‘Styled to Rock’ with Rihanna

Singer, actress and now reality television star and executive producer, Rihanna is set to star in and executive produce her own reality television fashion show on the Style network.

Known for her risqué, trendy and provocative stage fashion, the 24-year-old ‘Diamond’ singer will give 12 aspiring fashion designers the opportunity to style A-list celebrities. According to the show’s platform, each episode will feature a celebrity guest who will decide which designer should make it to the next round of the competition. At the end of the show, one aspiring designer will be named the winner. Prizes for the show are currently undetermined.Preparing for her reality show, Rihanna issued a statement saying, ‘[f]ashion has always played an integral part in my life and career. 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.’Style network for its part is excited about the project. Salaam Coleman Smith, president of Style Media released the following statement – ‘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.’ Smith added, ‘[o]n 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.’If her recent stint on the 2012 Victoria’s Secret show is any indication, then her fans are in for a sexy treat – sheer tunics, corsets, lace, chokers, pearls and thigh high slits. If that does not scream sex appeal, we don’t know what does. – www.examiner.com
