Rihanna has named Normani as the first-ever brand ambassador for Savage X Fenty. Normani is officially the face of Rihanna’s lingerie brand.
Rihanna and Normani previously worked together when Normani appeared at a Savage X Fenty runway show this September.
Check out the announcement on her Instagram page:
In an interview with Vogue, Normani said, “I was very excited and really honored, especially that the ask came from Rihanna herself.”
“I know that this is her passion project, something she genuinely and wholeheartedly believes in and cares about. And the fact that she wanted me to be a part of that meant a lot to me,” she continued.
2019 has been a huge year for Normani. Last year, she went solo from former girl group Fifth Harmony. Then this year, she proceeded to drop a lot of successful collaborations including “Love Lies” with Khalid.
Then, Normani dropped huge single “Motivation” earlier this year and solidified her place as a Gen Z pop princess. As if that wasn’t enough, she killed it at Halloween as Naomi Campbell.
On the other hand, Rihanna has spent 2019 building her Fenty brand of lingerie and makeup. Rumour has it that the launch of Savage x Fenty is indirectly responsible for the fall of Victoria’s Secrets.
Rihanna also published a “visual autobiography” album instead of an actual music album to torture fans waiting on new music.
