Everything to Know About Rihanna's Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 Show
The “Lift Me Up” singer has created another successful show with an all-star lineup, incredible music, and extraordinary dance numbers.
As the purple-hued fog clears away, unveiled is a mystic forest where seductive woodland creatures pop out from beneath the ground and the sultry show begins. For the highly anticipated Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 show, Rihanna takes her position as a new mother and channeled it into her role as Mother Nature with a clearly nature-inspired theme throughout the show.
Opening the spectacle emerges Rihanna, wearing a blue corset, black stockings, and a voluminous black tulle shrug. Dancing within the forest setting, the singer sways among the vines and struts with her dancers as A$AP Rocky’s “D.M.B” plays in the background. As the show progresses in these eerie mystical woodlands, you can’t help but be entranced by the tight choreography, catchy beats, and sexy lingerie collection.
Switching out a traditional runway for a mossy-infused forest floor walks numerous fashion models including Precious Lee, Irina Shayk, Joan Smalls, Cara Delevingne, Alton Mason, Zack Miko, and Lara Stone. The alluring essence of the show is also supported by the incredible musical performances by artists such as Anitta, Burna Boy, Don Toliver, and Maxwell.
It’s no easy feat to produce a fashion show with a 40-minute runtime and be able to keep your audience engaged throughout the duration of the show. But what has made Rihanna stand out from the inception of Savage x Fenty is her commitment to diversity and inclusion. That initiative has revealed itself through the diverse range of models the brand brings into the project. Models of all sizes, shapes, colors, ages, and genders are highlighted while wearing the lingerie.
On top of the diverse models, the “Sex With Me” singer includes an impressive lineup of celebrities to have their shining moments like Rickey Thompson, Marsai Martin, Bella Poarch, Taraji P. Henson, Simu Liu, Lilly Singh, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Taylour Paige, Winston Duke, and Kornbread Jeté.
Another surprising celebrity highlighted in the production is actor Johnny Depp. While including men is nothing new for Rihanna, many fans were surprised at the casting of the Pirates Of The Caribbean star. After the controversial court battle between him and Amber Heard, many online users were outraged at Rihanna for casting Depp in the show. British singer Olly Alexander took to Twitter to express he will no longer be supporting the label after hearing about Depp's casting.
However, for all the controversy, there's no question that overall Savage x Fenty Vol. 4 has succeeded in creating unforgettable moments and proving why it is such an esteemed production.
Closing out the show among a pink-hued wasteland is a hard-hitting dance number where dancers from the opening sequence end the production as entranced in the fantasy as they began. Savage x Fenty is available to watch exclusively on Amazon Prime, along with the lingerie collection from the show now available to shop.
