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

She's trying to make it in the states (again, first time she was sucking off jay z so she got kicked out) but it's not coming off. I always think she looks like she's just been styled by so many people, but does not have her own unique style or look at all. Yet she doesn't really have the figure for a model. I don't think I've ever heard her sing or speak? So yeah, not a major fan. Her husband is starting to annoy me now as well, and I used to quite like him.

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.

But isn’t it okay to question why women have to do this? Many women in Hollywood are quite powerful in terms of being highly skilled accomplished and wealthy. I always think it is weird to have a job where they are required to attire themselves in a highly decorative ultra feminine style while the men, while smart, are nowhere near as objectified.

I just think it's a shame that women feel the need to do this when they do have enough talent to attract as much attention as they need. As I said ' each to their own,' but my view of moving forward is for women to not have to expose themselves physically, they might want to of course, but for the ones who dont there is probably an executive saying wear this or that, if you dont want to then such and such will, or saying you havent got the 'face' for the music industry. There are plenty of men out there who arent lookers but still have a music career, not too many less aethetically pleasing women though. We have battled for equality, yet we are still having women interviewed being asked what they're wearing, how fat or thin they are, what diet theyre on, how quickly they snapped back into their size 0 jeans after their baby, blah blah blah, rather than being asked about their achievements. To get on the front page they have to wear as little as possible or be provocative because they're up against the Kardashians Ratakowskis (?) et al who really dont have a talent but are the ones getting big butt's and wearing skin tight or semi nude outfits which of course gets them the front pages.

You?

I'd have thought Primark and Rimmel was about the right level- recognisable and enduring to a wide base but not superstar fame

Those "naked" body stockings are often much more robust than they look. I remember seeing the infamous Versace dress Jennifer Lopez wore at a V&A exhibition. The internal body stocking was as sturdy and about as revealing as M&S shapewear for the traditionally built.

YANBU Rita looks awful but she has zero shame, she’ll do anything for attention but then the Met Gala is full of talentless, narcissistic people. Fair play to the protestors outside who know the absolute nonsense of it all.

She is known to have slept her way to the top but I imagine this is what many women had to do (unless they had rich parents and connections like Taylor Swift) to become famous.

OP has already said she's being unreasonable and having a rant, which goodness knows we all do from time to time

She's a good-looking, competent performer in showbusiness, wearing an attention-grabbing outfit at the fashion event of the year

I like Rita Ora

Very much agree. Same slicked back short hair and expressionless face. Hooker chic

It’s a person who has an attractive body but not her face (but not face) hence butter face.

I must be looking at someone very different because I don’t see Rita is attractive at all. Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift, yes. I’ll concede that Rita does have some attractive features. Just not as a whole. And she just looks up herself, eg if she were a cake, she’d eat herself.

Let’s face it if she was famous in the 90s/00s she be straight in all the lads mags such as Nuts and Zoo, like Danni Minogue et al were. We’re too PC these days.

As I said before I was expecting a lot worse of her and the dress, it’s designed to attract attention.

I just feel sorry for them. Imagine getting caught in that vortex of having to take clothes off to get attention. It’s so important for young girls to see this so that they are encouraged to have an education or to develop a skill so they can get a job and don’t need to rely on their nakedness for a meal.

the interesting thing is that men don’t feel the need to strip to be ‘seen’ to get music and acting gigs. Such a shame that this is what women without talent have to do to get acting and music gigs.

Personally, I think she is beautiful and funny and a great judge on The Masked Singer. She also has a very good singing voice. I really warm to her and so I don’t get your opinion at all.

She wasn't alone though

Some of the outfits were costume and fabulous. Some were ridiculous. Some were classic and class.

And some were very, very tacky.

They were celebrity adjacent before that because of their connection to Nicole Brown.

The Kardashians, and others like them, have careers because there is a market and an audience for what they do. Is it to everyone’s taste? No. But they have a talent for monetising themselves which is no different to becoming extremely rich and successful in business for example where you might not have necessarily an obvious talent or qualification but be good at selling. They are selling a version of themselves, and doing very well out of it.

I didn't know she's Albanian (and it's probably the same for many other posters on here).
I always understand she was from Kosovo and had Albanian parents and they fled during the war.

If you actually want these people to go away, the best thing you can do is never type or click on their name or picture.

Creating a multi-page thread to talk about them on an active forum is just serving their goal.

Kanye and Bianca have a lot to answer for. See also Doja Cat wandering around in her hotel sheet and cling film outfits.

I'd avoid Slovenia's entry tonight if nude bodysuits aren't your thing.

Woof

Nothing wrong with her other than, despite being a very pretty girl I think she always wears stuff/has a style that just doesn't suit her.

She (or perhaps rather her stylist) often goes for this 'avant garde' style but it doesn't feel natural, it feels like it's done to her and the clothes are wearing her rather than the other way around. For me she is one of the worst dressed celebs and it's a shame because she could look so much better.

And I like weird/avant garde fashion, but it does not work on her at all.

Wow just looked at her garb.Basically a pair of tights and a beaded curtain. Very unstylish. And what happened to her hair? RO is a beautiful woman and could have looked sensational in ...actual clothes!
