The whole world is paying tribute to the magic that was Prince. 

And since Rita Ora had some fond memories of recording a song with the musician, she took to social media to write about him:

But a few minutes later, Lily Allen decided to butt in with a really insensitive tweet: 

Yep, "pics or it never happened."

Obviously, fans from all around the world blasted the singer for her comment, so Lily tried to clear everything up.

She said: "I didn't mean that in a mean way. I'm just jealous you were so close to my idol."

But fans still weren't happy and shamed her. One Twitter user said, "If he was your idol then you would know that Rita had a song with him on his last album."

We have to agree, we think Lily was way out of line there.

So we're wondering; since when did fetish-associated rubber become an acceptable fabric to wear on a night out? 

While Kim has been donning the latex dress for years, more celebrities including her younger sister Kylie are taking to the daring trend and it seems that the shiny, figure-hugging latex dress is having a bit of a moment. 

While we could only dream of being able to pull one off (it's well-known that latex sticks to every lump and bump), the sheer thought of trying to squeeze ourselves into the slippery, sweaty fabric is giving us nightmares Ross from Friends could only dream of. 

But the celebs are doing and they are killing it, but seriously how easy is it to wear? 

"It’s not a breathable material," says the so-called Baroness, a New York lady who runs a latex clothing store. 

"So the moisture that your body produces all the time will accumulate."

Okay so it's sweaty, but according to the Baroness, wearing latex is ALL about the attitude. 

"People should say 'I can wear this' as opposed to ‘I can cram my fat ass into this,' " she says to Racked magazine. 

"People have a narrow conception of what [latex is] like. It’s really whatever you want.

"[If] it’s a special night, you have some champagne, you lay your clothes out, you put on the garment, you shine yourself up, you know, really enjoy it…because latex can really transform you."

Fair enough.

If you reckon you have got what it takes to pull off a latex look, there are a few options to peruse on Asos.

Rita Ora may be known for her daring and sometimes questionable taste in fashion but she is also no scaredy-cat when it comes to showing off skin. 

So this topless magazine cover will probably not come as much as a shock. 

Except, perhaps for the fact that she has her nips out intentionally rather than accidentally (yeah, we went there). 

Rita graces the cover of adult entertainment publication Lui Magazine, the very magazine that Rihanna also unleashed her nips for. 

Donning her signature red lip and Marilyn Monroe hair, we have to admit that she looks amazing (you can see an uncensored version of the snap on Lui's Twitter). 

However, the cover is already gaining some controversy not over the photo but rather over who took the photo. 

The snap was taken by photographer Terry Richardson, the fashion photographer who has previously been subject to some seriously shady accusations. 

He came under scrutiny after he was accused of coercing models into uncomfortable sexual positions and encouraging women to engage in sexual acts with him. 

While the jury is still out on Terry, this snap does make Rita look suitably stun.

Anyone who watches Keeping Up With The Kardashians knows that Kim has a rather tough love approach to her brother Rob. 

But, in the most recent episode of the reality series, Kimmy made a fairly harsh comment about her brother. 

In the episode, which was filmed while on a family holiday to St. Barths, Kim, Kris and Kylie start a conversation about Rob, and Kim begins to mock one of his tattoos. 

She talked about how he got his a tattoo showing the face of his ex-girlfriend, Adrienne Bailon, covered with an image of Rita Ora – who is now an ex-girlfriend too. 

"He covered it with a life-sized Barbie doll of Rita that has now turned into a Cabbage Patch Doll," Kim joked.

"Have you seen it lately? It was like a Barbie doll and he's gained weight and it’s like a huge Cabbage Patch Kid. Huge!"

We know she's into tough love, but we're thinking that comment might have been a little bit too harsh. After all, we're all aware of how he is struggling with his weight and won't appear on the reality series anymore.

Now, we can really understand why.

While it seems that Rita Ora has been around forever, she has only in fact ever released one album and that was back when she burst on the scene in 2012. 

And now, she seems to be filling her time as a judge on popular talent contest shows such as The Voice UK and the X Factor. 

However, we may now have a reason as to why she does not seem to be doing much on the music stakes. 

According to Billboard magazine, it has been reported today that Rita has just filed a lawsuit against her label Roc Nation over claims that they are "stifling her career." 

Rita, who is in contract with Jay-Z's label until 2019, says that the company is sitting on a number of tracks that are yet to be released. 

In the suit, Rita claims to have been "orphaned" by the label after they turned their primary interests from music management to sports management. 

"When Rita signed, Roc Nation and its senior executives were very involved with her as an artist,” the complaint reads.

“As Roc Nation’s interests diversified, there were fewer resources available and the company suffered a revolving door of executives. Rita’s remaining supporters at the label left or moved on to other activities, to the point where she no longer had a relationship with anyone at the company."

While Rita is waiting to be able to release her US debut album which is apparently ready to go, she is funding all of her own projects, TV performances and shows. 

We hope this all gets sorted out so we can get some more of her catchy pop tunes on the air asap.

If there's ever a woman to push style boundaries, it's Rita Ora. 

Turning heads as she stepped out in Notting Hill in London, Rita debuted a drastic new haircut. Gone are her long blonde locks and instead the singer is rocking a short pixie cut. 

