Last night, Rita Ora appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to talk about the epic night she had at the 2019 Met Gala, which took place this Monday. The "Body On Me" singer attended the event with designer Marc Jacobs, alongside rapper Lizzo and model Kate Moss, and wore a gold sequined plunging gown. "I'm still hungover!" She told Fallon as she laughed, explaining how the night continued for her after the Met.

She joked about drinking, and hitting on the "handsome" waiters with, Lizzo (her "date"), as well as feeling "bougie and posh" hanging out with Kate Moss and Marc Jacobs, before going on to give -quite the impressive - reenactment of Cher's performance (with Jimmy helping her out on the background vocals). She joked about feeling like she dressed "too casually" going for the "old glam look" compared to Lizzo's hot pink feather moment. "I looked around and I was like Jeez, I should just set my hair on fire or something." The British singer was one of many who attended this week's star-studded Met Gala, including names like Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, 21 Savage, Frank Ocean, and Anderson .Paak, who all showed UP with their outfits.<doc-sep>Camp, by definition, is big, bold, exuberant, extra. In accordance with this year's Met Gala 2019 theme, Rita Ora was gilded in Marc Jacobs gold, and adorned in 280 carats worth of Lorraine Schwartz bling. Count it up. Ora gave us an exclusive look at her Met Gala prep, from her ode to old Hollywood glamour via stencil-thin brows, to the pre-carpet chat with her date for the evening, Kate Moss.<doc-sep>Rita Ora looked like an Old Hollywood screen siren at the 2019 “Camp: Notes on Fashion”-themed Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Monday, May 6. To complement the songstress’ golden goddess Marc Jacobs gown and platinum blond coif, makeup artist Kathy Jeung dreamed up an ultra-glam 1930s-inspired beauty look complete with bleached brows, a sexy smokey eye and fiercely sculpted complexion, and she’s giving Us a behind-the-scenes look at how it all came together! “My inspiration for the look was Rita’s gold sequined dress by Marc Jacobs Couture,” she tells Us. “It inspired me to give Rita a 1930s screen goddess look: thin eyebrows, deep contours on the eyes with metallic shimmer on lids, satin-finish bronzed skin and lips lightly lined with a shimmery nude gloss.” Fully embracing the vintage movie star vibes, Ora was game to bleach her naturally dark eyebrows to match her skin tone so thin new ones more befitting of the era could be drawn on top, but Jeung admits it took some time to get the shade just right. “The bleaching of Rita’s the eyebrows took a really long time — almost two hours,” she shares. “Since she has dark, thick eyebrows, the process involves the brows turning orange, then bright yellow, then, finally, the skin-like color we hoped to achieve.” From there, it took the pro about an hour to complete the look, and she says the glam squad (which also included hairstylist Brent Lawler and manicurist Naomi Yasuda) got to work while listening to music from the 1920s, 30s and 40s to get in the mood. Using a combination of Nanacoco and Rimmel London cosmetics, Jeung tells Us the super skinny arches and dramatic contour were the keys to ensuring the makeup felt appropriately vintage. “The eyebrow was the biggest focal point and most striking of the look. It was it was important to have two things — bleach and a micro-thin eyebrow pencil like the Nanacoco Browstylers Micro Pencil in Dark Brown,” she explains. Also a must? Products that could sculpt those fierce cheekbones (not that Ora needed that much in that department). “It was important to have a lot of dramatic lines on the face — not just the brows,” she says. “Contour was big during the 1920s and 30s. To achieve that I relied on the Nanacoco Contouring & Strobing Palette in Medium.” For that glittering smokey eye, Jeung first covered her lids in the Nanacoco Eyelusive Eyeshadow Pencil in In The Night (black) and Golden Globes (brown) before layering the brand’s Eyeshadow Quad Palette in Autumn and Elegant on top. The Longwear Eye Liner in Gold provided a nice a complement to her shimmering dress, while the Glitzn Face & Body Pigment in Orange Gold and Copper provided additional sparkle. A high-contrast glossy neutral lip completed the Old Hollywood look. After lining the pout with the Nanacoco Outlast Lip Liner in Burgundy for “a more dramatic, defined shape,” she filled it in with a mixture of the Rimmel London Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner in Addiction and the Rimmel London Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in Bare Minimum. Last but not least, the Nanacoco Shimmertallics Metallic Lip Gloss in Sunkissed provided one more dose of shimmer. “I love doing Met Gala with Rita,” Jeung says. “It’s kind of like a tradition to do another one. It was our sixth together.”<doc-sep>Two of Britain's biggest stars showed up to the Met Gala 2019 this week. Dua Lipa and Rita Ora ornamented the red carpet with individualistically beautiful looks. While Dua opted for a high bun and an extravagant colorful attire designed by Versace, Ora stunned with a gold sequined dress blessed by Marc Jacobs. The two stars looked equally stunning but were reported to have purposely avoided each other throughout the entire soiree. The latter is said to have occurred due to an on-going feud between the Brit starlets over constantly being compared to one another. The feud is reported to have reached a boiling point as Lipa affirmed she'd like to be considered a unique artist. According to the Daily Mail, a source told the Sun "It’s a shame, as they used to be very close and Dua spoke a lot about how much she admired Rita. Dua even said she wanted to be just like Rita in the future." While Rita remains "desperate to avoid confrontation" as the 28-year old crooner despises drama, Dua Lipa has attempted to distance herself from Rita Ora and is apparently making it obvious. Evidently, the two are best avoiding each other for now, but we do hope things settle down soon. [Via]<doc-sep>
Rita Ora‘s style isn’t exactly subtle. The British pop star, 28, is known for dressing in impossibly dramatic and complicated looks on a day to day basis. So, one might presume that the “Camp: Notes on Fashion”-themed 2019 Met Gala would serve as the perfect opportunity for her to really go over the top with her outfit. But while Katy Perry decided to dress up as a chandelier and Zendaya cosplayed Cinderella, the “Let Me Love You” singer showed up on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in a golden Marc Jacobs gown that channeled beautiful Old Hollywood glamour. And for once, Ora told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” she regretted going for such a tame style. “It was cool because everyone was, like, totally dressed up, and I felt really normally dressed for once in my life,” Ora said. “I looked around and I was like, ‘Geez, I should just set my hair on fire or something. '” The theme, derived from Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay on the topic, was meant to celebrate “a love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration” and “the spirit of extravagance,” as the author once wrote. Ora attended as a guest of Jacobs along with Kate Moss, who also wore a quietly elegant gown, and singer Lizzo, who personified camp in a pink feathered cape and bathing cap. Other red carpet highlights included Billy Porter, who arrived dressed as a pharaoh and was carried in by six shirtless men, Ezra Miller, who had seven eyes and wore a corset and Jared Leto, who toted a perfect replica of his own head. Perhaps Rita Ora’s decision to dress down was actually the campiest choice of all.
