Rihanna has been named the new face of the famous fragrance, after Theron worked in this position for two decades

Rihanna is the new face of the Dior fragrance J’adore, it was announced on Tuesday. Her first ad comes out on September 1.

The 36-year-old singer shared the news on Instagram with an image of herself in black sunglasses as she wrote in her caption, ‘The secret it out.’

This comes after 48-year-old Hollywood blonde bombshell Charlize Theron had the job for two decades.

‘Being the new face of J’Adore is both an honor and a mission,’ the Diamond’s singer shared in a statement.

‘This scent that I have known and loved for so long means so much to women.

‘I am especially looking forward to joining this adventure and contributing to it through my world, my story, my roots, as well as my creativity and my own femininity.’

Dior also released a statement.

‘The unusual talent, audacity, and captivating beauty of this absolute star are the ideal embodiment of dazzling, powerful Dior femininity that transcends generations,’ shared Véronique Courtois, CEO of Parfums Christian Dior.

‘Her golden dream promises to be unique, reflecting a fragrance that is present for women and retains its radiance.’

J’Adore debuted in 1999 and became Dior’s bestseller.

Rihanna’s first J’Adore campaign will debut on September 1 and will be shot by famed photographer Steven Klein.

Charlize is still working with Dior. She was named this year as their Jewelry and Skin Care Ambassador.

This announcement comes after news that Rihanna is ‘starting over’ with her ninth album.

The Umbrella hitmaker hasn’t released an LP since 2016’s Anti, but now she’s finally ready to get back into the studio again.

She plans to re-listen to the music she’s worked on over the last few years and decide if any of it is still relevant or interesting to her.