The rest of her look was quite casual, wearing a leather jacket, a grey hoodie and boyfriend jeans as she made her way to Pizza Express. 

Following her low-key night out, The X Factor judge posted a selfie on Instagram to show off her new do'. 

 

Hmmmmm what to watch while I'm on voice rest….

Plunging necklines, barely-there lace and THAT tailored tux… last night's British Fashion Awards has left us with some serious wardrobe lust.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Victoria Beckham, Anna Wintour, Rita Ora and Lady Gaga were just some of the stars who took to the red carpet in London for the prestigious awards show.

Being one of the most elite fashion events of the year, it's no surprise that the awards night style was totally on point, and there were a few looks that totally blew us away.

Here's a round-up of our absolute faves.

Victoria Beckham
Proving she can still turn heads on the red carpet with the best of them, VB looked incredible in a sleek tailored tuxedo with silk detailing.

 

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini
The thigh-high boots might not be to everyone's taste, but Cheryl got it so right with this sheer lace dress.

 

Mollie King
An unexpected style hitter last night, Mollie wowed in monochrome (as did the gorgeous David Gandy).

 

Angela Scanlon
Stylist Angela worked a Charlotte Olympia dress… and THOSE River Island shoes. Win. 

 

Jourdan Dunn
Another monochrome wonder, this halter-necked dress is perfect for Jourdan's slender figure.

 

Lily Allen
Lily's petrol-blue lace dress matches her hair to a T – and we love that boxy Chanel handbag. Though she did don a VERY questionable blue raincoat later in the night.

 

Pixie Lott
Definitely a revealing choice, but Pixie pulls it off. Bonus points for the rose gold hair *swoon*

 

Rita Ora
The X Factor judge was a vision in velvet, with silver button detailing on her high-necked dress. Love.

 

Rosie Huntington-Whitely
What would a red carpet be without Rosie in a plunging dress? A safe look for the model, but it works.

She's been under a lot of pressure recently. Indeed, Lauren Murray even removed herself from the X Factor contestants' house – citing the constant presence of cameras as her reason.

"I felt like I could never relax. It's intense," the 26-year-old said in the aftermath.

But despite the change in living arrangements, it seems that Ms Murray is still a little on edge.

Indeed, video footage from the weekend appears to show that she SHOVED a fellow contestant on stage. Ouch.

Eagle-eyed viewers took to Twitter following the incident – in which Lauren can be seen shunning the embrace of a member of 4th Impact as the public vote was announced.

The solo star, who is being mentored by Rita Ora, also appeared agitated and upset at the time. 

Understandably, plenty of fans of the show were unimpressed with her behaviour – with several suggesting that the Essex-native had gotten too big for her boots.

Many also claimed to have seen Lauren say "get the f**k off me" at the same time.

Though at least the girlband in question were more than happy to brush off the apparent snub; after last night's show 4th Impact tweeted that Lauren was like a "big sister" – making sure to include plenty of heart emojiis in their message too. 

Meanwhile, Ms Murray herself also took to the same social media platform to downplay the situation. Confirming that she "adored" her rivals, she added that people just "love a bit of drama".

It's official. Beachy blondes are out and cool platinum tones are in.

Instead of trying to emulate sunkissed golden hues when the Irish summer lasted all of five seconds, why not embrace winter and go for an all-over icy blonde?

Jennifer Lawrence stunned on the red carpet this month as she unveiled her new blonde 'do, but she is just one of a long list of stars embracing the high-maintenance colour change this year. 

Here are the girls who did it right. Could you join the pack? 

Jennifer Lawrence 

Bye-bye brunette Katniss. Jen said goodbye to her work on The Hunger Games by totally changing up her look, opting for a new platinum shade instead of her usual sandy blonde.

Caroline Flack 

 

Thank you @gemflossy for making funny wonky face not as wonky as normal

Halfway through this year's X Factor, Caroline surprised us with a peroxide blonde 'do. Posting pictures of herself in the hair salon, she described the look as "fully fledged non rooted blonde."

Considering a copycat look? Head to the salon. As the style requires an all over intense bleach rather than just highlights, going to a professional will ensure your hair stays in tip top condition. 

Rita Ora 

Rita's trademark has always been her platinum blonde hair and a red lip, but even so she has often embraced her natural dark roots as part of her look.

This year, however, she ditched the dark tones and chose an all-over intense blonde.

Naomi Watts 

Naomi debuted this very high fashion look at the Armani Privé show in Paris this summer, giving up her natural highlights for a striking peroxide finish.

Michelle Williams

Michelle always favoured blonde tresses, but when she stepped out with this intense almost white blonde shade back in May, we absolutely fell in love. 

Kim Kardashian 

How could we forget the shocking, albeit short lived, hair transformation of Kim K earlier this year? Arguably the look that started it all, we definitely lost our minds over this drastic change.

OK, so the ratings haven't been as impressive for Cowell & Co recently. AND sure we know it's probably all fixed from the outset, but we still love the X Factor.

