Iggy Azalea is making more moves. The rapper has just been named the new host for MTV's iconic House of Style series.  

There will be eight episodes, airing weekly on mtv.com, beginning Aug. 4. Follow Iggy as she stops by Los Angeles' best vintage stores and interviews the likes of Rita Ora and Jeremy Scott

“The biggest impact that ‘House of Style’ had on pop culture is its ability to make fashion fun and interesting to fans who are both diehard fashionistas or not at all,” said Iggy.  “I am so excited to bring back this iconic show for another generation of teenagers."

The House of Style series, which highlights the relation between music and fashion, first aired in 1989 and ran on MTV until 2000. In those years, we saw Jay Z debut his Rocawear line and Cindy Crawford, the original host, visit The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air set and ask for Will Smith's approval on a pair of Jordans.  

Previous hosts include Molly Sims, as well as Joan Smalls and Karlie Kloss, with the latter two fronting the show when it was revived last year.

Look out for Iggy and the show next month, and don't miss the 30-minute MTV Video Music Awards special on Aug. 26.
