Rita Ora is at the Met Gala and she understood the ᴀssignment! The singer/icon/Who? Weekly favorite arrived in a nearly naked Marni look consisting of ɴuᴅᴇ shapewear with a beaded piece draped over the top. TBD on the inspiration, but love to see something so original walk down the red carpet so no complaints here!
Back in ye olden days of 2021, Rita spoke to Fashion Week Daily about her style icons, saying, “Cher, Madonna, Diana Ross, and Gwen Stefani have all been huge inspirations in my life. They’re such powerful women who all have a unique point of view when it comes to fashion. Kate Moss is another style icon of mine; she is the epitome of British fashion.”
She took an extra moment to shout out Madonna, saying, “Madonna’s whole existence! She is such a badᴀss. When I was younger, I was into making my own outfits and I would go digging in flea markets to find the perfect pieces. That’s probably my earliest fashion memory.”
She also chatted about the inspiration the 1960s has on her style (which comes through here, IMO!), saying, “There was so much variety during that era and so many iconic fashion moments. From Diana Ross and the Supremes to Twiggy and Jackie O, that decade had it all.”
Welp. As usual, she’s an icon, she’s a legend, and she IS the moment.