Apart from having an excuse to stuff our faces and sit on the couch every Saturday night, we also love all the behind the scenes gossip (in fact, that's arguably a lot more entertaining than what's going on on stage). 

And following the swift exit of Kiera Weathers and Seann Miley Moore over recent weekends, it has now been reported that Lauren Murray had also left the contestants' house. 

Though she is still a part of the competition itself, Lauren has packed her bags and departed from the swanky pad. 

The 26 year old told The Mirror that she found living in the house too "intense" (although we're wondering how living in a luxury London mansion can be too intense). 

"I found the filming the hardest to deal with," said Rita Ora's girl. "The camera is there when you wake up, it's there when you go to sleep. I felt like I could never relax. It's intense."

Lauren went on to describe living in the house as "Big Brother meets Glee meets prison". Well, nope, that does not sound fun. 

The singer went on to discuss how she found the six-chair challenge particularly demanding. 

"I was drained. I definitely think they should get rid of six-chair challenge. I found it horrific. But they won't – it's too good TV. Imagine if I had fainted. Someone would have got a bonus!"

Yikes!

We applaud Lauren for her candid honesty but we're not sure how much longer she will last if she keeps criticising the nature of the show? Watch out girl!

Poor Rita. The pop starlet tends to get a lot of flack over her fashion choices, but perhaps this one is justified. The I Will Never Let You Down singer took to the X Factor stage last night seemingly having forgotten to dress her bottom half. Yikes. 

Yes, audiences got more than they bargained for when the star donned a SUPER short and not so easy on the eye blazer along with a new fringe and bright green eye shadow. 

Twitter went into a spin and quickly blasted the singers look but Rita should be used to this by now, her daring and divisive fashion sense is often the source of ridicule. 

However, in this case she is not the only celeb to rock a trouser-less look. Here, SHEmazing! documents the culprits…

 

1) Miley Cyrus 

Miley debuted this look on the eve of her dramatic transformation into twerking, tongue out, wrecking ball Miley. Though we think her hair and make up is flawless (and those shoes are to DIE for), she was definitely pre-empting her outrageous fashion choices by wearing a blazer and literally nothing else. The gold body chains and stripped back accessories are a nice touch to the outfit but nothing can overcome the fact that she is wearing absolutely no trousers you guys. 

 

2) Rihanna 

We know Rihanna is a mad dresser and that is kind of why we love her. This velvet blazer ensemble manages to preserve some of her dignity by wearing tights but still not much is left to the imagination (as usual). The fringed bag and diamond choker definitely adds to the drama but overall we can't place this as one of her better looks. We are not sure if even a pair of trousers could have saved it. 

 

3) Roz Purcell 

Even the Irish are not immune to the occasional foregoing of pants but it definitely helps if you happen to be a genetically gifted super model. We totally want this eye pooping glitter number for party season but sorry Roz, we will be throwing a skirt on. 

 

4) Kendall Jenner 

Legs for days. Kendall arrived at her destination sporting a Yeezus Tour jumper (a gift from Kanye perhaps?) and… well that's it really.Taking casual chic to a new level, with legs like that we can hardly blame her. Just don't bend over, Ken. 

 

5) Charlotte Crosby 

We know this Geordie lass is a bit crazy (she jumped into a pool with a potted plant in the latest season of Geordie Shore folks) but wearing a shirt without a pair of bottoms surely tops the list? No? Okay maybe not, but this image from the campaign of her fashion line sure crosses the boundary into dodgy. She is one pesky gust of wind away from full exposure but we guess that this shameless celeb does not have much to hide. 

 

6) Solange Knowles

Okay, we know that this lady is seriously stylish and if any celeb has gotten close to undoubtedly pulling off the trouser-less look, it's her. Solange pairs a white shirt with a white waistcoat and forgoes trousers simply pairing her ensemble with a red lip, barely there stilettoes and her trademark fro'. However, we are still a bit traumatised by the length of this look and not quite sure how she managed to sit down. A pair of matching white short shorts may have been the perfect finish to this nearly there ensemble.

He's in the notoriously tricky Overs category – not to mention that he doesn't get a whole load of love from the X Factor judges either. 

But it seems that the wider public is really getting behind Anton Stephens: leaked figures show almost a quarter of voters (23 percent) gave him the nod a week ago – meaning he beat bookies favourite Louisa Johnson (13 percent) by almost two-to-one.

Still, his most recent offering prompted the four-strong judging panel to throw a load of negative comments in his direction.

Indeed, Mr Stephens, who is being mentored by Simon Cowell, has now admitted even he wasn't a fan of the performance.

On the Xtra Factor the singer, who sang a mash of Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass and Jessie J’s Bang Bang, explained: "I hated it. When I watched it back I just thought, 'Oh My God'.

"All that gold, and very little of me!"

And speaking about the song choices, Anton described singing them as like "wearing shoes that aren’t your size".

Nick Grimshaw had earlier stated that the staging as "like watching a really bad musical". "Those two songs are the worst songs you could have done," he added.

The same figures, obtained by The Daily Star On Sunday and collected on October 31, show that Seann Miley Moore made it into third place – just 1 percent behind Louisa.

However, despite this initial popularity, shockingly he went home last night as part of double-elimination special.
