Rita Ora unleashes her dark side in the pages of GQ. The Kosovo-born Brit, whose album ORA arrives in the U.K. on August 27, tempts as a sexy kitten, pouts as an airline stewardess, and shows off her underarm tattoo and midriff in another image photographed by Sebastian Kim.

She has taken three years to complete her Roc Nation debut, which is a reflection of herself.

“The public’s not stupid,” she tells the magazine. “You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just been given all their songs.”

The 21-year-old singer has become the first artist this year to land three No. 1 singles on the U.K. charts with “Hot Right Now,” “R.I.P.,” and her latest, “How We Do (Party).” She is currently rehearsing for her first headlining tour.
