00:01Born in Yugoslavia to Albanian parents, Rita Ora's family relocated to London when she was just a year old.
00:08Fond of singing from a young age, at 11, Rita starred in a school production of Cinderella.
00:13And a teacher was so impressed, they recommended Ora's parents send the future star to a performing arts high school.
00:20At 17, Jay-Z signed her to a record deal after seeing her videos on YouTube, and her career was
00:25on its way.
00:26Topping the charts with numerous hit singles in the U.K. and abroad, the multi-talented Rita has also hit
00:32the big screen, in the popular Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy.
00:36Oh yeah, it's definitely more intimate acting, I would say, because you're in control with your music and with entertainment
00:42and music videos.
00:43It kind of comes from you, and it's like, what's your vision? What's your idea?
00:46And with movies, it's kind of not. You're taking on a whole other vision of somebody else with a whole
00:52other character and persona.
00:53For the final movie, though, Rita did get the chance to add her personal spin as well, recording a song
00:59for Fifty Shades Free.
01:00Yeah, it's for you, it's with me and Liam Payne, who is just somewhere over there, and it's a love
01:05song finishing off the movie, and it's really good, it's the lead single of the soundtrack, and yeah, I'm very
01:11proud of it.
01:12On top of singing and acting, Rita has another passion, namely fashion.
01:17The star has been experimenting with her own style for years, and has modeled and designed for several brands.
01:22She even hosted a cycle of America's Next Top Model in 2017.
01:27And after previously admitting she's always dreamed of having her own clothing brand, Aura finally launched her own label, called
01:34Rora Republic, at the beginning of 2018.
01:37Living such a busy life, Rita's often on the move, flying from one place to the other.
01:42Like most stars, she finds that the dry air on planes can be really rough on your skin.
01:47But over the years, the multi-talented Miss Aura has found a routine that works perfectly for her.
01:53Oils, like smells, and face wipes.
01:58I'm all about, like, treating myself when I'm flying.
02:02Like, I like to, like, do moisturizing and, like, sleep.
02:06Yes, getting enough sleep is key if you want to look like a star.
02:10And we bet this lady has many more useful beauty tips up her sleeve.
02:13So make sure to keep an eye on 21st century it girl, Rita Aura.
