As if popstar musician and model Rihanna does not already have enough on her plate, the beauty can now officially add face of Dior to her resume. The French fashion house released informationĀ on Friday sharing the news that the singer would be appearing in an upcoming ad campaign, which will include both print and video.
The campaign will debut next spring, and is going to be filmed in Versailles. The campaign is allegedly the fourth installment of Dior’s Secret Garden video series where the chosen model runs around the palace of Versailles wearing of course Dior gowns. Both the videos and the photos will be shot by Steven Klein.
No further information has been released about Rihanna’s involvement with the company at this time. The spokesperson for Dior has been kept under wraps as well as the company does not allow the releasing of their names.
The news is not entirely surprising however, as Rihanna has become a staple in the front row at the fashion shows, and has had quite an impressive modeling career already in her career. She recently appeared on the cover of fashion magazine Harper’s Bazaar lounging in the mouth of a shark, and giving quite the tribute to Jaws.
The superstar is known for showing a lot of skin but this shot showed off her ability to rock a more covered up look by wearing a gold one piece Chanel bathing suit. Surely Rihanna’s shoot for Dior will similarly show that looking beautiful and sexy is possible in any amount of coverage.
What is noteworthy about Rihanna getting the deal with Dior, is that this marks the first time that the brand has chosen a black woman as its face. The fashion community is often criticized for its lack of diversity, so this comes as great news. No doubt Rihanna will look stunning as usual.
