Rihanna has been the CEO of her Savage x Fenty brand since 2018.
She recently announced she’d be stepping down as the head of the lingerie company.
Hillary Super was announced as her replacement on June 22r.
Rihanna has been the head of her ubiquitous Savage x Fenty brand for five years, expertly hawking sexy lingerie for all body types and celebrating the beauty of the human physique with stylish looks. Sometimes, she even courted controversy through the brand — in November of 2022, she invited the embattled ex-husband of Amber Heard, actor Johnny Depp, to model in her Savage X Fenty Vol. 4 show.
Now, that five-year era has ended. The “Umbrella” hitmaker, who became a billionaire in 2021, announced she’d be stepping back as CEO of the company. “It’s been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years,” she said in a June 22 statement to Vogue Business. “This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer.”

She’s starting her new job soon.
According to Vogue, Hillary is expected to assume leadership over the brand almost immediately, on June 26.
