In celebration of her latest FENTY release, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) awarded Rihanna with its Compassion in Fashion Award. The title was given in honor of the businesswoman’s latest collection of faux-leather clothing.
In a statement, PETA’s Senior Vice President Lisa Lange thanked the highly-decorated singer for her luxury clothing brand’s latest move. “Rihanna should take a bow for this stunning cruelty-free collection. With her new vegan collection, Rihanna shows how easy it is to create a killer look that no animal had to die for.”
She proves that #VeganFashion can make you shine bright like a diamond!

The drop features corset dresses, pants, shirts and more in neutral tones. In 2019, the “Work” singer debuted her collection, adding to her Fenty empire that includes makeup, lingerie, and in a cover story for British Vogue, a possible skincare line.
In the beginning of launching her clothing line, Rihanna shared with Vogue that working with designers in the past informed her navigation of this sector of fashion. “I started off by being an endorser of brands, lending my likeness and my face to fashion brands, but this is totally different,” she said. “Everything I’ve learned so far has led me to this moment.”
