Page 16 | RITA ORA- an example of all that is wrong with the world

Coshei · 07/05/2024 12:24

I don’t understand what the problem is. She is a very beautiful woman.

Startingagainandagain · 07/05/2024 12:23

Maybe not an example of what is wrong with the world, but definitely an example of vulgarity and tackiness.

She looks ridiculous in that 'dress' at the Met gala and desperate for attention.

Basically the type of low-rent celebrity that got lucky but does not really have real talent to maintain a decent career and longevity so relies on cheap publicity stunts to keep herself in the media spotlight.

Best ignored I think.

I couldn't call out Rita specifically as there are just too many vacuous celebrities to choose from but I get your thinking generally, OP...I mean, who are they? What are they for?? (Channeling Nikki Grahame there, bless her RIP)

Youre absolutely right. My DM scrolling led me to her and the over hyping and hence financial success of this vacuous idiots is very annoying. Perhaps also showing my age, but Rita ORA as a successful music artist, must have been living under a rock for 20 years because I cant think of one song!

My favourite twitter theory is that she's something to do with money laundering. She's not successful (all her music fails now) but keeps popping up everywhere.

All Power to the Ora!

She's worked hard with what she's got, and has managed to bag and hold some very high profile presenting and panel jobs.

She can sing , dance and is good value on whatever show she appears on.

Commenting on her dress sense , well you've missed the point of the Met Gala but she can dress how she wants.

Love the poster who has chucked in the insanely talented Dua Lipa in as well, who is headlining Glastonbury, to the ' I don't get it' snark.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 07/05/2024 12:21

She speaks very highly of you too OP

Yep, another Albanian who doesn't know her place...

Honestly, the hatred that successful refugees and immigrants get on Mumsnet is off the scale.

Show quote history

Funny that, considering I’m a Muslim refugee too who didn’t become a British citizen until I was a pre teen. I’m one of the first to call out the blatant racism and Islamophobia on Mumsnet.

But yes, you can carry on assuming that I’m looking down on them because they are also refugees…

The most striking, elegant, classy and stylish woman at that event was Pamela Anderson. So many "fashion" designers clearly hate women between making them naked and the sack cloth dresses beloved by Style and Beauty the female form is seemingly no longer celebrated more thrown to the wolves under the guise of female empowerment.

Why dont you get a grip. The only person mentioning her refugee status is you. Frankly I wasnt even aware of it, because I generally put Rita Ora in the box of over hyped, under clothed, irritating and talentless twats - however, I note that is unreasonable, but not due to her refugee status

I think anyone who’s rich and famous will be a narcissist as you kinda need to be to trample on others to get yourself to the top. However Rita ora is such a random celeb to call out specifically. Theres far worse untalented awful people out there

This. Narcissism is par for the course in the entertainment business.

Ikeashowroom · 07/05/2024 12:17

I'd argue that she has a lot more talent than the reality show sisters you were trying to knock. She's actually released a couple of albums and been in a few films. She has also been on the voice somewhere and a few other TV hosting gigs.

I'm under no illusions that her looks haven't held her career back in anyway and have helped her to keep the lights on when her music career took a bit of a nose dive. But I can't hate her.

FineWordsForAPorcupine · 07/05/2024 12:17

I think its catty to say she's "presumably financially very successful for not wearing any clothes". Isn't she more famous for being a multi-award winning, higly successful music artist?

Oh but sorry, I was forgetting - women should be judged on how they dress not on their achievements. Especially if they are clutches pearls and sucks teeth, drops voice to a whisper a bit trampy.

Oh guess mumsnet not the place for over exaggeration as a form of humour. Is there an emoji for eye roll

Yes! Its 🙄 and just the right amount of sass I think.

There are a lot of rumours/blinds about her being a yacht girl, so that might explain it! Shes also married to a famous film director so I guess she just runs in those circles.

I agree though! I liked a couple of her songs but I'm always suprised she hasn't disappeared into obscurity

I am somewhat baffled by her too. She was never really a big star and her songs were very average, yet she seems to have done so well. I think being married to Taika Waitiki has helped put her name out there.

Dua Lipa is another one who seems to be mixing with A-listers now that I’m similarly confused by.

SpringOnionChicken · 07/05/2024 12:15

Good on her for being successful but I can’t listen to her music. It’s just not good.

Beatrixslobber · 07/05/2024 12:15

If I had her figure I wouldn’t wear clothes either.

It was the met gala, people dress to shock. The more shocking the more publicity. It’s not narcissistic if that’s your job. It would look bizarre if they wore twinsets and pearls.

If you think Rita Ora is bad - TRY THIS! 😱😂🙄

Bear Grylls ‘helped baptise Russell Brand’ in River Thames (msn.com)

I'd heard Russell Brand had had a come to God moment (totally sincere I'm sure, and not at all an aid to his current grift) but hadn't realised Bear Grylls was in on it too.

Bleurgh.

Would be an awful shame if they caught a month long dose of diarrhea from the Thames water.

Have you seen the photos from the Met gala There is limited cloth or stitching so I would argue definitely not a dress

It looks like she got tangled up in one of those dangly insect door curtains circa 1970.

I got vibes of that lass that Kanye keeps parading about with very little on. Like we’re taking part in someone else’s fantasy.
