Before her Fenty x Savage lingerie fashion show, Rihanna revealed that she’d love to collaborate with Lizzo on her brand.
“Gosh I love Lizzo. She’s so badass,”Rihanna toldEntertainment Tonight.“I would collaborate with her on the lights for this interview right now, like Lizzo is so badass.”
Last month, Lizzo toldEntertainment TonightthatRihanna slid into her DMs“to tell me that I performed good.”
“She said I f—–ed the stage like it was my side bitch,” Lizzo toldET. “Don’t get mad, Rihanna. I am not trying to blow up your spot, but that was a hard ass line! I might take that line.”
She also revealed that she’d love to collaborate with the superstar. “I am not going to bother her, ’cause I know what that feels like, so I am going to let her do what she ought to do. I love Rihanna,” Lizzo said.
Looks like the time has come for a collab on her next Savage x Fenty line.
For now, Rihanna just debuted her latest collection at a performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Tuesday. She created a full dance show while unveiling her latest lingerie designs. The fashion spectacular jam-packed with musical performances will air on Amazon Prime Video on Sept. 20.

“Oh my God I’m too involved. I want a break but I’m a control freak so I do everything,” Rihanna toldETabout her commitment to the line. “I see everything. There’s not one step of the way, there’s not one lace trim, there’s not one bra strap, there’s not one hardware color, there is not one bow on a panty that I do not see and approve.”

She admitted that it’s a lot of work, but her consumers’ needs are always in the back of her mind.
“Here, I have a unique opportunity to change things,” she said. “I’ve always been so sincere with my perspective on this brand but to see the way that we’re perceived in the lingerie world, to see people feeling included it also puts a different pressure on me. It makes me feel like now we cannot neglect those consumers. Now that consumer is one that’s been neglected before and I’m not going to let that happen here.”
Rihanna has long been praised for making strides towards increased inclusivity and body diversity in the fashion world and during herFenty clothing pop-upat The Webster in New York City in June,fans went wildwhen she featured curvy mannequins modeling her designs throughout the store.
And last year, model Slick Woods famously walked the runway in lingerie while 9 months pregnant, and actuallyclosed the show while in labor.
Here’s hoping a collaboration with Lizzo is next on Rihanna’s to-do list.
