Doesn’t it seem like Rita Ora has been everywhere, lately? From the two covers she scored at Teen Vogue to her upcoming design collab with Adidas, the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer is on FIRE. Her latest attempt at further ruling the world? Steaming up the December cover of Cosmopolitan.

Cosmopolitan

Can you handle how fierce she looks in that embellished, high-cut one piece? Combined with her sparkly jacket, we might have to take a hot minute to rest our eyes. Rita is practically the definition of WERK on this cover, and that’s being modest.

Her interview is equally as good as her pictures, if you can believe it. The British pop diva gets super candid about, well. pretty much everything–including her body.

Cosmopolitan

“You have to come to terms with loving your body,” she told the mag. “Stand naked in front of the mirror and say, ‘I’m f******* sexy.’ That’s where it starts.”

Dang. That’s some straight up Taylor Swift-style honesty if we’ve ever heard it. Then again, if we looked like Rita does in a slit-up-to-there blue velvet dress (translation: ABSOLUTELY TO DIE FOR), we’d probably be saying that in front of the mirror all the time. Like, every second. Maybe even every half second, if we’re really being honest.

Between Rita’s ridiculous amount of badass confidence and the incredible pieces she’s wearing in Cosmo‘s picture-perfect spread, this might be the best ...

Instead of spending yet another year as a sexy cat, hot nurse, or the “Wrecking Ball” in your best friend’s Miley Cyrus costume (I mean, AT LEAST be the sledgehammer, jeez), makeup artist extraordinaire Peirce Kea has a few ideas that’ll take you from “Halloween blah” to “Halloween HOLY SH*T.” Peirce goes *in* on the colorful Cleopatra makeup Katy Perry rocked in her “Dark Horse” video, the pasty-chic face of everyone’s favorite District One citizen from The Hunger Games‘ Effie Trinket, and lastly the classic Halloween staple of a blood-thirsty zombie (Daryl from The Walking Dead not included, sadly).

Even if just reading the word “Sephora” makes you break out in a nervous sweat, or if the thought of having to give yourself a cat eye with liquid liner sounds scarier than having Jason Vorhees chasing you around Camp Crystal Lake, fear not, young makeup Jedi. Peirce’s helpful step-by-step instructions can work for anyone. Watch the video and kiss your drab Halloween costume goodbye, and say hello to being the Halloween Kween.

Lauren Conrad, former HBIC of The Hills and golden haired kween, took a break from basking in her newlywed glo and uploading the most perfect Instagram pics we’ve ever seen to so graciously give us all an early Christmas gift: some fresh winter-themed ensembles for her LC Lauren Conrad collection for Kohl’s. While I previously wasn’t aware LC even knew what winter was since she seems to spend her days perpetually drenched in California sunlight, the new, affordable looks she’s put together for the upcoming chilly months are actually perfection. Four for you, LC! You go, LC!

Her recent additions are exactly the kind of feminine, Pinterest-ready (and #blessed) looks we’ve come to expect from Miss Conrad (oops, Mrs. Tell!) and include every possible outfit you’ll need to straight up rule the holiday season, from glittery snowflake sweaters to a bejeweled crop top-tulle skirt combo that’s practically begging to be worn on New Year’s Eve. Head on over to Kohl’s to take a peek at the rest of LC’s new must-haves, and may God be with your wallet.

By now we’re all well aware of the fact that British pop star Rita Ora isn’t afraid to make some bold statements on (and off!) the red carpet, and her fashion fearlessness is exactly why we chose her to help us with House of Style (obvz). Well, it seems that the BBC had a similar idea, because they tapped the “I Will Never Let You Down” singer and style star to co-host Radio 1′s Teen Awards this weekend with her DJ bestie Nick Grimshaw. As expected, her wardrobe changes from red carpet to the big stage were colorful, cool, and totally legendary.

Her powder blue mini dress kind of reminds me of an art project with all of its floral embellishments…but like, an art project that totally slays. She’s straight up killing it in this dress. Plus, the way she balances its girliness with a pair of tough gladiator sandals is fantastic. A++, Rita!

