Rihanna is one of the biggest names in the music as well as fashion industry currently. She is regarded as one of the best-selling female recording artists of the 21st century and is also known for her humanitarian work. Rihanna’s cosmetic brand Fenty Beauty, launched in 2017, is popular for its broad inclusivity across various skin tones. It was highly acclaimed for diversity in its advertising campaign, which features numerous models of Color.
The singer also launched her fashion house Fenty under LVMH (Louis Vuitton-Moët-Hennessy) and became the first Black woman to lead a luxury brand for LVMH. Fenty Fashion was closed in 2021; however, she has continued to be one of the major influences in the fashion industry, and her recent gesture at an event just proves that.
Rihanna offers a seat to Linda Evangelista but ignores former friend Naomi Campbell
The Fenty Beauty founder Rihanna made an appearance at New York Fashion Week for the Alaïa Spring 2025 show held at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She wore a custom-made Alaïa crystal mesh coat with a white corset that could be seen through the glimmering netting.
Rihanna completed her look with strappy heels that had pearl adornments, along with a pair of pearl drop earrings, bracelets, and a large diamond ring. The singer-actress-business-woman took the front-row seat to watch the show. Fans, however, noticed that she stopped to offer former supermodel Linda Evangelista a seat next to her after people were stepping on her dress at the fashion show.
A video has gone viral of the singer greeting the former supermodel and asking her if she’d like to come sit next to her. Evangelista sweetly told her that she was good and appreciated the gesture. Fans have also praised the singer for being so thoughtful towards the former supermodel, as users mentioned;
Another user mentioned that the singer is the epitome of elegance and kindness, and offering former supermodel seats is the moment people are not going to forget. A third user stated that Rihanna is just amazing and the best woman power people are ever going to see in Tinsletown.
Fans also noted that at the same event, Rihanna greeted former British Vogue editor-in-chief Edward Enninful but ignored former friend Naomi Campbell and celebrity stylist Law Roach. The video shows that she met Enninful and kept walking. A user stated that ‘ maybe she only meant to ignore Naomi and Law being next to her caught a stray’.
The friendship between the two reportedly fell off after the singer started dating billionaire Hassan Jameel in 2017. According to Page Six, when Campbell appeared on Watch What Happens Live, she was asked about the fallout between the two but she squashed the rumors by stating that ‘everything’s fine.’ She added that she does not have beef, especially with Black women, who according to her are powerful and out there.
Rihanna is the face of Dior’s J’Adore fragrance
The Fenty Beauty founder was unveiled as the new face of Dior’s J’Adore Fragrance, replacing actress Charlize Theron. In her interview with Vogue, Rihanna shared the special connection between her family and cosmetics and perfume. She added,
My mother worked in a perfume shop. She used to always bring home the J’adore testers when they were almost empty, so there was always a bottle in the house. I have always loved this perfume.
The singer also spoke about her time in Palace of Versailles, and described it as enchanting, adding that everything is astonishingly beautiful. She added that the Palace of Versailles embodies so much history and the magnitude of French luxury, and it felt like a privilege to her to be able to wander around there early in the morning.
RiRi describes J’adore woman as ‘beautiful, strong, sexy, and resilient’ by adding;
J’adore is closely connected to gold, through its color, its bottle, and its image. Nowhere else in the world could you be surrounded by as much gold as Versailles. It is a dream in gold!
The singer-songwriter had previously launched a collection of 11 perfumes with fragrance house Parlux in 2010. Her first scent under her Fenty Eau de Parfum was sold out within hours of launch. Charlize Theron, who had been the face of J’adore for almost two decades, remains the ambassador for skincare and jewelry.
