Susan Boyle ‘a style icon’

There’s absolutely no doubt that Susan Boyle has got a truly fantastic voice but we here at Secret Sales HQ believe that she leaves quite a lot to be desired in terms of the clothing stakes.

But it would appear that Jay Z has got a very different idea.

Despite being married to one of the most stylish women in the world, the US rapper feels that Su Bo is a true fashion icon.

He told the News of the World that he thinks she has got what it takes to follow in the footsteps of stars such as Kate Moss and Emma Watson and launch her own clothing brand.

"Everybody wants a piece of her and the market for her is huge. I could see her with her own clothing range," he said.

Jay Z went on to tell the quite possibly bemused reporters over at the News of the World that Su Bo will have a "massive appeal" among women of a certain age.

"They’ll see an ordinary person who made the best of herself. It’ll give them hope."

I don’t think that fashion icons such as Alexa Chung will be exactly quaking in their designer boots but we’ll see!

In a recent interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine, Susan was seen fashioning a fabulous pair of Giuseppe Zanotti heels - perhaps this was part of her designer clothing re-vamp?

Can you see Susan Boyle becoming a style icon?
