Rihanna [1] is the ultimate educator. She's taught listeners about love, heartbreak, and self-reliance over the span of eight albums. She showed the fashion industry what real representation looks like [2] on the runway. She set the standard for inclusive foundation shade ranges [3]. And now, she's quietly nudging shoppers toward butt cleavage.
The entrepreneurial singer's Savage x Fenty lingerie brand has been selling a certain pair of mesh, butt-baring, crotchless leggings [4] for quite some time, but one recent TikTok drew attention to the daring intimate item [5] that boasts a "playful surprise." Though the original video, which misidentified the leggings as being Fabletics, has since been deleted, a conversation about butt cleavage was sparked on the app nonetheless, with some scandalized and others tantalized.
Now, a few things are worth mentioning: Savage x Fenty is not an activewear brand. (Yet.) These aren't workout leggings. As the description states, these are meant for a "cozy night in." Rihanna [6] isn't suggesting you wear these to your local aquatic trampoline dance-cardio class. (Yet?) And also, be advised that Savage x Fenty sells several open-back leggings [7]. Know that. Embrace that. Shop ahead.
