Pour it up!
All you Rihanna enthusiasts will be glad to know, the singer turned TV producer has scored a major gig over at the Style Network. After receiving a poor reception across the pond, her fashion reality show Styled to Rock is now headed to the US.
So far it seems to be sticking to the same formula. Rihanna will choose 12 up-and-coming designers to produce pieces for A-list celebrities. The show will span 10 hourlong episodes as the creative set battles for the title of “America’s next trendsetting designer”.
On the joint venture, Salaam Coleman Smith, President of Style Media, revealed, “Rihanna is a trailblazer, a trendsetter and the epitome of style. She has a powerful and unique point-of-view that transcends every aspect of pop culture, including fashion, and is a leading creative force.”
The official press release read:
“Rihanna will personally select the 12 designers who will compete for the coveted opportunity to dress some of the biggest names in entertainment. To help the designers reach their ultimate artistic potential, Rihanna will enlist the guidance of top experts from the fashion industry to serve as mentors. Each week, challenges will push the designers to their creative limits when they are tasked with styling an A-list star. Each week’s celebrity guest will determine which designer best achieves their vision – and advances to the next week of competition. Faced with the threat of elimination, the remaining designers must meet with the mentors to discuss where they fell short and ultimately who will be sent home. In the end, one designer will be named the winner of ‘Styled to Rock’.”
Now that her show is headed to the US, will you be tuning in?

I live in the U.K, and I watched the show and actually really enjoyed it, the girl who won had her design worn when Rihanna performed at hyde park. I think the problem was it was on kind of an obscure channel here that no-one really watches anyway, a channel called Sky Living….the show was actually good though- it was well produced, the amatuer designers they picked were really talented….another problem with the show though was that Rihanna herself was not really as present on the show as she could have been, she would appear maybe once every 4 or so episodes and in a little snmippet in the begining…

Brenda, I saw on another site that the striped outfit is actually a man’s outfit. It’s from the Acne men’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

@sun.kissed exactly. Rihanna’s UK fans go way harder than her U.S. fans..so i don’t see this show doing well here.

I love Rihanna but I don’t really know how her show will turn out. To me it just seems like another version of Project Runway.
