If you
didn’t know already, Rita Ora is up for EMA’s Best Look, so I have decided to
list 5 reasons why she should win this category. Rita is up against Black Widow
bestie Iggy Azalea, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift. You’re
probably already thinking about how different everybody’s style is in this category.
However with this post, I am attempting to not only inform you on Rita’s
infamous style but also persuade you to vote for her! Let me ask you a question, when you think of Rita, what do you think of? YES, you think of her crazy clothes! They may spark a mixed reaction but either way she
is recognised by her daring outfits and I would love you to keep that in mind whilst
reading the rest of this post. Now, lets begin!
Risk taker Rita
Rita Ora's style is individual, it's unique and she doesn't give 2 shits about what others think. There is nobody
out there who is as confident as Rita when it comes to fashion, she isn’t
afraid to take risks and when you're unstoppable like that your outfits will always look on point! You may think she doesn’t always get it right and everybody is entitled to their own opinions, but even if the outfit is a lil cray, she still wears it good. What I love about Rita’s style
is she’s open-minded; she welcomes culture and customs when visiting other
countries. Rita has stressed in interviews; fashion is all about having fun and not
taking yourself too seriously, it’s an adventure and that’s why her look is always so different from the previous.
Relaxed Rita
Rita is frequently
papped flying in and out of international airports and her main necessity for a
flight seems to be comfort. There is nothing worst than feeling confined and
restricted in skintight jeans on a long 12 hour flight to Los Angeles. Although
I do sometimes wonder how she flies in them Balmain leather pants! Rita tends
to go for clothes that are oversized and warm. Sweat pants, beanies, hoodies, trainers and
generally layering to reach maximum comfort. If I could pull off sweats like Rita, I would wear them every day and to be frank nobody in this category can wear them like her.
Hair
for dayz
Since Rita appeared on the
scene in early 2012, you could say she's changed her hair quite a lot. Although
she is most known for her blonde curls, she isn’t afraid to switch up the style
or colour. From long to short, curly to straight, multi-coloured dreads to
undercut massive. Rita changes her hair frequently because she believes “its
part of the outfit” (Cosmo) so it depends on what she’s wearing. It can also
depend on where she is, for example whilst promoting her colour pack in South
Korea recently she played it up and had fun adding pastel colours to her bold
bob! Nobody can go from long waves to a short bob and still look good... except Rita duh.
Red
lips
I find It's hard to rock a red lip and look good/be confident at the same time. I always find myself worrying if I have it stuck to my teeth or if its smudged on my chin. However obviously Rita does this effortlessly as she is the queen of red lips
and quote she once said, “I walked into this industry with reds lips and I
will leave this industry with red lips. Mark my words”. Red lipstick reflects Rita's personality; its daring, sexy and fearless. For Rita, a red lip isn't just to be worn when wearing something glamorous, it's about making something glamorous.
Stage
style
Something
that I have mentioned before on this blog is how much time and effort goes into
Rita’s stage outfits. Each performance can be distinguished from the others by
the outfit she wears. This is what I love about her stage style, the fact its
not just about the music but collectively she thinks about the performance as a whole. It’s a collaboration of art between the designer and
Rita herself. No other artist out there or in this category in fact does this.
I feel Rita likes everything to be cohesive; from the stage to the band to the
dancers. There is nothing better than when a live performance tells a story and every thing
just clicks. Everything is more effective when effort is recognised and the artist has also thought about the audience as well as their side of the show.
If this post has swayed you to vote for Rita, it's a really easy process! It will literally take you less than a minute and you will make me very happy.
