Dior: Rihanna Makes History As Company's First Black Campaign Star

Rihanna is proud to be the first black woman to be the face of Dior because it's giving her the opportunity to be a role model for "girls of any color."

The singer spoke to MTV about what it feels like to make history as the new face of Dior.

“It feels fantastic,” said Rihanna. “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 means a lot, as a woman, to feel beautiful — to feel elegant and timeless.”

Rihanna's campaign will be shot by Steven Klein at Versailles, and she will star in the fourth installment of Dior's "Secret Garden" video series.
