Rihanna Was Just Called Out For The Hairstyles At Her Savage x Fenty Fashion Show

"I love the fenty show but I think we deserved a trigger warning for seeing this many white women in braids," wrote one Twitter user, while another said, "I wish I could write something as funny as Rihanna putting all these white girls in braids for the fenty show."

Another wrote: "The braids in the new savage x fenty were a choice… haven’t seen the whole thing but the preview was interesting." Someone else added: "Not Rihanna letting nonblack ppl wear braids for her lil underwear line fashion show."

But it wasn’t just the hairstyles worn by the non-Black models that caused controversy, as the music choice also raised a lot of questions on social media too. When American model Ratajkowski walked the runway, she did so with N.E.R.D’s "Lemon" featuring Rihanna playing in the background – and more specifically, to the part that says, "Mad ethnic right now."

As you can imagine, many viewers and social media users picked up on the choice of music and lyrics when Ratajkowski was walking, with one particular comment on TikTok accumulating over 1.4 million views and receiving over 235,000 likes at the time of writing. The viral TikTok post included a snippet of Ratajkowski's part in the runway show, with a comment that said, "MAD ETHNIC?? Oop!! Not the braids lmao."

This isn’t the first time a non-Black celebrity has been accused of cultural appropriation  (we're referring to Hudgens and Ratajkowski) although this situation is somewhat unique, because the We Found Love singer most likely signed off on all the styling in advance, which is why the internet is very confused about why she allowed this to happen.
