NEW YORK: Amazon Prime Video streamed Rihanna New York Fashion Week extravaganza for Savage X Fenty in more than 200 countries and territories.
The event’s army of models included women of all sizes in a range of ethnicities and skin tones. She believes women of all shapes, colors, and sizes should be celebrated, and that spirit of inclusion has made her lingerie and beauty lines massive successes.
“Women just need a little bit of validation,” the superstar explained to The Associated Press ahead of her Savage X Fenty fashion show last week. “You are beautiful. Your body’s beautiful. Your body’s sexy and you deserve to feel that way,” she added.
“We need to make stuff that’s real and looks like the world,” rapper Rapsody said of how Rihanna is changing the fashion and beauty game. “The world comes in so many shapes and different colors. Who cares about what people think the standard of beauty is, and lightness. She’s like, ‘Nah, we need dark tones. We need all the tones … albinos and freckles.’ She’s really looking at everybody, and that’s what’s dope about Rihanna.”
The show, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, was drenched in dreamy color — yellow, purple, blue and green — evoking an exotic locale with four tiers of large arched windows, stairs and a shallow round pool.
