Rihanna has teamed up with Dior for her latest fashion venture
But, for any non-believers, this isn't your typical celebrity collaboration: Rihanna was involved in the creative process from start to finish.
She said: "I spent a day at Dior with their eyewear team. I started by looking through all the archives to see what they've done in the past, then got acquainted with all the new materials. I literally sat there and drew and drew until I was happy with the design, and the team illustrated it for me there and then. We picked materials and colours that same day, and after that it was a matter of weeks before I saw the first prototype."

The range will be sold exclusively in Dior stores from next month, but you'd better get some quick as we're sure they're going to fly off the shelves.Along with her fashion and music projects, it was recently confirmed Rihanna will launch Fenty Beauty with LVMH in September 2017.
