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

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

she has a full body suit on under those beads!

I'd rather she didn't. She has flawless skin. The body suit made the whole outfit look a bit shit. I think it would have been next level if she just wore the beads.

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

But why do some women feel the need to dress like this? Some of the after party dresses (if you can call them that) were even more revealing, even if a body stocking was being worn

Because they want to.

Again, why is it that women who are wearing something you disapprove of or wouldn't choose for yourself must be doing so because they 'feel the need' to?

Is the idea that they might like the clothes and want to wear them that impossible to get your head round just because their preference differs from yours?

DodoTired · 07/05/2024 19:49

At least she sings!

EmRata doesn’t even do that!

OtsyBotsy90 · 07/05/2024 19:49

She’s got clothes on…. She’s got a whole skin coloured unitard on underneath her dangly dress…. She’s hardly baring all 😂

crumblingschools · 07/05/2024 19:51

@OtsyBotsy90 have you seen the other photos were she is baring quite a bit!

Does

Do you think it's bad for people to become Christians?

It's bad for sex offenders to pretend to be Christians in order to shield themselves from bad PR.

It takes the piss out of Christianity.

She’s a singer and actress.

so it’s wrong to say she has no discernible talent

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

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.

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.

33 is young!!!

So you don't like her then ? 😂

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

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.

SocksAndTheCity · 07/05/2024 20:07

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

LizzieBennett73 · 07/05/2024 20:11

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

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.

Halfheadhighlights · 07/05/2024 20:17

BananaLambo · 07/05/2024 19:56

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

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
