The names Rihanna and Dior might not seem like much of a match but the latest collaboration between the two speaks otherwise.Ā For her second collaborative project with the French House, the Grammy Award-winning singer designed (from scratch, no less) a series of very futuristic looking sunglasses.

Inspired by the visorĀ of Star Trekā€™s La Forge, the collection sees the frame in six color variations, including silver, pink, blue, green, red and a 24k gold-plated version. This may be the first time Dior has given its ambassador an opportunity to partake in the design process, but Rihanna is more than qualified. She released herĀ Fenty Puma by Rihanna collectionĀ at New York Fashion Week in Febuary, and has since worked with Manolo Blahnik on a range of denim-centric footwear.

ā€œWe are very pleased to partner for the second time with Rihanna,ā€ said Dior chief executive officer Sidney Toledano. ā€œShe is an artist, an entertainer, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and a style icon for todayā€™s generation.ā€
