Since her debut on the scene, Rita Ora has been compared to Rihanna countless times. The fact that the newbie artist has been taken under the wing of Rihanna's mentor Jay-Z didn't help dispel the association. Many claimed the rapper mogul tried to replace Rihanna after she allegedly forbid his wishes and worked with abusive ex-boyfriend Chris Brown for her "Birthday Cake" track.

It's undeniable that the two pop stars share the same aesthetic. Both Rihanna and Ora have a funky street style, edgy hairstyles, cool tattoos, and an obsession with bold red lipstick. Now the ladies are allegedly sharing the same guy - Robert Kardashian. Clearly, Kardashian has a type.

Ora has been getting major buzz, making people wonder if Rihanna is feeling threatened. Is Rihanna upset over her style being "swagger-jacked?" Maybe not. Rihanna shut down the feud rumors by planting a big kiss on Ora's cheek back in May. Perhaps is not Kardashian who's the player but it is the ladies that are. Rihanna has already proved herself to be the ultimate guy with her trips to strip clubs, string of forlorn lovers, and her "thug life." Rihanna seems to be unthreatened and unfazed.

Ora has not tweeted any subliminals regarding Kardashian and Rihanna's Saturday "birthday date." The singer is too preoccupied promoting her debut album. Ora is featured in the September issue of GQ magazine where she flaunts her many tattoos. "Tattoos to me are really kind of important, but I think they're just beautiful. I love tattoos. I think they're another form of art," the Roc Nation artist said.

Rihanna is also a big fan of getting inked. The Bajan singer has a growing collection of sixteen tattoos. Both she and Ora have similar bird tattoos on their foot. Ora has a wing and Rihanna has a gun shaped falcon.

Both songstresses also have a knack for mixing glam with sporty, making them the very few to successfully pull off a pair of Jordans worn with a sexy dress.

Wild glasses, long colorful nails, and hip threads make Rihanna and Rita Ora stand out in the music scene. However, there can only be one trendsetter. Take the poll below.
