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

Yes there is 🙄
With regards to singing you may well be correct but it you catch her cameo in Southpaw you might find that she is a surprisingly talented actress.

This thread reminded me of when Whitney Houston was asked in an interview-

'What do you think of Mariah Carey?'

Her reply-

'What do I think of her?....

.....I don't think of her'

Hahahaha classic

I thought she looked amazing, if I had her figure and money is flaunt it too! She's young, enjoying herself, no ill will from me!

But my question is are they just doing this because it is a patriarchal society. Would they be as noticed/or wear such clothes if it was only women noticing them, or women had the power in the industry.

Do they have power wearing these clothes or are they being exploited?

You've made the mistake of thinking MN allows a sense of humour at all, it brings out the holier-than-thou brigade very quickly!

Aargh I've just watched a video of all the celebs posing for photographs. I'd give my right chubby arm to look anything like that (the posing is a bit silly but it's for the photos innit), and the Met Gala is supposed to be art - tits and arse can be art, maybe it's just not to everyone's taste.

I doubt any of them will be crying all the way back to the mansion in the limo at what a bunch of us vipers think anyway.

I'm more offended by Russell Brand being baptised in the Thames.
That said, it's full of shit, like him so appropriate.
Why do alleged sex offenders think being born again absolves them from their past sins/potential legal suits. Same stunt as Andrew Tate embracing Islam.
Distract Divert Quick! Look over there!

They wear them to get noticed. It doesn’t matter what they get noticed for. Taking clothes off is still the easiest way for a woman to get noticed. I’m so grateful to all the women who fight for my right to take my clothes off.

The Met Gala isn't a normal day, though. I've worn some rather outlandish stuff when the occasion allowed or required it. Why would you think a woman would only ever truly want to wear what you think she should wear?

The Lady Garden Of Time

I will repeat this joke until y'all start appreciating it!

Do people think women wear these clothes because they like them? Do they wear body stockings and see through clothes on a normal day, and just add a bit of sparkle when on show?

The MET Gala theme is always dress to shock. It's why I love it.😍

@SabreIsMyFave I've never thought about her really, but was sharing my fifty pence. 🤣
Sorry if you disagree? Her husband is a famous Hollywood movie director.

Watch Louis theroux meets Rita orange in bbc player. I also used to find her irritating but this episode made me change my mind.

Before the photos came out I made a bet with myself that Rita Ora and Emily Ratajkowski would be basically naked as usual.

I won.

The theme last night wasn’t dress to shock, it was The Garden of Time, with the exhibit being Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. So whimsical, ethereal, romantic.

What those two did was get their tits and asses out like they always do because it’s all they have to offer.

Yeah I am amazed this thread is still standing. It's fucking vile, and is bringing out the nasties.

Wow, @BobbyBiscuits Rita Ora really does live rent free in your head doesn't she? 😂 You know a lot more about her than I do, for someone who hasn't heard her or sing - or speak! 😆 I don't even know who her husband is!

@Allfur

What's a butter face? Whatever, she's v pretty

@Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain is playing down what she means. She is being pretty vile about Rita Ora. Butterface or Butters means butt-ugly. Let's see a photograph of you @Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain !!!

Women attacking women for what they choose to wear/their appearance etc. Is this what mumsnet feels is ‘in the spirit’? 🧐

Tbh I don't know any of her songs but still know she is smart enough to run business with singing, being judge on some show and selling her things at Primark.
Good for her.
You don't need special talent to be sucessfull. I look at every girl who racks so much with "no skills" as amazing inspiration how far you can go if you work for it.

And OP, Met Gala is about having the most photographed dress! From Rihannas scrambled egg to one of the Kardashians fully (painted?) black, to Blake and her colour changeing dress. No one is going there in LTB and trying to lay low. And here you are making MN click and goigle search Rita. She played you nicely!

Arguably, it takes more graft to be successful without talent than with it. I don’t think she is without talent actually but it seems a popular opinion on this thread.
I quite like some of her catchy little tunes and it seems to me she’s from a really hardworking family. Good for her I say. Go Rita!

The only song I know of hers is New Rules which I really like. As I’ve learnt from this thread, my knowledge of her was limited!

Thanks babe 🏆

These rumours have been circulating for years, it's nothing new.

For Fuck Sake, I actually hate Russell Brand!
Rita Ora is annoying but I wouldn't say she's a narcissist she just likes to flaunt what's she's got.

it's a stretch to say i implied all women who dressed scantily were talentless

No, you just said that you thought they were. "When I see women scantily dressed I think they have little talent." Even while accepting Ora does have talent, so you know it's nonsense but you do it anyway. Good to see you have accepted that the problem is actually your attitude.

Such ridiculous judgements (a woman's dress has nothing to do with how well she sings, acts, writes, plumbs or treats other people) are one way by which women are exploited, so if you're so anxious that they should be treated like people and judged on what they do rather than what they wear, you know where to start.

Stop using systemic exploitation of women to whitewash your own sexism about women's clothing. You aren't fighting it, you're perpetuating it.
