The 32-year-old singer and entrepreneur premiered her Savage X Fenty volume 2 show on Amazon Prime video to the delight of fans.
The show featured runway looks from Normani, Paloma Elsesser, Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Demi Moore, Laura Harrier, Lizzo and Willow Smith. The event also featured performances from Travis Scott, Rosalía, Bad Bunny, Ella Mai, Mustard and Roddy Ricch.
When the pictures of the models dropped online, fans were particularly excited to see pictures of plus-sized male models in the lineup.
One fan said: “Never in my adult life have I seen a male model that has a similar body to mine. I feel… almost emotional? Like I finally can buy something I saw and want and KNOW it was made for people like me in mind.”

This is not the first time that Rihanna has been praised for inclusivity when it comes to her brands.
Her makeup brand, Fenty Beauty, has been praised for its very extensive shades of makeup catering to everyone from super light-skinned to very dark-skinned women.
In an interview before the show premiered, Rihanna said: “When I imagine something, I imagine everyone I know and love being a part of it. I want to make stuff I can see on the people I know, and they come in all different shapes, sizes, races, and religions.
“Whether that comes from my household and my childhood, to the circle of family that I’ve created around me. I really care that they be a part of what I do.”
She added: “Inclusivity for me has always been something second nature. It’s not anything I really think about. I didn’t think it would be such a talking point after the fact. The only thing I could think about was including everyone.”
Awesome!!!
This is so thoughtful, Rihanna
