Rita Ora: The New Material Girl

16 May

Rita Ora has been named as the new face of Madonna’s line, Material GIrl.

Reportedly the star has signed a £500,000 deal to take over from Georgia May Jagger. Obviosuly Rita’s new BFF, Cara Delevingne, must be passing on her ‘modelling ways’ to the singer.

According to the Telegraph Rita got the gig because Madonna’s 16-year-old daughter Lourdes, who has much creative control over the brand, is a big fan of the pop sensation.

The teenage brand is currently only available at Macy’s in the US, however the brand is set to expand in the UK this June.

Rita Ora’s predecessors as the face of Material Girl include Kelly Osbourne and Taylor Momsen.

Gwyneth Paltrow said a few things after the biggest night in fashion, The 2013 Met ball, that will surely get her uninvited to the Met Gala next year and many more years after that we suspect.
