18 years later: Rita Ora repeats Whitney Houston’s legendary image

In February 2012, the world was shocked by the death of Whitney Houston, one of the most commercially successful singers in world music history and author of the iconic soundtrack to the movie “I Will Always Love You.” Protection” (1992). The official cause of death was suffocation due to substance abuse, but the singer’s husband Bobby Brown took a completely different view on the matter. The other day, Rita Ora decided to refresh the singer’s memory and paid a genuine homage to her legendary image.

Rita appeared at the 2022 MTV Europe Music Awards in a gold Elie Saab oriental tailored dress worn by Whitney Houston at the 2004 World Music Awards in Las Vegas. Of the differences – only the choice of loose hair and jewelry. Rita tried on gold earrings made of “liquid” metal, the same bracelets on both hands, and a few rings. Maybe we won’t be voting in the spirit of “whose image looks cooler” – that would be inappropriate in the context of Whitney’s history. Instead, we recommend watching an excerpt from the latter’s performance at the same award in 2004. And yes, now you will definitely hear familiar motifs.
