Following Rita Ora on Instagram is an unintentional undertaking rife with soul-crushing moments of insecurity. I mean how in the hell are you supposed to feel good about yourself when British Barbie is parading around the world wearing haute off the runway looks you could only daydream of. I mean, the girl could make a garbage bag look like some couture confection.
So when the stylish songstress arrived with Tom Ford at the Met Gala last year, my heart skipped not one but two beats. But when she rocked the red carpet with Mr. Ford for a second time at the British Fashion Awards, I died. Time of death: 9:53 PM.
Ford and Ora are a match made in heaven. Ford's iconic sex kitten designs for YSL and Gucci shaped the landscape for contemporary fashion. Ora's outlandish outfits are a fashion girls' dream come to life. It only makes sense Ford would cherry-pick Rita Ora as his muse.
So in honor of the dynamic duo, I would kill to see Rita rock this show-stopping velvet and satin Tom Ford gown with metallic Barbie-pink Gucci sandals and a striped Edie Parker clutch. And even though I love to showcase a look for less when picking looks that cost 3 month's rent, I couldn't find anything that came close to these jaw-dropping picks.
Tom Ford gown, $4,995 (was $9,990) / Edie Parker clutch, $1,195 / Gucci sandals, $595
