After posing as the face of Dior for the label’s Secret Garden IV ad campaign, Rihanna is once again partnering with the French house, this time as a designer. As part of the singer’s brand ambassadorship with the label, she’s designed a line of sunglasses with futuristic detailing and metallic colors inspired by the Star Trek character Geordi La Forge, played by LeVar Burton. Rihanna said that she’s always been “obsessed” with his space-age eyewear, and the idea came to her after playing with the materials on-hand in a Dior meeting.
The line, simply called Rihanna, is expected to arrive exclusively to Dior boutiques starting in early June. And because RiRi is always ahead of the curve, she’s been sporting the shades on her Instagram account, giving us a stylish taste of what’s to come. There is one frame available in six different styles: the silver, pink, blue, green and red versions will be priced at $840, while a deluxe 24-karat gold-plated edition will retail for $1,950.
