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

She's been absolutely rinsed on Twitter/X today with her outfit being compared to a 60's/70's anti-fly curtain, proper made me laugh so I guess she does have entertainment value. In the scale of modern day wrongness she is very far down my list

You sounds so bitter and jealous of Rita Ora @peeweemermaid 😆

The more people tell you YABU, the more angry you're getting. Why post on AIBU. and then throw your toys out of your cot when people challenge you on it?

Also, Rota Ora's ethnic origin is not Albanian. It's Kosovan! 🙄

She doesn't seem much different to a lot of other celebs at the moment to be honest.

It's not young celebs that are the problem, it's the culture they're living/ growing in. She is just gaining success and attention how she can and in a way that is completely validated and even celebrated by our current society.

Doesn’t matter who is wearing that dress - it’s a copy cat of Ye’s mostly naked wife’s outfit that makes it all kinds of wrong for me

But the Kardashians were only famous because mum sold a sex tape of her daughter. I'm not sure what talent they have except for conning people into thinking they are important or special.

I often wonder how does Rita Ora have the career she has? Have you ever met anyone who really loves her music and is passionate about her? She has/had licensing deals with so many firms e.g. Rimmel, Primark but on what grounds? To justify those deals you'd think there would be some sort of equivalent to the Swifties but I've never come across anyone who'd identify as such. It's a fascinating mystery to me.

The Met Ball always brings to mind Edgar Allan Poe’s ‘Masque of the Red Death’ for me.

Had a look at this link and I am glad to say I dont know any of them.
I live in a different world and reality.

@peeweemermaid id also debate that its similar for football , other tv, film personalities etc

I have worked with her, and she is extremely dumb. I understand she has a very good team behind her.

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

No, he hates her because she’s a Democrat and urges her fans to vote likewise.

Look - the commercial entertainment industry survives on taking good looking or plain but can be glammed up looking people, overhyping their talent, endowing them with celebrity and then exploiting the results. The creation of 'celebrity' is a means for people to get rich (very often at the expense of the celebrity who is discarded when they are no longer bankable, and often left in a terrible state). For every Rita Ora there are hundreds of young women and men who've been promised the earth and taken advantage of, in every way, on the hope that they can be the next big thing. Abuse is rife (see Baby Reindeer!). So yes YABU because you are buying into the brand of Rita Ora that is being sold and not understanding it is your envy in part that fuels this horrible state of affairs. She is a human person and her 'success' comes with massive strings attached.

Everyone loves Taytay cos she’s an all American girl though. Does Trump like her?!

I find her quite bland but then I’m not the age to be her target market nor do I have daughters. I’d probably go to her concert but no one I know closely is going.

She’s a bit of a butter face though… I see nothing much attractive about her face but her body is great. I think she knows this though, hence the dress.

I quite like her. I like anyone who does well for themselves and think she can dress how she wants. Very un mumsnetty. I can’t ever imagine being irritated by such things

She’s hardly young though is she at 33?

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

I'm not a fan but an example of all that is wrong with the world? No, not at all. Not my cup of tea but much, much worse out there.

I think she is a bit annoying, however she is very attractive, has a lovely body, this time in her life won't last for ever, I see no harm in her making the most of it

I’ve just checked out Rita’s outfit. It’s a brave choice and I’m not sure if I’d have ever worn that when I was younger with her figure.

I was expecting a lot worse though.

It’s a bit off topic but what sort of party is the Met Gala? Is it fun or just a weird, large room full of people posing?

But she’s an annoying waste of skin, attention seeking, loves herself a lot. The fact she’s a refugee is neither here nor there. Her lockdown birthday party was the icing on the cake for me.

Dua Lipa at least can sing a bit and is/was a model.

No hate towards refugees or asylum seekers from my side. The only reason why MN dislikes them sometimes is because they’re divisive in terms of money spent on them and from my mind economic migrants aren’t quite the same as someone claiming refuge or asylum due to war in their country.

It's a costume party for the fashion industry. It's full of rich, important or famous people so the fashion industry provides them with extremely flashy costumes. The making of these costumes - even the naked dresses - keeps hundreds of artisans, mostly female, in well-paid work for a year.

Due to the fame, wealth and sheer opulence on display, the media take lots of pictures. This motivates the people involved to take part, and the dressed-up guests to buy the very expensive tickets.

That's how such things work, and I'm sure all the designers thank you for noting their oeuvres. Sure, I wish naked dresses hadn't been a regular feature of the performance for the last 50 years. But they have.

I doubt Rita Ora's making any kind of a statement with hers, other than the obligatory nod to this year's theme. I imagine the conversation went something like:
"It's a garden forgotten by time - I can get these amazing beads made from Ancient Roman glass by local craftsmen. Essentially, they've been lying in the ground for over 2,000 years! And they're gorgeous!"
"Sounds wonderful!"
"Yeah, we should allow their unique beauty to shine by draping them very simply across your naked body, letting them move and shimmer with you."
"Naked?"
"In a body stocking, haha."
"Ok, I'm in. Can I keep some of the beads?"

I've always liked her because of the way she handled the misogyny directed at her, because of her once active sex life.
Her explanation of her outfit interesting. Every young person is allowed to enjoy how they look. A lot went with the barely there outfits.

I've just seen the second outfit she wore on the same evening. Emperor's new clothes spring to mind. She's got nothing on, she'll catch her death.
