R & B chicks are turning the modeling industry on it’s head! Rihanna, Beyonce, and a host of others have transitioned $uccessfully from entertainers to models and back again. Rihanna with Cover Girl and Got Milk? Bey with Armani and L’oreal, so who else is jumping on that million dollar bandwagon?
First up, the soulful Ms. Erykah Badu is the new face of Tom Ford White Patchouli fragrance. Check her out giving us her best Ms. Ross. This shot is fierce personified!
The Ford/Badu duo is a match made in advertising heaven. Tom Ford’s ads are known for being sexual and risque while Badu has always been a creative entertainer traveling in her own lane. The fragrance is slated to hit a market near you in September. What do you think of the ad?
Another R & B diva who sent tongues wagging after her performance with Chris Brown on this year’s BET awards is attempting to get into the world of modeling. Fresh off her stint with Rocawear, Ciara just signed a modeling contract with Wilhemenia.
“Modeling has always been one of my aspirations,” says Ciara. “But I was insecure about my height. I thought I was 5’7″ but I just found out that I’m 5’8″ so I’m really excited about that.” She’s also in talks with affordable retailer Steve & Barry’s to develop her own clothing line. I think she has what it takes. She’s tall, beautiful, and her body is sick. Do you think Ciara is cut out to be a model?
