RIHANNA

Most of the attention paid to Rihanna's “Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4” has been directed toward the brief appearance of Johnny Depp, rather than the fashion.

Kim Kardashian was honored at Monday’s annual Council of Fashion Designers of America Fashion Awards for her shapewear line and used the honor to call for designers to be inclusive for all body shapes.

After declining to perform in the 2019 halftime show, Rihanna said the timing and circumstances this time around were right for her.

Rihanna says it was “now or never” when it came to performing the Super Bowl halftime show.

Rihanna knew that if she was going to return to the stage less than a year after giving birth to her first child, the performance would have to top anything she’d done before. The singer had previously declined to perform in the 2019 halftime show out of solidarity with Colin Kaepernick. After the NFL announced in late September that Rihanna would headline the February show, hopeful rumors spread of a long-awaited new album, which she has been teasing in recent years.

Rihanna is facing backlash for including Johnny Depp in her latest “Savage X Fenty Vol. 4” fashion show. Depp and his ex, Amber Heard, were in court for a defamation trial over the summer.

Until recently, the skin of the pirarucu, the largest fish in the Amazon, had no commercial value.

Depp's appearance, which was first reported by TMZ, will be during the Savage X Fenty fashion show's "star moment."

The Super Bowl will take place at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Feb. 12.

Though she declined the offer in 2019, Rihanna is now set to headline the 2023 Super Bowl halftime show.
