On the heels of Pharrell Williams joining the fashion competition show last week, Style Network’s “Styled to Rock” has added model Erin Wasson to its panel of mentors for the Rihanna-produced series.

Show, slated to bow on the NBCU cabler later this year, follows 12 up-and-coming designers as they compete to style A-list celebs. Wasson, like Williams, will help guide the budding fashion talent through the season, offering industry insight and advice from her years of experience working as a successful model and designer herself.

“As a leading model and mainstay in the fashion industry, Erin’s unapologetic approach to fashion and free-spirited style will give the ‘Styled to Rock’ designers invaluable insight,” said Salaam Coleman Smith, prez of Style Media. “With Rihanna as executive producer and Pharrell and Erin as mentors, our designers will gain incredible experience while also being challenged in new ways as they compete to earn the title of America’s next trendsetting designer.”

Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette” music video has recently become her 12th VEVO Certified video (with over 100 million views), making Rihanna the artist with the most VEVO Certified videos. But we can do it even better! One of Rihanna’s biggest hits ever, “Umbrella,” is missing only 5 million from getting a VEVO certification! The video was released back when VEVO didn’t exist and obviously it has less views than the newer clips. Together we can pass that number – just watch the video!

“You Da One” is even closer with over 97 million views!

Check all of Rihanna’s VEVO Certified music videos here. Let’s do this!
