Style Envy: Rita Ora

In less than a year, Rita Ora has captivated the music and fashion industries with her (incredibly) catchy music and offbeat personal style. She's constantly pitted against Rihanna, probably down to the fact that they belong to the same management, but it's quite nice to see someone flying the flag for Britain. I got a little bit sick of Rihanna in recent months so Miss Ora is filling the gap quite nicely: from her kooky street style candids to slick red-carpet appearances, she's definitely taken over in the style-envy stakes.



From Roberto Cavalli two-piece suits to head-to-toe  House of Holland ensembles, Ora isn't afraid to mix things up in the style-stakes; her signature Marilyn Monroe curls and dark-red lippy makes each look edgy and though I hate this word, current.  Her best looks have to be the white Mugler dress and floral McQ Alexander McQueen number (above) from recent red-carpet appearances; opposed to the conveyor of dodgy prom-dress actresses we're so used to, Ora's given the red-carpet a much needed overhaul. 

When Rita stepped out in New York in a pair of tartan J.W Anderson x Topshop Trousers  last month, they sold out and she was recently spotted in another 90s inspired ensemble, tartan and all...

I'm a bit of a sucker for hats so these Zephyr Hats and Madeleine Thompson pieces are right up there on my wish list this Christmas. Who is your style crush at the moment and will you be donning a beanie à la Rita Ora this Winter?
