ELLE Celebrates Women in Music

Honoring the lovely and talented musical ladies of today, the stars came out for the 4th Annual ELLE Women in Music Celebration at The Edison Ballroom in New York City on Wednesday (April 10).
Making a glamorous arrival, Rita Ora looked beautiful in a black-and-white ensemble complete with hat, while Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland rocked a fabulous look as well.

Each year, the magazine celebrates the women currently rocking the charts - and our world. This year, Adele, Alicia Keys, and Ms. Ora grace three alternative covers for the May 2013 special issue.
Inside, their peers Katy Perry, Britney Spears, Lea Michele, John Mayer, and Barbra Streisand join them. Sharing a snap of herself with other attendees, Rita tweeted, "The ladies #womeninmusic #ELLE 2013 @elleusa cover party! @kellyrowland #marthawainwright #robbiemyers #NYC."

{PHOTOS} Rita Ora’s Retail Romp In Sydney

Making the most of her time in the land down under, Rita Ora treated herself to a shopping spree in Sydney, Australia earlier today (February 28).
The sassy singer was joined by her pal/stylist Kyle De’Volle as she hit up a variety of different shops and boutiques, chatting on her iPhone and carrying a bag from the Sunglass Hut.

Rita is in Australia to perform at the Future Music Festival this weekend, and she couldn’t be happier about the gig. She tweeted, “SYDNEY!!!!!!!! I'm so excited!!!! #futuremusicfestival. We're off today where can we go Aussie bots! Give me a plan!! We're gona rock your festival this year we got a show for u! Here we go...”
As for her role in the forthcoming sixth installment of the “Fast and the Furious” franchise, Rita denied that she was recruited as a replacement for Rihanna.
“They needed a head girl [for] the girl drivers of London town. They asked me, ‘Would you mind being the leader of the pack in London?’ I was like, ‘Of course, I'd love to.’ And I think it summed up a great year for me, life kind of changed last year, so I did feel like a cool little leader when I was playing that role."
