Jay-Z protegé Rita Ora may be a new voice on the charts, but the British singer pulled a veteran move when she enlisted a well-known fashion designer to create the costumes for her first UK tour.
Ora will wear a range of outfits re-interpreted from Pucci’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection on her Radioactive Tour, which kicked off Manchester, England on Monday.
How exactly did the up-and-comer snag fresh off the runway looks for her big moment? The “Hot Right Now” singer — who counts Gwen Stefani among her biggest fashion influences — and Pucci creative designer Peter Dundas hit it off when they met at Bergdorf Goodman’s 111th anniversary party last October, and their creative partnership began soon after.
“From the moment I met Rita we’ve had a great connection and doing something like this together felt like only a natural progression,” Dundas said in a statement released by Pucci. ”The costumes have impact and flamboyance in a way that feels personal to Rita whilst staying true to the Emilio Pucci aesthetic.”

Is Rita Ora a fashion copycat? In the past, fashion bloggers have accused the British singer of taking style cues from Rihanna, and her appearance on the red carpet at last night’s MTV European Music Awards didn’t help disprove the theory. (Nor did the fact that she worked an umbrella — ella, ella — into her performance.)
While Ora made a dramatic entrance in Marchesa’s blood embroidered illusion dress, her look echoed the vision of Rihanna in a sheer crimson Elie Saab gown at the 2010 American Music Awards.
To be fair, many A-list ladies have chosen to wear the fiery color on the carpet this year. Still, we have to ask; Rita or RiRi, who looked hotter in red? Cast your vote in the poll below.
