Written by . Published: May 30 2013
Rihanna has hired her personal stylist and tour wardrobe master Mel Ottenberg as the final judge on her new reality TV show Styled To Rock.
Ottenberg will join Pharrell Williams and model/designer Erin Wasson on Style Network's new competition series, which debuted in the U.K. last year (12).
Rihanna, who will serve as executive producer of the show, says,
"Mel and I have such a similar aesthetic. It's as if he can read my
mind sometimes. I love his attention to detail and all the research
he does for every look. He is more than a stylist. He is an
artist."
As a leading stylist, Ottenberg has also reinvented Cate Blanchett,
Chloe Sevigny and James Franco's looks.
