The 10-episode series will give 12 up-and-coming designers, chosen by Rihanna, an opportunity to style A-list stars.

"Fashion has always played an integral part in my life and career," the Grammy winner said in a statement. "I am so excited to partner with Style Network and share my creative insight with these 12 designers and give them this opportunity to showcase their work."

The show's weekly celebrity guest will decide which designer did the best job. One contestant will be sent home, and those remaining will advance to the next week's challenge. At the end, one aspiring designer will be named the winner. Prizes are still being determined.

A casting search is under way on Style's website.
