Rita Ora was crowned Best Newcomer for 2012.
Considering the majority of the comments on her posts hadn’t been very complementary, with most accusing Rita of copying Rihanna’s style, I must say this comes as a huge shock.
The British singer, who is not afraid to take fashion risks and known for her blonde tresses and signature red lippie à la Gwen Stefani, has supported mostly British designers like Julien MacDonald, Stella McCartney, McQ by Alexander McQueen, House of Holland and Vivienne Westwood.
Other designer favourites include Marchesa, Mugler and Stephane Rolland for her dramatic music awards looks; plus, Emilio Pucci and Alexandre Vauthier have provided her with something uber hot for when she wants to take the sexy route.
While I continue to be shocked by this result, I am happy that she ditched the sneakers which she wore with most dresses earlier on in the year. It was so Lily Allen circa 2006.

I’m shocked too. Her Vivienne Westwood and Emilio Pucci looks were stunning, but I can’t say the same about the majority of her looks.
I voted for Bella Heathcote. Who was your best newcomer, FC?
Emilia Clark
+2
Emilia Clarke got my vote too, after the Emmys how could she not? Really shocked that Rita Ora won.
Same here.
Same here! I really thought she will make it!
Just NO!
It is a no from me too Alina. With the likes of Emilia Clarke and Allison Williams, Rita just does not cut it imo, at all!!!
+ 2! Pretty much everyone else in the category was better I think
You’re not kidding! Allison Williams was my vote, but seriously, anyone OVER Rita IMO
“Pretty much everyone else in the category was better I think” – I know right?? can’t believe she won this category.
I love Rita’s style so very much
I think she makes red carpets more fun and interesting!
wow, I can’t believe that she won this! my favorites were Emilia Clarke and Cody Horne!
To say I am confused would be an understatement. Hmmmm o_O
I was relieved to see that most of the comments express my state of mind. Rita Ora? no way. I think it’s because her last looks were the better ones (VV Westwood, Calvin Klein) so people remembered her otherwise there was no way. Especially between : Emilia Clarke, Krysten Ritter (she’s been there for a while but is new on the RC), and co.
Oh no!
I have liked many of Rita’s looks from the neck down but, sad to say, that hair and shoveled-on make-up make everything she puts on look cheap and trashy.
(For me it was a toss-up between Emilia Clark and Bella Heathcote.)
While I don’t like most of her looks and shocked too by her being voted best new comer, I don’t see the Rihanna comparisons at all. From what I’ve heard Rita has always had the same look for years, meanwhile Rihanna’s look changes with every new album she releases. Rita’s look needs some serious polish.
I really dislike Rita’s style. Allison Williams, Bella Heathcote, and Emilia Clarke were all more deserving imo.
How did Emilia Clarke lose?!?
Far too much reliance on one designer, namely Chanel, and her shoe choices were often boring.
I hate the hair!! Makes the rest of her outfits look cheap.
Flabbergasted at this result. One or two fans must have been voting repeatedly. Until she improves her hair and make-up I’ll continue to be mostly indifferent to her looks.
I voted for Krysten Ritter.
i actualyl love her style too
I went with Bella Heathcote. I didn’t love every choice she made, but she always took risks, and many of her shoe choices were gorgeous. All of the photos of Rita Ora above are fantastic, but I must agree with others on the appreciation of her from “the neck down”.
Hm, shocking.
Who was voting for Rita?, she is sexy looking, but i don’t like her style at all its like she still has to come into her own…
