Rita Ora is a British singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her songs “R.I.P.,” “How We Do (Party),” “Your Song,” “Anywhere,” “Let You Love Me,” and, in a featured role, “Hot Right Now.” She has also been billed as Rita Sahatçiu Ora.
She was born in Pristina, Yugoslavia, to a Kosovan Albanian family. She is the daughter of Vera (Bajraktari), a psychiatrist, and Besnik Sahatçiu, a pub owner. Her father is a Muslim and her mother is Catholic. Her family moved to the U.K in 1991, because of the persecution of Albanians in Kosovo, and she was raised in Notting Hill, London. Her surname, Sahatçiu, is derived from the Turkish word saatçi, which means “watchmaker.” Her family later added “Ora” to her full name; the word means “time” in Albanian. She is a citizen of the U.K. and Kosovo. In 2015, she was named Honorary Ambassador of Kosovo.
When asked about her ethnicity in an interview, Rita stated that she is “100% from Kosovo,” here. A picture of Rita’s father can be seen here. A picture of Rita’s mother can be seen here. Rita is married to New Zealand actor and filmmaker Taika Waititi.
Rita’s paternal grandfather was Besim Sahatçiu, a film and theatre director (the son of Adem Sahatçiu and Besa). Besim was born in Pejë, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, now Kosovo.
Rita’s maternal grandfather was named Osman Bajraktari. Osman was the Albanian consul to Russia, then part of the USSR.
She doesn’t look like a white person at all. Albanian is just her nationality. Maybe she’s part Gypsy. White people don’t tan like her. I know Gypsies who look just like her. Pure Albanians look like this https://m.flickr.com/#/photos/40749726@N05/5837471990/in/search_QM_q_IS_albanian+people_AND_mt_IS_all_AND_w_IS_all
She looks Turkish.
She looks part black, like she had a black grandparent. She couldn´t be considered white but it is certain that she is mostly white.
She can be considered white because she is white. If you think she has a black grandparent you don’t know shit about Albania or Albanians and shouldn’t be commenting on her.
why post a pic of her with all that fake tan, big bird hair and weird makeup and is unflattering
her natural self looks more white
use this pic

that pic i posted makes her look better
and also not black like ppl think cause e shes more natural
In every single picture she looks part black. There is no way she’s fully white.
A picture of her when she was young: http://img.thesun.co.uk/aidemitlum/archive/01519/SNF01BIZF_1519581a.jpg
She looks Southern European in that picture which she is. She has 0 black features and Gheg Albanians are a genetically and geographically isolated people. If you are not familiar with the culture and history of a people, you should not be speculating about them.
She doesn’t look European at all….I thought she was mixed-race
She obviously has Romani Gypsy ancestry and Australoid admixture from her Romani ancestry is giving off pseudo-Negroid features.
No she does not.
It’s because she tabs and gets Botox. She’s a celebrity who wants to cultivate a certain look.
