Rita Ora reveals in Flare's August issue that she "loves dressing up."

But the British beauty is also a fan of leaving a little off—baring a little side boob and a lot of cleavage as their sizzling hot cover girl.

The maternal inspiration behind the pop star's wild and sexy style is also uncovered in the magazine's fall-centric feature. Her mother, Vera, is fully on board with the 23-year-old bombshell's at times exposed look—in fact, she encourages it, "When I wear crazy stuff, my mom'll say, 'I need sex. I need glamah.'"

That "glamah" mixed in with some denim, fishnets and heavy jewels dominates the fashion story, but the spread also delves into Ora's success in the cutthroat music biz.

Refusing to call herself a "boss bitch" outright because "a boss-ass bitch doesn't say she's a boss. Everyone knows," the singer-songwriter acknowledges others in her industry not as rivals, but as a form of energy, saying, "There's always competition. I definitely feel it. I thrive off of it. I love it."

The Fifty Shades of Grey actress also stays fixated on her goals instead of what other crooners are up to by putting blinders on: "For me, it's like, look forward. You don't have to look side to side. If you start looking from side to side, you get confused."

However, she does allow music heavyweights like Queen Bey fuel her drive and focus, "Beyoncé built her f–king foundation from the bottom. I think that's the exact career every female artist wants to have."
