Rihanna’s first television programme Styled to Rock premieres tonight on SkyLiving at 9 p.m.
Rihanna is the executive producer of the fashion reality show. The ten-part series is hosted by Nicola Roberts and Vogue blogger Henry Holland, and features a group of aspiring designers competing against one another.
“This show was a way for me to give these kids the opportunity to see how far they can go,” she said in a recent interview. “We’re hoping to find the next superstar designer to dress superstars – someone like Vivienne Westwood or Alexander McQueen.”
The eventual winning designer, whose name is being kept firmly under wraps, had the honour of dressing Rihanna – reportedly creating the outfit that she wore on-stage during Wireless Festival in Hyde Park last month. The show was pre-recorded earlier this year and sees the contestants facing a guest celebrity judge each week – including Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry and Pixie Lott.
“London has always been one of my favourite cities to come to,” Rihanna has recently shared. “I always go out on the street walking around, just to see what the kids are doing. They always set the trends for designers. The kids in London have so much street style and so much talent.” (RihannaDaily)
