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

I'm not a fan of her but how exactly has she got no talent? She can sing, ffs? You might not like er songs but she's had a handful of hits over the years and her voice is pretty good.

I think she comes across as quite personable on eg The Masked Singer - certainly less irritating that Davina but obviously these things come down to the tastes of viewers.

She's happily married and just getting on with her life.

Why the need for the hatred?

oh honestly NonPlayerCharacter give over. I am saying their outfit choices appeared to in a depressing way endorse the entertainment business patriarchy power imbalance and that with no irony they are showcasing the apparent purpose and status of women in that business. That message is a bad look on anyone, and definitely in a couple in a LTR.

How you make the leaps you have in your post from mine, I have no idea. Metoo requires every decent man in Hollywood to try to do way better for women in their industry. If your private life is on display then it requires that in that public part of your life too.

Actually, I've just seen her second outfit. Nothing covered up about that one, so ignore my previous post!

Still don't particularly see the issue though, if someone wants to walk around with very little on, than thats up to them.

when I see women scantily dressed I think they have little talent so are screaming for attention

There's no reason a woman can't be talented while dressing scantily; you even say right before this that Ora has a great voice, so you do actually know this is nonsense and it's just a made up stick to attack women for dressing in a way you don't like. Women who dress more demurely aren't automatically more talented or nicer people either. It's 2024 and we're still deciding whether women are talented or worthy by their clothes.

It's a shame a lot of talented women only feel relevant when being as risqué as possible. Rita Ora has an amazing voice, she is a beautiful woman, has a great body but doesnt need to be this exposed. Each to their own I suppose, but when I see women scantily dressed I think they have little talent so are screaming for attention...see Emily Ratokowski (?). I'd love to look like either of them but I def would be wearing alot more clothes. Come back Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, beautiful clothes are missing you.

And if true, that's the fault of the men in charge.

It's very well known she slept her way to where she is.

I'm assuming funnel or a shewe, I don't think they drink for hours before these "Dos" because there is no way that they can sit down in these dresses! Or maybe they get changed after the red carpet?

I'm not part of that crowd, but I applaud them.

During this thread I have Googled yacht girls and blackfishing. I haven't Googled Rita Ora songs because I really don't care 🙂

You do see that she's got a full length leotard on under those beads don't you? The only bits of flesh on show are her arms, her neck / head, and ankles down.

She's probably one of the most covered up women there.

How do you go to the loo in that?

@peeweemermaid

I agree to a certain extant

just like Kim Kadishan and Amanda Holden and Co

Not much talent really

The less talented they are

The more they feel a need to flaunt as much of their body to compensate for the lack of talent

Or

And if they are performing 🎭 they have to have seriously flashy videos of themselves to distract how crap 💩their music really is

Yes its here🙄. The Met Gala is ridiculous the people who attended are ridiculous but they and Rita ora is harming no-one!

Exactly what I came on to say.

The success of Albanian stars Rita Ora, Dua Lipa and Bebe Rexha seems to rub people up the wrong way.

As a man in entertainment after #metoo in Hollywood it’s massively not a great look for the man to be looking dressy but not revealing and the woman next to him to be hugely revealing.

That's a very unpleasant and problematic connection to make. Ora chose to wear that dress to an event. #metoo and the casting could were not about women's choices of clothes and it's very dangerous to suggest that women are somehow to blame for how they dress.

Have you even heard her sing live? I'm not saying she is on the levels of Whitney and Adele but she certainly isn't talentless. As well as being a good singer she can dance, has a great energy and is a great performer. Her music isn't to everyone's taste (who's is) but plenty do enjoy her music.
You said it yourself anyway. It's jealousy! It is so sad that women hate on other women due to jealousy.

Had to look up "yacht girl" and now it seems obvious (replace 'yacht' with 'call' and you're there).

Along with the recent revelations about puff daddy et al, it seems like the entertainment world really is just organised and run according to whatever gets men off...

My 10p worth is that she's got a fabulous figure as do most of them. If you've got it and want to why not flaunt your body, their assets are their income. Rita's dress is very similar to the door fly screen thing I've been looking to buy though 😂

Some is sucessful for whatever and making shed loads of dosh doing it, meh.
The local dairy could make a killing on milk for so many catty remarks on MN though. So many jealous and bitchy posters on so many threads.

I don’t have any music or TV on. Not because I’m anti media or screen time, but I just don’t have it on and when I do, it’s children stuff. I love when I get the car to myself and I can listen to one of my playlists.

I mean, right now, 10 little speckled frogs is playing on my Spotify…says it all!

The dress was a bit gross though it was by no means the only sheer affair that was worn, it was just the more tacky and non joyous in its revealingness because he wore basically standard smart man clothes that didn’t reveal his flesh and she wore basically… nothing.

As a man in entertainment after #metoo in Hollywood it’s massively not a great look for the man to be looking dressy but not revealing and the woman next to him to be hugely revealing. It looks too much like they both massively uphold and serve the Hollywood patriarchy. I thought they would each have been more self aware. So it’s a bit of a depressing choice on their first married outing to the Met. Why can’t they understand what they look like standing together?

1. Think a lot of you need to google what the Met gala is - from wiki: The Met Gala or Met Ball, formally called the Costume Institute Gala or the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute in Manhattan, New York, USA. The Met Gala is popularly regarded as the world's most prestigious and glamorous fashion event and social gathering and is known as "fashion's biggest night"
2. OP is allowed to like or dislike whoever she likes, regardless of their refugee status. Personally not sure she is any more narcissistic than any one else who has actively tried to get into the spotlight. She kind of reminds me of Geri Halliwell tbh.

The devil works hard, but Rita’s publicist works harder

She may become a good actress but she was awful in 50 shades of Grey.
