Hot Shots: Rita Ora Stuns For ‘Harpers Bazaar’

Published: Saturday 1st Dec 2012 by David

 Blown away?

If so, welcome to the club. For, if ever we needed a reason to hail Rita Ora‘s as one of Pop’s prettiest starlets, here it is.

Storming the pages of ‘Harper’s Bazaar‘ with a smouldering shoot, the chart topping Brit drew on her inner tom boy sporting a black and white tuxedo, delivering an interview which saw her address fame, style and her debut album ‘ORA‘.

More below…

On her style:

I’m a boy girl. I love my trainers and mixing comfort with sleek, clean lines. I love flamboyancy and glamour and elegance. I love that over-exaggerated style.”

Dishing on her influences:

‘Growing up I loved Beyoncé and Gwen Stefani because they were honest girls, but people always need a new role model relevant to them. I find it exciting that girls have really connected with me and my music and that I have the power to change someone’s life in three minutes, to wake them up.’

    Gurrrrrrrl, I think I’ve figured out why this… “I want to be Rihanna/I want to have Rihanna’s style/I want to emulate Rihanna’s career/I want the shape of Rihanna’s C*******”… wannabe B**** is SO motherfucking lacking in the femininity department…

    She is very adrogynous looking. She could pass for a man, woman and Wendy Williams transsexual brother all in ONE go.

  9. Saphistocation December 1, 2012

    Why didn’t she tell the truth that Rihanna is her greatest influence? SMH! She oozes everything Rih Rih (nails, jewelry, style…and the list goes on).

  16. Girl007Bond December 1, 2012

    She is a Rihanna wannabe

  17. Simply me December 1, 2012

    Lol smh@ my weave is laid

    When it gets to the point of people hating others for liking someone (such as their assemble in a photoshoot) they don’t care for shows their negative demeanor and ignorance in general.

    Like I stated before, her look is cute and I definitely see my self rocking that whole look 🙂 God bless

    • MY WEAVE IS LAID TO THE SIDE LIKE UNEMPLOYMENT December 1, 2012

      I had too im sick of these funky h***

  18. Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 1, 2012

    She looks so old.

    • MY WEAVE IS LAID TO THE SIDE LIKE UNEMPLOYMENT December 1, 2012

      Like she could be your mother’s age yup

  19. JOHNVIDAL December 1, 2012

    She looks great. It´s ok if Rihanna looks better, we know. But this girl is not ugly, obviously
    Stop with the basic hate, you are all uglier than these people for damn sure
    Oh why am I trying to be reasonable? It´s Rihanna fans we are talking about! They have recently surpassed Beyonce fans as the worst and most delusional and pressed fanbase ever…
    Really hating for the looks…
    #sad
    Just like the talent of these basic girls

    • MY WEAVE IS LAID TO THE SIDE LIKE UNEMPLOYMENT December 1, 2012

      Basic b****** stan for other basic b******= rihtarts,hood-hive

    • Benron (Shine Bright Like Rihanna’s 100 million records sold plaque) December 1, 2012

      We are not hating, she really does not look good. I hate Beyonce but she looks good, she has a lot of curves. Rita looks very boyish and could honestly pass of for either gender depending on her hair style.

  20. FAF December 1, 2012

    lol are rihanna stans mad b/c rita w/ hardly any success can be in haper’s bazaar just like her ??? LOL

    I keep telling y’all these magazines see “promise” in stars & R**** is easily replaceable b/c she dresses/acts no different than your average 22/23 year-old except R**** is almost 25. KI !

    Don’t be surpised if she takes a break after her next 2 albums & u never hear from her again & the next sensation comes around, breaks all the same records in 1/2 the time ..

    ppl like Katy perry have 2-4 #1 singles off ONE album !

    12 is not that great ! In madonnas 20 yr career she has only 12

    Doubt if Rihanna gets any more… LOL LOL LOL

    • Nick December 1, 2012

      12 numbers 1’s and she’s only 24 years old that says a lot that she will be around for a long time! TRUST THAT.

    • MUSICMAKESMEHIGH!! December 1, 2012

      Imm need for YOUR F** ASS TO BUY THAT RATCHET BOTTLE OF THAT FLOP PERFUME THAT YOUR FAVE CANT SELL!! MY FAVE IS ON HER 3RD ONE KIII

  21. Blue December 1, 2012

    platinum world wide look at the united world chart and see that they specifically single out albums that have sold 2 million copies

  22. Nick December 1, 2012

    Rita now thinks she’s powerful please go away! your not on that level!
    my fave is making more money then Kanye, JayZ, Beyonce, and Diddy,
    rita could never do that.

