The evening wear meets athleisure outfit that RiRi wore during the gorgeous runway show (Marie Antoinette at the gym) demonstrated that songstress’s chic style knows no creative bounds. In fact, Marie Antoinette gym was Rihanna’s inspiration for the entire collection. And as noted by Mic, the looks donned by Fenty’s male models proves that Rihanna has no time for oppressive gender norms in her fashion.
Pale pink satin can be feminine or masculine.
You can be a muscular dude and rock a pearl choker simultaneously.
Crop tops 4 all.
Lovely in lavender and statement necklaces.
The men and women modeling Fenty’s looks all wore some iteration of satin, pearls, and flowers — creating a totally fluid and beautiful interpretation of gender norms in fashion. While androgynous beauty is becoming more visible in the mainstream, as Mic explains, our culture does not allow men to embrace androgynous fashion as easily (think of the comments Jayden Smith has to hear).
I have no comment at the moment beyond: here it is. Well, except this: Is @rihanna an AKA? #pinkandgreen #FENTYxPUMA #PFW pic.twitter.com/ysaiTb5pa9
