Rita Ora has revealed the inspiration behind her new short hairstyle

OHMYGOSSIP — Rita Ora has revealed the inspiration behind her new short hairstyle – she wanted her locks to look as though they’d been hacked away at with a “knife and fork”.

The pop beauty had a clear idea in her mind about what she wanted her new style to resemble when she decided to ditch the length boosting strands and go shorter.

Rita insists when you make a decision to overhaul your look you have to be bold.

The 25-year-old star said: “This (my hair) was something I wanted to look like was cut with a knife and fork. I definitely wanted it to look like it wasn’t a strategic, planned haircut. I like this little wedge in the back. I think you have to have a commitment to a certain degree to be like, ‘Alright guys I’m cutting my hair off.’ I am with all my looks, whether it’s extensions or whatever. I always commit to it. You have to or it doesn’t work.”

Although Rita is one of the sexiest women in the music business and regularly wows with her flesh-baring outfits she claims she’s actually a “tomboy”.

But the ‘Coming Home’ hitmaker admits she just cannot resist clothes that make her feel “sexy”.

Speaking in a video interview with InStyle.com, she said: “I’m more comfortable being the street girl. I’m definitely a tomboy at heart. But I can’t say no to clothes, I can’t say no to something that makes me feel sexy and glamorous.”

Rita has modelled for numerous designers and most recently posed in her own underwear range that she created for Italian designer Tezenis.
