Rihanna's campaign for fashion house Christian Dior has finally been revealed in full, as the fourth chapter in the Secret Garden saga is released.

The campaign film, shot by Steven Klein, was filmed in the stunning château and gardens of Versailles and to the soundtrack of the singer's intro to her eighth studio album, Only If For A Night.

Klein said of the video, "Rihanna's mystery and intrigue combined with her razor sharp looks and sensibility, are the essential, perfect elements to create the stage for Secret Garden."

In spring 2012 the house of Dior ignited the Secret Garden series, with a first film shot at the Château de Versailles by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Model Daria Strokous appeared wearing the pre-autumn 2012 collection and the film attracted more than 25 million views on YouTube.

The following year, the same team returned for Secret Garden II, this time unveiling another side of Versailles.

In a third chapter in 2014, Versailles appeared in a more intimate light as the film explored a succession of salons and private apartments.

Each year, the château and its domain offer up a new facet of their personality that resonates with that season's Dior collections.

This fourth chapter sees Rihanna wandering through the Salons of the Gods and dances in the Hall of Mirrors - which was also the setting for Dior's J'Adore perfume campaign starring Charlize Theron.

Speaking to MTV of her involvement in the campaign, Rihanna said "It feels fantastic."

"It is such a big deal for me, for my culture, for a lot of young girls of any colour. I think, to be acknowledged by Dior is just... it means a lot as a woman to feel beautiful, and elegant, and timeless."
