Rihanna is more than doing her bit for promoting inclusivity. When she launched Fenty Beauty, she did so with a foundation range that boasted 40 shades. Unheard of at the time, she’s made it the norm for new foundations to hit shelves with no fewer than 30 shades and women around the world couldn’t be more thankful to the singer, fashion designer and beauty mogul for making it happen.

“I’m looking for unique characteristics in people that aren’t usually highlighted in the world of fashion as it pertains to lingerie and sexy, or what society sees as sexy.”
The video includes the entire show, along with backstage access, not dissimilar to the iconic Victoria’s Secret show. Only Rihanna’s show has the Internet saying, ‘Victoria who?!’ They were lapping up every second on what Rihanna put together:
Wasting no time getting her powerful pieces to the world, you can already buy the new Fenty x Savage collection on Amazon.
