Rita Ora: New Face of Madonna’s Material Girl Clothing Brand
The Material Girl clothing brand, which is owned by Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, will have a Rita Ora to model for their clothing line. The Albanian-British singer and songwriter, Rita Ora confirmed on Twitter that she will be the new face of Material Girl.
“Joining forces with Madonna and Lola,’ she Tweeted. ‘It’s official Ritabots – I’m the new face of Material Girl!”
Rumours regarding the Rita/Madonna relationship started when Rita Ora decided to get involved with the line last month. According to the fashion press, it was Lourdes that influenced her mother’s decision to take on the 22 year old as Lourdes has always been a huge fan of Rita. However, being the shrewed business woman Madonna is, the final decision was made when she met Rita Ora at the Met Ball in New York and “admired her attitude’. The rest is history!
It is still speculation yet, but it is thought that Madonna has paid the singer £500,000 for the deal. Currently the face of Superga, Rita Ora is certainly adding a list of fashion contracts. It will be only a matter of time before other brands decide they want a piece of Rita Ora’s style and beauty.
So why has Rita Ora been chosen to be the face of the Material Girl brand? When you look at Rita Ora, you can see why. The platinum blonde hair for one is what we remember Madonna touting back in the 80’s with her Material Girl hit single. However, it has been reported that it isn’t Madonna or even Rihanna, that has inspired this urban meets glamourpuss fashion. The lady herself has been adamant in saying that her true style icon is No Doubt front woman Gwen Stefani.
In a recent interview Rita Ora reveled that it was Gwen’s style that gave her the courage to wear red lipstick. It is true that Rita Ora’s style is very much similar to Gwen’s ninties look, with the leopard print, crop tops and beanie hats, however although Rita is quite relaxed when it comes to fashion she can also scrub up well for the red carpet. For the MTV Europe Music Awards 2012 she arrived in a sophisticated red Marchesa frock.
What do you think of Rita Ora being the face of Material Girl’s? Think she is right?
