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

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

ArchaeoSpy · 07/05/2024 18:07

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

froggirl · 07/05/2024 18:22

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.

SabreIsMyFave · 07/05/2024 18:24

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! 🙄

Lifeomars · 07/05/2024 18:24

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

RaisinRainbow · 07/05/2024 18:30

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!

Echobelly · 07/05/2024 18:35

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.

RitaKiaOraJustForMeAndMyDog · 07/05/2024 18:36

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

Woof

TimWhoretons · 07/05/2024 18:37

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

AGoingConcern · 07/05/2024 18:38

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.

notacooldad · 07/05/2024 18:41

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.

Rollinroller · 07/05/2024 18:41

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.

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

peeweemermaid · 07/05/2024 12:10

Have you seen the photos from the Met gala There is limited cloth or stitching so I would argue definitely not a dress

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.

Mummadeze · 07/05/2024 18:44

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.

SanctusInDistress · 07/05/2024 18:47

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.

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

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.

PalomaColumbine · 07/05/2024 12:12

I got vibes of that lass that Kanye keeps parading about with very little on. Like we’re taking part in someone else’s fantasy.

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

mydamnfootstuckinthedoor · 07/05/2024 18:53

I like Rita Ora

CarterBeatsTheDevil · 07/05/2024 18:58

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