Followers of the reality show X-Factor were bothered not by the decision of the judges but by Rita Ora’s outfit for the show.
While Ora was faced with the tough task of picking out her top three girls, the viewers were busy trying to figure out what the 24-year-old pop singer was wearing that night.
Ora has always been dressed appropriately and nicely but her pink and floral X-Factor outfit prompted fans to give the singer some fashion advice.
One tweeter said “I don’t think that outfit works.” Another Twitter follower compared Ora to a “fluffy snowman.” One commenter advised Ora to fire her fashion designer for making her wear such ridiculous outfit.
What the hell is #RitaOra wearing? I'm not a fashion icon by any means but I don't think that outfit works #JudgesHouses #XFactor

Fans were not only confused by her fashion statement, they were also annoyed as some called her choice of clothes “ugly.”
Really like Rita Ora outfit tonight, but I much preferred it when she wore it in Ghostbusters #XFactorJudgesHouse pic.twitter.com/vw1EVm8RuO

Rita Ora is that good looking she can pull that outfit off

Ora wore a checked, pink satin blouse and matched it with a high-waist floral skirt. However, what made her look a “fashion disaster” was her pink floral boots made out of the same fabric as her skirt. She was even called a “clown” by one Twitter user who happened to watch the latest episode.

Another commenter did not hold back and said Ora was “a week early for Halloween outfit” while one tweeted her boots looked like a “tumorous skin disease has eaten her legs.” Harsh!
As for the results of the contest that night, Ora picked Louisa Johnson, 17, Lauren Murray, 26, and Kiera Weathers, 18, after much deliberation from her co-judges. They are qualified to the next round of the competition.

Despite her poor choice of outfit, I like @RitaOra choice of finalists, a judge who's chosen her acts correctly #XFactor

Pop singer Meghan Trainor helped Ora pick her top three girls whom she will be grooming for the finals.
Fellow judge Nick Grimshaw also revealed his top three boys: Che Chesterman, 19, Mason Noise, 21, and Seann Miley Moore, 24.