    • RICHANDBLACK11(JUST LIKE OBAMA AND BEY) December 1, 2012

      I mean you can’t be serious

  23. MELODY2012 December 1, 2012

    How is she getting these magazine spreads? She is not cute…She is not selling….

  24. MELODY2012 December 1, 2012

    She is never going to be successful not because she lacks talent but because she is getting rewarded for flopping. It irks me that the Ciara’s, jojo’s, kelly’s and cher’s of these world do not get this much promo even though they are doing better. If they think this promo is to get her name out there, they are wrong this promo is working against her.

  25. MELODY2012 December 1, 2012

    1. How we do
    2. RIP
    3. Roc the life
    4. Shine ya light
    5. Radioactive

    All of the above singles failed to match the hype, when is Jay Brown pulling the plug. She is not it, she doesn’t have it

    • Nick December 1, 2012

      because she’s distracting them from doing it.

  26. MELODY2012 December 1, 2012

    Twilight didn’t get this much promo neither is harry porter. Roc Nation devouted all their budget to Rita, no album was released this year by that label. She is not a milk cow.

  27. HOTSTUFF December 1, 2012

    she looks like a dirty albanian man …..

  28. Fresto December 1, 2012

    I’m tired of the Powers that Be using Black Men to push a White standard of beauty on the black community.

    This is probably why lots of tribes in Africa (I.e. Ashanti) were matriarchal societies as the BLACK WOMEN set the norms, expectations, etc for the community.

    It was based on rites of passage, not just on what someone looks like. If a woman couldn’t do the norms of whether it was cooking, carrying water, beadwork it didn’t matter what she looked like, she would not be exalted. Looks played a part AFTER basic minimums were met .

    Now, thanks to Black Men and the Images they have been paid to promote you have Black women running aaround trying to achieve this look BEFORE putting anything in their head.

    WAKE UP BLACK WOMEN, its not about hating anyone it is about embracing who we are and saying F OFF to anyone who has a problem with it

  29. WizKey December 1, 2012

    Rita is 20x better looking than Frisbee head Rihanna and is way more talented. Rita everyday, all day.

    • MUSICMAKESMEHIGH!! December 1, 2012

      To bad her album and singles worldwide sales dont match her hype!!! lol!!!

  30. LoveYouMeanIt December 1, 2012

    You “people” are honestly getting so ridiculous at this point.
    If you hate Rita Ora so much, why do you feel the need to write
    paragraphs of her on blogs. She is clearly a beautiful woman,
    she just turned 22 and is already turning heads in the fashion industry
    and career wise. Have you seen Fashion Police? All high-end designers
    are begging her to were there dresses because she makes every single
    one of them look STUNNING. Her music is insanely catchy, and she’s already working on a second album. All this f****** Rihanna comparison b******* is the most annoying part about you little special ed m************. STOP. Just stop and sit the f*** down. She’s from the same label as Rihanna, she’s not trying to be her. She has her own fashion sense, and she’s young as hell. You guys just see their lives every mother fucken day because they are CELEBRITIES and you clown ass jealous b****** are S***. Let this girl slay, because she’s rising up wether you like it or not.
    Love you, mean it. <3

  31. Belladonna December 1, 2012

    At first I didn’t like her because of this site putting her up against Rihanna, but now I’m really starting to like her. I don’t think she dislikes Rihanna in anyway, she probably dances to her music just like the rest of the world does,but most importantly TGJ is the one that doesnt f*** with Rihanna( TGJ Rihanna is the new James Dean witch mean you need to want to have s** with women in some why ( bi or straght) to get why Rihanna is so BIG!) so i say why put that on Rita? So like I said I like her now! Good singer, Goood person, Wishing her the best.

    • EJR43 December 1, 2012

      What you said doesn’t even make sense. Not only are you a gross, disgusting q**** with gender and identity issues, but you’re also stupid. Seriously, just be quiet. Fruity idiot.

    • acem December 1, 2012

      BELLADONNA you probably just wanna wear that outfit she has on.

  32. Angela Wesley December 1, 2012

    You can tell when a gay man is jealous of a beautiful women. Rita nor
    Rihanna are ugly ladies. They both have their own style and look,
    For the Navy you are confused about the facts Rita had already made
    it .

    • MUSICMAKESMEHIGH!! December 1, 2012

      Um the only thing Rita bora is making is blue ivy’s bottles!!! she wont never get a hit!!! she will never be a world wide star!!!

  33. Dyllypickles December 1, 2012

    She looks HOT!

    Can’t wait for her US take over

    • MUSICMAKESMEHIGH!! December 1, 2012

      Welp you will be a old h** waiting on that!!!

  34. FavSLAYER December 1, 2012

    Rita Ora about 30 years old and RITA’S whole AURA LOOKS like RIHANNA!! Hair, lipstick! Style! B*TCH BYE!!
