Page 4 | RITA ORA- an example of all that is wrong with the world

peeweemermaid · 2024-05-07T11:04:53+00:00

I am being unreasonable, and not sure whether its jealousy or irritation that she has done so well with little discernible talent. However, she irritates me intensely for being presumably financially very successful for not wearing any clothes. MET Gala case in point. She is just such a narcissist. I know there are others out there, but she doesnt even have a crap reality show with her sisters

BustyLee · 07/05/2024 20:55

Wow. I just read that some of the bead on Ora’s dress are from the 1st century BC.

I am beyond jealous - I would love to go to the Met Gala and see all the wonderful fashion up close irl. Whatever we think many of those clothes are works of art.

I don't think her dress so bad as least all bits covered. One woman was wearing what looked like a wet white sheet all see through no bra all on show. Some of the dresses were beautiful and classy though and what the met gala all about, pity is a few trashy to bring the tone down. Rita looks like Jennifer Lopas in met photo.

Err... not the dress she changed to for the after party... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-13391247/amp/Rita-Ora-covers-breasts-husband-Taika-Waititi-return-hotel-night-Met-Gala.html?ico=amp_related_replace

Awful desperate look

Rita Ora and her husband Taika Waititi return after partying all night

With her ample cleavage on full display in the unforgiving sunlight, Rita attempted to preserve her modesty by covering her chest as she headed up to her room with the director.

Yes, how dare an Albanian refugee find success in her adoptive home, have a number one single and album and over a dozen top ten hits, become an honorary ambassador for her maternal country, and go on to be adored by millions. She should be sent to Rwanda!

One of my relatives worked with her. She wasn’t very friendly.

Not a fan either but think it is because of her antics with married men in the past. Did you see what that Ratjovic (spelt wrong) woman was not wearing. Lots at met gala with nipples and bits on show, desperate for attention. Yet they expect men not to look at them.

Monicaaa · 07/05/2024 20:31

@MaryMack
Ha ha amazing, did think it disproves the saying 'you can't polish a turd' cos that suit is very shiny.

For clarity I don't think Taika is a turd, i like his work.

Windypants21 · 07/05/2024 20:31

Rita Ora is talented and doesn't need to be semi naked, so it's a stretch to say i implied all women who dressed scantily were talentless.....it makes me question why they need to do it if they go on to demonstrate they're immensely talented, so all well and good. I referenced another woman for comparison who I feel hasn't got any real talent and exposes herself to get 'airtime'. If they want to go out there and shake it all about so be it, but I don't have to admire them for it, and i dont think it adds any credibility to them or their 'art'. I'm not sexist, illogical or reductive, i don't want to see anyone's bare ass flapping around in the name of fashion, or music, be they male or female. Women have been coerced, manipulated, abused and exploited in the fashion and film industry and I welcome those women who are now saying stop asking me dumb questions about how big my ass is, or, as happened in a few cases, whether they were wearing underwear under their costumes! But if you're running around at all the 'galas' exposing everything that god gave you then it makes it difficult to complain about being objectified.

Whether we like it or not what we wear, or not, has some bearing on how we are perceived by men and women. If a new male boss came to work with his shirt open to his navel, he would be ridiculed, and assumptions would be made about his credibility until he proved otherwise, women are no different.

TerryFuckwit · 07/05/2024 20:27

The vast majority of boy bands and girl bands who've been successful have done so with very little musical talent. Stealing a living from the naive who swoon at their pretty faces.

Sweden99 · 07/05/2024 20:25

@LesmisPhantom, I think Dua Lipa has a few things. Great catchy pop songs, and approachable cool. She is very good looking, not not outrageously so. One of the prettiest girls in class level. Cool, but not intimidatingly so.

I am more interested in wtaf was Taika wearing? Seriously...

Someone on Twitter said he looks like a type 4 on the Bristol Stool Chart 😂

So is Duncan from Blue, so the talent argument doesn’t really work here.

Show quote history

I think she’s a pretty good singer to be honest, I know it’s subjective and you don’t have to agree.

She’s had a handful of number 1 singles from what I remember.

She is not famous though for her outfit choices but for her singing, like it or not

Inkyblue123 · 07/05/2024 20:14

Amanda Holden another one is forever parading about in next to nothing and I can’t fathom What her talent is either.

LizzieBennett73 · 07/05/2024 20:11

I usually find that the less talent they have, the less clothing is worn.

SuperGreens · 07/05/2024 20:10

Theyre definitely channelling Kanye and Bianca, and god only knows why anyone would do that. Perhaps its a cry for help? And the tights with sandals is very meh.

But why would anybody care what some internet nobody thinks is 'pathetic', or 'attention seeking', @peeweemermaid ?

You obviously.erroneously believe your opinion is of interest or holds some value/interest or you wouldn't have started the thread, so maybe you could explain specifically what makes Rita Ora 'pathetic' and why the unprompted and unasked for slagging off other women on the internet is not, just to pick an example out of thin air.

She asked for comments,and attention by turning up to the met gala dressed like a gaudy fly curtain.

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

Yacht girl... wins misogynist comment of the day.

Well if you don’t give a fig about my opinion, you didn’t need to post. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

What gave you that idea.😀Actually, tbh dont have much feeling either way about La Ora, it’s more what she represents., hence using her as an example. They’re all pretty dire., including the KK clan, Holden etc.

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

Show quote history

But it is relevant, as she is getting more shit thrown at her because she is not white. You didnt make a post about many mediocre celebs and there is loads to pick from.

I never said that actually I said she had little discernible talent because I don’t think singing mediocre songs with a voice that isn’t any better than a local pub singers talent deserves the financial benefits she has received. Therefore I see her as just a pathetic attention seeker which unfortunately today appears to be financially beneficial. As I said irritating

She’s hardly young though is she at 33?

I guess she’s wearing these outfits before she has kids/gets divorced.

Ora didn't have to dress the way she did. She chose to. And it wasn't out of place for the event.

It's total sexist nonsense to decide a woman who dresses scantily can't be talented, as that poster did - even after admitting Ora is talented! It's fine not to like the dress but drawing ridiculous conclusions about a woman's talent or character from what she wears is sexist, reductive, illogical nonsense. If women's clothes really were that powerful, we would rule the world.
