Rita Ora Speaks on Comparisons to Rihanna & Taking Cues from Beyoncé in FLARE’s August ’14 Issue

From being described as a pop princess to being hot on the fashion scene – Rita Ora is definitely one to watch.

Currently on her World Domination tour, Rita juggles many hats with her upcoming acting debut in the much anticipated movie adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey as Christian Grey‘s sister Mia, her upcoming album with Jay Z’s Roc Nation/Columbia Records and her upcoming line of shoes with Adidas. She has definitely got her hands full.

As their August 2014 cover girl, Canadian magazine – Flare – had a brief chat with the 23 year old on all things that make Rita tick. From being “the queen of (eye) bags” and taking cues from Beyoncé to her “obsession” with makeup and being compared to Rihanna, Rita said it all.

Read excerpts.

On being compared to Rihanna
There’s always competition. I definitely feel it. I thrive off of it. I love it. I don’t look at it as a competition, I look at it as a form of energy.

That’s crazy. She looks gorgeous! It’s a good time for her, she’s an adult. I think starting out, you just have to time it right, when you’re ready to be yourself.

On Modelling her Career after Beyoncé’s
Beyoncé built her f–king foundation from the bottom. I think that’s the exact career every female artist wants to have.
