Rihanna, First Black Woman to Be Face of Dior

RIHANNA

The Barbadian artist has been roped in by the luxury French fashion brand making her the first black woman to be a face of Dior.

Shot in Versailles, France, by Steven Klein, the film and print campaign is scheduled to run this spring. And just like all the previous models and stars for the Secret Garden series, Riri too will be seen dressed in gorgeous Dior gowns while running around the palace of Versailles. Before the official release of the campaign, internet has been buzzing with images of Rihanna dressed in a sparkly silver sequin dress at the Palace of Versailles’ Hall of Mirrors.

The Rude Boy singer effortlessly transforms in to the Dior Girl and joins the league of the current Dior stars like Jennifer Lawrence, Marion Cotillard and Natalie Portman. While models including Daria Strokus, Melissa Stasiuk and Xiao Wen Ju have been starred in Dior’s previous Secret Garden films.
