Rihanna, she’s just like us. She loves her wine to the exclusion of most other inanimate objects, she enjoys wearing fuzzy objects on the regular, she counts Naomi Campbell as one of her fashion icons. The only difference between Robyn Fenty and us, really, is that she’s now welcome to phone Naoms at any time of night and regularly receives beauty care packages from her childhood idol cum best friend for life.
In a recent Instagram post, RiRi fanned out, much like we would, at the sight of Naomi modeling her Fenty ready-to-wear designs in the September issue of Vogue Italia (for which Campbell also modeled Riccardo Tisci for Nike and Yeezy for Adidas). Styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele, the Fenty branch of the editorial features Naomi in white thigh-high boots (Rihanna’s preferred length), a hoodie accented with corset-like lacing, gothic-lettered headbands and more. Campbell lends her tough edge to the gym-chic line, which we first glimpsed at Fenty’s inaugural fashion show last February (Naomi sat front row, of course). The much-anticipated streetwear collection will hit stores September 6 and, like everything else RiRi touches, is sure to sell out.
COMING SOON! My #FENTYXPUMA debut collection drops September 6.

Complementing Naomi’s badass shot is Rihanna’s aww-worthy caption. “This is a crazy feeling, man!” Rihanna shared with her #Navy, before addressing her bestie directly. “From the very first moment in your career, you’ve touched and inspired so many young girls all over the world! I was one of them, and to see this come full circle is a trip, to say the least!”
Then Rihanna got personal, switching from talk of careers to talk of the things that really nourish their bond: “I’m blessed to have you as a friend, one that will pick up the phone at any hour of the night, one that still makes time even when she has none, just to send me vitamins and facial products, or even tanning oil for my vacation lol!!! That’s why these photos mean so much more to me, you’re a True beauty, One love!”
We’d gladly sacrifice sleep to be on one of those calls. And also, what magical vitamins are these? We must know.
