A hot topic like Rita Ora needs to wind down every once in a while. So, we think it was great that she chose to spend some quality time with her sister at a salon for some much-needed pampering.
Rita Ora on her way to Percy and Reed hair salon in Marylebone, London, on August 8, 2013
The 22-year-old singer-songwriter visited the Percy and Reed hair salon in Marylebone wearing a white button-down blouse with a blazer and cropped pants combo.
She finished off the streamlined look with a retro spin, choosing color-blocked oxfords as footwear. We love the boyish look, and we thought we’d see a really girly hairdo for a perfect contrast.

What we didn’t expect was the big-curl bob that Ora had after emerging from the salon a little under 4 hours later. Critics are already calling it dated, while some are unsure how this will work with Rita’s image.
We’d like to give the new look a chance. It may grow on us. How about you? What do you think of Rita Ora’s new look?
