Get ready Britain! A fashionista in her own right, Rihanna is headed over to Britain to find the hottest upcoming fashion designers for a new TV show. VIBE reports that the singer will be teaming up with Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts, who will serve as host, for the upcoming series. Rihanna herself will serve as executive producer on the untitled show, which will be released this summer.
Roberts and Rihanna will gather 10 contestants for a competition to design outfits for musicians and celebrities (Project Runway with a British flair? Nice.) The constestants’ final task will give them the opportunity to design an outfit for Rihanna’s Wireless performance in Hyde Park in July.
“I’ve always had a great love of fashion,” said Rihanna in a statement. “It’s a constant source of inspiration in my life, and is a big reason why I’ve grown into the person and artist I am today.” She continued: “I have been very fortunate to work with some truly amazing designers and stylists throughout my career, and they have been instrumental in making sure my creative vision reaches the stage. I am excited to follow the journey of our aspiring contestants and see how their individuality influences their efforts during the course of the show.”
So Rihanna may be having a really good time as of late, enjoying the fruits of her labor (smoking joints and hooking up with Chris Brown again?). But it’s good to see she still has the wheels in motion. This show might just be a hit! If not, she always has her music. Plus a nice role in the movie Battleship coming this summer!