Getty Images

Is anyone else having some serious Spice Girls flashbacks right now? Miss Ora channeled vintage Geri Halliwell in her Union Jack-printed dress, and a leather cuff by designer Maria Francesca Pepe.

This look even had a crown. Question: does it get any better? Answer: Nope.

On one hand, Rita looks a little bit like a pilgrim (or maybe a cowgirl?!) to me in this ensemble. A fierce, fashionable cowgirl-pilgrim. On the other hand, anyone who ...

Former Black Eyed Peas rapper Will.i.am (a.k.a. William Adams) has been rocking a futuristic look for a while now, boldly incorporating fashion and technology with technicolor plastic hair and jackets that light up Iron Man-style. He may not have always landed on the Best Dressed lists, but no one could say he wasn’t innovative. Yesterday he introduced his latest venture in marrying the worlds of style and technology at Dreamforce 2014 in San Francisco: a smartband collaboration with AT&T called the “i.am.PULS.”

Getty Images

Right now you’re probably all, “Um, Will.i.am, haven’t we seen a hundred of these smart watches? What’s so great about yours?” to which he’d probably respond, “Um, relax anonymous hater, this is cool and new,” and if you take a closer look, you might actually agree. The smartband looks more like a sleek cuff than a clunky smart watch, and in an interview with Fashionista, Will.i.am mentioned how it was specifically designed with fashion in mind, telling the site, “We’re not coming at this from Silicon Road.”

Getty Images

The smartband isn’t all his doing, either. His partnership with AT&T extends to an entire wardrobe of technology-supported clothing and accessories, including backpacks with speakers in them, jackets with chargers to juice your phone up on the go, glasses that ...

When you’re invited to attend a formal event for Chanel celebrating their signature perfume, No. 5, what kind of purse would you think to bring with you? Something classic? Something in tweed? Or maybe something that looks exactly like what you had for breakfast that morning? That’s precisely what up-and-coming actress India Menuez chose to do, and it’s safe to say that her bagel-inspired purse was a total hit.

Getty Images

While India was busy frolicking with the likes of Gisele Bundchen, Lily Allen, and Anna Wintour at the event (all of whom were dressed in head-to-toe Chanel, obvz), the fashion world was busy freaking the eff out over her bag, which was totally warranted given the fact that delicious carbs have never looked so chic.

Chloe Wise

“An artist friend made it, and when I was invited to the event and Chanel asked to dress me I thought, ‘Duh!’ Got to bring the bagel into the mix,” she told us.

The artist in question, Chloe Wise, is based in New York City and will officially be known as one of the few people in the world who’ve managed to prank his highness Karl Lagerfeld. Although Chloe makes it clear that the bag is only Chanel inspired, and not made with any actual Chanel hardware, it’s not clear if Karl ...

If you were thinking about getting Rita Ora a cool gift for her 24th birthday party (it’s on November 26), but, um, sorry, Teen Vogue just beat you to it (don’t worry—I’m sure you can totally regift that homemade “Black Widow” diorama).

Teen Vogue

The mag made the “British It girl” their November cover girl and gave her not one, but two sporty-cool covers. She, naturally, did not let us down.

Teen Vogue

She discusses fashion with the mag, revealing, “I’m a big fan of the pieces I wear. I wear designers I know the history of. When I meet all of these incredible talents—Jeremy Scott, Donna Karan, Tom Ford—I’m like, ‘Without sounding psycho, I want to know about your inspirations.’ I love their stories.” That’s not psycho at all, Rita—that’s clever as hell.

Teen Vogue

One of the photos features Rita in a DKNY longline varsity jacket that has her name and the number 25 emblazoned across the back. On Instagram, she captioned the photo “Rita for @dkny.” Um, what?! Could she be using all these collected inspirations for her own DKNY collab? We can hope, right?

Teen Vogue

There are a ton of photos from the shoot on Teen Vogue‘s site, and all encapsulate Rita’s enviable ability to pull off unexpected combinations like it ain’t no thang. See: this Jeremy Scott top, Calvin Klein briefs, ...
