Rap superstar Jay Z believes Susan Boyle has enough global appeal to be a style queen. 

Boyle shot to fame on 'Britain's Got Talent', she was dubbed the Hairy Angel with her grey curls and dowdy dresses, reports News of the World.

However, after her makeovers, Jay Z reckons the 48-year-old Scottish singing sensation has what it takes to be a fashion icon and launch her own brand.

He said: "What Susan's achieved is unbelievable. Everybody wants a piece of her and the market for her is huge. I could see her with her own clothing range. Sure, why not?"

"She'll appeal to women of a certain age. They'll see an ordinary person who made the best of herself. It'll give them hope," he added.
