Rihanna has been quite the fashion diva. Her sexy and eccentric style is as appreciated as her music. The singer has now teamed up with Style Network to produce a new fashion /design reality competition called "Styled To Rock".
According to a report by MTV, the 10 hour-long episodes will premiere on the cable network in 2013. In a statement, Rihanna recently revealed how excited she is about the new project.
"Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career," she said. I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work."
Aspiring contestants can fill in entry forms on the network's website. According to a statement released by the singer, Rihanna plans on choosing each of the final 12 contestants who make in on air herself. Not just that, the singer also plans to be actively involved in choosing the mentors who will mentor each of the contestants through the week.
"Rihanna is a trailblazer, a trendsetter and the epitome of style. She has a powerful and unique point-of-view that transcends every aspect of pop culture, including fashion, and is a leading creative force," Style Media's president, Salaam Coleman Smith, said in a report published on MTV. "On the heels of our successful network rebrand, 'Styled to Rock' and Style's new partnership with Rihanna will reinvent the fashion competition genre, fueling our viewers insatiable appetite for all things style." The singer also appeared in the U.K version of the show earlier this year.
Rihanna teased her fans with the news through her twitter account this week. "Big news coming tomorrow!," Rihanna promised Tuesday on Twitter.
Seems she didn't disappoint.
