Rihanna is often hailed as a beauty icon

"Hair, make-up and styling play an important role in creativity," Rihanna told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. "I am very involved with that part of my process, so this agency was an organic thing for me to do."

She added: "We are lucky enough to have some of the best artists at Fr8me but I also have a soft spot for finding new talent with extraordinary skills!"

The pop diva embarked on the new venture with managing partner Benoit Demouy, and revealed the Los Angeles-based agency focuses on working with artists to help them book adverts, photoshoots and red carpet gigs.
