So, What Went Down at Rihanna’s Top Secret Savage x Fenty Show Last Night?

From Harper's BAZAAR

Rihanna is back gracing New York Fashion Week with her presence—and another jaw-dropping Savage x Fenty runway show. The singer-turned-designer presented her latest collection of lingerie with a full-on SHOW at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. With several musical performances (from Halsey, Migos, and even Rihanna herself) and a star-studded front row, it's safe to say Bad Gal Riri has triumphantly taken the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show's crown—except with a diverse runway celebrating women of all sizes.

So, What Went Down at the Savage x Fenty Show?

If you're wondering why you haven't seen any photos or videos from the runway show yet, it's because there was a strict no phone policy for all attendees. Guests had to place their phones in a locked case to avoid any leaks or video footage from the runway since it will be streamed on September 20 via Amazon Prime Video.

Who Walked the Runway?

Along with some of your favorite models—from Gigi and Bella Hadid to Cara Delevingne, Joan Smalls, and Slick Woods—a number of celebrities walked the Savage x Fenty show as well. A mix of singers, actors, and dancers including Normani, Laverne Cox, 21 Savage, Paloma Elesser, and Aquaria took on the runway—which featured choreography by Parris Goebel. There was an emphasis on body movement and dance, as opposed to a traditional catwalk strut.

“I love how she makes everything sexy despite society’s ideal of what sexy looks,” Rihanna told BoF in an interview after the show. “I don’t care about any skinny Victoria’s Secret model when I look at Parris. I want to be that woman on the inside. I want to feel that confident I want to feel that bombastic…That is the Savage brand.”

Who Performed at the Show?

The runway event was topped off with a lineup of A-list musical performers including Migos, Halsey, DJ Khaled, Fabolous, A$AP Ferg, Big Sean, and even Rihanna herself took the stage. The performances were dispersed throughout the show.
