Rita Ora: Record labels shouldn't dictate style

British pop songstress Rita Ora – known for her eclectic fashion sense - doesn't think music labels shouldn't choose clothes for their artistsand refuses to be told what to wera by her record label Roc Nation.

In an interview with US edition of ELLE magazine, Rita said: "That should never be allowed. It's like somebody telling you what to sing."

The singer also boasted how she managed to barter a free dress from Marchesa designer Georgian Chapman to wear to the MTV Europe Music Awards last year.

Rita, 22, turned heads on the red carpet in a stunning red gown with an embroidered bodice at the ceremony in Frankfurt, Germany.

She said: "I went up to [Marchesa designer Georgian Chapman] and said, 'Hi, I'm Rita. Nice to meet you. I need to wear your dress.' She was like 'What dress?' They've got 10 million dresses. I said, 'Look, I have your dress as the screen saver on my phone. This red dress needs to be on my body.' "
