder trying to navigate the human world – is ultimately the outsider. It’s a theme he can identify with, in part just because of where he’s from. New Zealand is “an island of four-million people and we’re so far away from anything. If you want to escape, the nearest place is Australia, which is an absolute shithole,”

#yes23 is a referendum taking place in Australia on October 14. The aim is to give Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people a voice in parliament so they can weigh in on issues that affect their lives. Simple as that. How do I know this? I googled it. But many Australians are confused or freaked out about what it means. Don’t be! It’s a good thing! Just do good things! Also Google it ya lazy mongrels.
🖤💛❤️
VOTE YES to THE VOICE on OCT 14.
