Rita Ora may have a variety of career titles—singer, songwriter, actress, model—but the one that has resonated most with Ora's increasing popularity over the past year or so is style icon. One of the latest "IT" girls to emerge from Great Britain, Ora's wild and crazy looks have landed her campaigns with Madonna's Material Girl line (and possibly Roberto Cavalli), collaborations with Adidas and Rimmel London, and friendships with some of the industry's biggest names—Cara Delevingne, Rihanna, Donna Karan, and even Kate Moss. It may be hard to understand how a singer with only four released singles has become one of fashion's biggest names, but then again, her brightly colored, outrageous style may not need any explanation.
