Nice puff piece in the Thursday Style section about Ms. Ora. It pretty much gives a run-down of her career over the last year in a two page nutshell.
Her signature look
Quote:
|
"Peroxide blonde, and usually spotted with her full lips painted matte red (although for the interview she wore a pinkish nude to “match the neutrals theme” of her zippered blush pink leather pants and taupe silk top, both by Salvatore Ferragamo), Ms. Ora seems as if she would probably be able to find a spotlight in Antarctica."

How Rita is the latest London fashion muse
Quote:
|
“If fashion muses bloom in the dead of winter, as ateliers begin to hum with sewing machines preparing for the Fall 2013 collections, the singer Rita Ora might be a particularly flamboyant breed of English rose. At 22, Ms. Ora, the prized protégé of Jay-Z, has been rapidly winning over designers with her carefree style: a blend of hip-hop, designer bling and ’90s Gwen Stefani.”

Her entourage (I didn’t know Iggy opened for her)
Quote:
|
"Her voice was slightly scratchy from the previous night, when she’d performed her last show of the year at the Highline Ballroom in a giant fur coat, which quickly came off to reveal a black sports bra and loose Roberto Cavalli printed silk pajamas. Afterward, she partied into the wee hours with Iggy Azalea, an opening act for Ms. Ora’s sold-out show; Cara Delevingne, a model whom Ms. Ora first met at a music festival and called “my baby”; and Ms. Ora’s older sister, Elena, 24, who is one of her managers and was also at lunch, along with the singer’s publicist, her stylist, and the stylist’s assistant."

Her music success in the UK
Quote:
|
"And this despite the fact that her first album, “Ora,” doesn’t yet have a firm release date in the United States, though it was released (at No. 1 on the pop chart) in Britain in August and a music video single, “Shine Ya Light,” has topped 5.6 million views on YouTube at last count."

Her twitter problems
Quote:
|
"In early December, there was an apparent dispute with the reality star Rob Kardashian, who was rumored to be her boyfriend, although the relationship was never officially acknowledged; he suggested she had cheated on him with “nearly 20 dudes.” The rant on Twitter, since deleted, spawned the unfortunate hashtag “RitaWhora.”

Quote:
|
“A couple of weeks after the interview, though, she was less reserved in an expletive-laced Twitter face-off with Holly Hagan of “Geordie Shore,” the British answer to “Jersey Shore,” furiously rebutting Ms. Hagan’s allusions that she had an affair with Jay-Z. Ms. Ora’s tweets have since been removed.”

. . . and, there's even a nice video of Rita out shopping, too.
Enjoy, Rita-Bots!
