Rihanna x Dior
Recently, Rihanna was named Dior's newest It Girl and her latest ad campaign for the fashion powerhouse shows us just why!
As part of the fourth installment to the label's Secret Garden campaign Rihanna joins the ranks of Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman and Marion Cotillard. Shot by Steven Klein, the scene is set with Rihanna walking through the Palace of Versailles decked out in looks from the Espirit Dior Collection. When asked why Rihanna was chosen for the campaign, Dior's chief director said, "In this short movie, [Rihanna] knew how to work with Versailles. She has this kind of elegance — we saw it from the very first moment — and then she can surprise. She can be unexpected and we like it. It’s part of this personality.”
Rihanna also expressed how she felt about being chosen for the elusive campaign. In an interview with MTV Rihanna said "It feels fantastic, it is such a big deal for me, for my culture, for a lot of young girls of any color. I think, to be acknowledged by Dior is just... it means a lot as a woman to feel beautiful, and elegant, and timeless."
