With London Collections: Men just finished, there were a few collections that shone out far and above the others. Katie Eary being one of them, with her signature prints taken to new levels by featuring a rather fabulous flamingo in a pink wig (stay tuned for more on this collection). I know, crazy, but it WORKS.Much like Rita Ora. Her wardrobe is crazy, but it works. And this Katie Eary ensemble which the songstress wore on Tuesday for the launch of Xperia Acess in London, made a lot of sense. The blouse and skirt all matched (more of that matchy matchy thing going on), and with big, blonde wavy locks, Rita looked uber glam, in a 90s Versace kinda way.When Rita first burst onto the scene, I wasn't sure where she stood, sartorially. Was she trying to be Rihanna? Was she emulating Gaga? The answer is, of course, she's just being Rita.Anyway, here's what some blogger mates thought of this look...
***Ella from Coco's Tea Party***
I find Rita Ora's style quite hit and miss, but absolutely love this Katie Eary skirt and blouse combo. It makes a bold Versace-esque statement and is also pretty sexy, in a non-obvious way. Rita's accessories are spot on too - the Louboutin gold heels add just the right amount of bling and it was a smart move to ditch a fussy clutch bag in favour of pockets!
We’ve had Rita on the cover of Notion magazine before and I know she’s a barrel of fun. But it’s really nice to see her moving away from that neon bobble hat look and move to something a bit more sophis. Even though Katie Eary’s epic prints can sometimes be overwhelming, by accessorising with glam hair and simple heels, Rita proves that she’s totes hot right now. Yes I went there. Now if only she was smiling!
***Laetitia from Mademoiselle Robot***
I am not a massive fan of Rita Ora's style, and I think in this outfit she sort of looks like she fell in Donatella Versace's aquarium, but for some reason it works. She looks a little more polished than usual and I suppose she does pull it off!
***And moi...***
Seb, you're so so right, Rita is HOT RIGHT NOW. This just... works! It's sophisticated glam, but uber fashion all at the same time. The mini is perfect length, and a long sleeve blouse just screams POWER. I'm all for this super luxe matchy matchy print. Rita, Katie is very good for you. YES.
