Rihanna is about to make history with her fashion choices. Though the "FourFiveSeconds" singer is already style icon for her sometimes scandalous, sometimes outrageous and always stunning fashion choices, today (March 13), it was announced that Rihanna is breaking through the race barrier to become the first black spokesmodel for Dior.
The pop superstar is slated to star in the fashion house's next "Secret Garden" short film, according to Vogue. The fourth installment of the video series will be shot by regarded photographer Steven Kline, and like the past "Secret Garden" movies, it will feature Rihanna running through the halls of Versailles in a lush Dior ballgown.
So, yeah, it's going to be pretty gorgeous.
