The Holidays Are Coming, So Naturally, Rihanna Wants All Our Money
As I write this, snow is (prematurely) falling upon Chicago, a pointed reminder that tomorrow, Nov. 1, kicks off the holiday season (in other words, cue the gift guides). And since it’s now the season of spending, it should come as no surprise that Rihanna expects us bitches to have her money, as evidenced by…

Is Louis Vuitton the Next Brand to Boycott? LVMH's Photo-Op With Trump Has the Fashion Industry Seeing Red

Rihanna Wants Us All to Know She’s Not Pregnant
Okay, we don’t really know if that’s the subliminal message behind the bikini-clad Instagram video the entertainer and entrepreneur posted last night (complete with a clutch, chiffon cover-up, and tightly rolled spliff). But we do know the universal response wasn’t “When are you due?” It was just “Day-umm.” In case you suspect that Rih was…

Sure, You Can Ask Rihanna About Getting Pregnant—If Your Name Is Anna Wintour
There are precisely two questions Rihanna has been fielding constantly all year—all with fairly good humor: 1) Where is that album you promised? (Answer: lol) and 2) So, uhmm…baby?

‘I’m All Over the Place’: Is That Why We Can’t Escape You, Rihanna?
At the risk of infuriating “The Navy,” we have a confession to make: Rihanna’s starting to wear us out. Specifically, we can’t get this woman’s foot off our necks—everywhere we go, there she is.

What do you get the girl who has everything? Rihanna is indisputably that girl (OK, woman), having not only a ridiculously successful music career (much delayed ninth album notwithstanding) but a groundbreaking beauty empire and concurrent lingerie and luxury fashion lines.

Friend, Foe or Fraud? Shaun King on the Accusations Against Him, Rihanna's Diamond Ball, DeRay and More
By now, Shaun King should be used to the drama. After all, the accusations King has faced are legion. People have accused him of not being black, of being a government operative inserted to dismantle the movement, of being an egomaniac who centers himself in the movement, a plagiarist who co-opts the work of black…

Ahead of the Curve: What Every Lingerie Brand Can Learn From Rihanna's Vision for Savage x Fenty
“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’…what society sees [as] sexy,” says Rihanna within the first minute of her Savage x Fenty Show mini-doc, now streaming on Amazon’s Prime Video.

Will the Savage x Fenty Show Be the Rihanna Musical Extravaganza We've Been Thirsting For?
Pulsating beats. Undulating bodies. Scantily-clad swag under a spectrum of colorful lights. Is it a music video? A concert appearance? Rihanna’s recent text-filled (and highly controversial) trip to see Slave Play on Broadway?

Who Won NYFW? Well, Rihanna, Obviously
Is she or isn’t she? That was the question consuming Black Twitter after images and video from Rihanna’s 5th annual Diamond Ball surfaced, raising speculation that her delayed ninth album might be due to another, far more important project currently in production… Read into her cryptic, yet on-point statement—or the conspicuously clingy black velvet cocktail…
