Rihanna has been busy lately, from touring to topping music charts with her hit song “Work.” In addition to her credits as a singer and actress, Rihanna can now add “Dior designer” to her list of credentials. With summer fast approaching, RiRi has announced her own collection of sunglasses, exclusively for Dior.
This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen Rihanna collaborate with designers. In the past, she’s released an apparel collection with Puma (a.k.a. Fenty Puma by Rihanna), and she’s also a creative director for Stance socks. Now, Rihanna is teasing her collection of super cute, futuristic sunnies, and we NEED these ASAP.
With this Rihanna x Dior collection, Rihanna designed six variations on the sunnies—all inspired by Geordie La Forge from Star Trek. “I’ve always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together,” she said.
In case you’re anxious to get your hands on a pair of these sunnies, you might want to start saving up. Each pair ranges from $840, to $1,950 for a 24-karat gold-plated version. The sunglasses are expected to hit stores in June. Looks like the work just never stops for Rihanna. “I’ve always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together.“I’ve always been obsessed with his eyewear, and when I got to Dior and saw all the materials I could play with, it all just came together.
