The 22-year-old beauty discusses with the magazine what is arguably her best red carpet moment to date, which is when she wore a red Marchesa ballgown to the MTV EMAs.
“I went up to [Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman] and said, ‘Hi, I’m Rita. Nice to meet you. I need to wear your dress.’ She was like, ‘What dress?’ They’ve got 10 million dresses. I said, ‘Look, I have your dress as the screen saver on my phone. This red dress needs to be on my body’”, Rita explains to ELLE.
In addition to her Chanel couture ensemble, below, Rita also wears couture creations from Dior and Valentino. Rita was photographed by Thomas Whiteside and styled by Joe Zee.

The ‘American Idol‘ judge explains to the magazine how it was like to get a make-under.
“When I saw myself with barely any makeup at, it was such a… like, I’m so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it’s hard. I feel that it’s become a part of me. To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol’ crazy lashes — you know, nothing — I felt naked. It was scary! So this photo shoot was a real accomplishment in my eyes”, Nicki tells ELLE.
