Every episode required a different look for Rita Ora on The Voice Australia TV Series 2021 for Channel 7. This time Rita wore a lace up black dress – this was a hot look and Rita looked outstanding in it. Kate Darvill (AGENT: B&A ) was the head stylist for Rita on The Voice. Kate is a contributing fashion editor for Australian Vogue Magazine.

Rita Ora – The Voice Australia 2021

Lok Lau (AGENT: WWW.mapltd.com/artist/loklau) is the hairdresser that I was working with on Rita. Such a talent and pleasure to work with. Lok is originally from New Zealand. He also worked in London as a very much in demand editorial fashion hairdresser. After having a family, he headed to Australia were he now works as a high fashion hairdresser.

It’s so important for the makeup artist and hairdresser to work together stylistically. We talk it out, brainstorm ideas and come up with the best hair and makeup look to suit Rita and her outfit.

Lok’s choice to do a soft curly up do was perfection, and it allowed me to give the makeup some strength.

I was very excited to be looking after Rita Ora for The Voice Australia TV Series 2021 for Channel 7. This was going to be a fun fabulous job but also a big and demanding one.

Rita Ora – The Voice judge

The first day of filming for The Voice was Blind Auditions. I arrived on set early so I could be organised before Rita Ora arrived. There’s never enough time! You may think two hours is enough time to do hair and makeup but there are many other things going on around that soak up your makeup and hair time

To best utilise the time Hairdresser Lok Lau (AGENT: WWW.mapltd.com/artist/loklau) and I work together can be tricky. It’s like painting a picture on a moving canvas – but you can’t dwell on any difficulties – you just have to get on and make it work.
