Rihanna has once again used her influential platform to support the LGBTQIA+ community, giving her co-sign to Vivian James Wilson, the estranged trans daughter of Elon Musk, by featuring her in the highly anticipated Savage X Fenty Valentine’s Day collection.
The 21-year-old model, who has chosen to distance herself from her billionaire father, appeared in promotional images wearing a rose-print black bra paired with a matching miniskirt.
Rihanna herself donned a bold red ensemble, declaring, “Aphrodite was a savage,” in line with her brand’s ethos of confidence, inclusivity, and empowerment. Other campaign participants included plus-size model Emma Arletta and actress Lovie Simone.
Wilson, Musk’s eldest child with his first wife, Justine Musk, came out as transgender in 2020. Since then, the pair have had minimal contact, with Musk publicly criticizing her transition on social media.
Despite this, Wilson has steadily carved her own path in the fashion industry, landing runway gigs and even a Teen Vogue cover.
Her inclusion in Savage X Fenty marks a significant step in her modeling career and underscores Rihanna’s ongoing commitment to uplifting marginalized voices within the fashion world.
The collaboration also subtly signals the singer’s stance on issues surrounding Wilson’s highly publicized family struggles, while continuing to champion diversity and representation.
The upcoming Valentine’s Day collection campaign rollout is expected to draw attention for both its bold aesthetic and its celebration of individuality, identity, and self-expression.
