Musician, Fenty beauty founder, and all-around savage Rihanna has taken to social media to share three gorgeous selfies of herself in swimwear. In the images, the singer’s hair is effortless sexy as it cascades over her shoulders in lush beach waves, the sun streaming onto her bare face. But as it turns out, the pictures aren’t *just* about how frickin' good she looks— they’re also about some good 'ol female empowerment. Read on below.
Share your thoughts on the matter in the comments section. 
Girl power statement. "When u can’t wait for summer,” Rihanna captioned the pics. But if you look a little bit closer into the shots, you’ll notice the post is about way more than just enthusiasm for sunny days. Why, you say? Because there is visible stubble on her legs and what appear to be stretch marks on her thighs.
Au natural photos. Yes, that’s right: In the au natural photos, there is visible hair on her legs and what appears to be tiger stripes on her thighs. After one eagle-eyed fan praised the singer for showing off her stretch marks, Riri clarified, writing: “I got stretch marks but that’s just the sun.” Oops!
Giving thanks. Nonetheless, the comments section of the post is jam-packed with fans thanking the singer for presenting herself so naturally. "when I’ve been insecure all the time about showing my stretch marks on my lil booty, you just gave me hope hunny 
love you always,” shared one user, as Hello Giggles reported.
Au natural photos. Meanwhile on Twitter, people have also praised the singer for the fuzz on her legs. “Rihann’s leg hair is a mood,” one user wrote. Another said: “If Rihanna doesn’t shave her legs I’m not gonna shave my legs.” LOL!
Unapologetic. It’s no secret Rihanna has always been unapologetic about sharing the “real” her. In 2017, when trolls tried to body-shame her in the comments section of a post on Instagram, she responded by stating: “Something called me too fat?" paired with laughing/crying emojis.
Fenty x Savage. The bikini photos came less than week after she released the first marketing campaign for her forthcoming linger collection, Fenty x Savage. In the advertisement, a model gets real about her own body, saying: “I think I feel most sex… in the morning. Rolls. Stretch marks. Cellulite."
Vogue profile. Additionally, Rihanna made headlines earlier in the week for her new Vogue profile. In it, the newly-turned 30-year-old opened up about everything, from her relationship status to her reaction to her cousin’s untimely death. Oh, and her semi-beef with Drake. Here, we highlight some things we learned about the star.
On turning 30. Turns out, Rihanna is a lot more like us than we thought. When she turned 30, she felt, well, weird about it. She said, “OK, so now that I’m 30, are there things I’m supposed to do? Should I be worried? Should I be freezing my eggs? What do you do at 30?!”
On love. Sorry, boys and girls: Rihanna is officially in a relationship. Though she didn’t discuss her partner by name, she confirmed that one does, in fact, exist. We’re looking at you, Hassan Jameel.
On love. “I used to feel guilty about taking personal time,” she explained to Vogue, “but I also think I never met someone who was worth it before.” Talk about cuteness overload!
On Drake. During the interview, Rihanna cleared up how she feels about Drake and, well, let’s just say it ain’t pretty. One word: D-R-A-M-A. No only did the singer “wince” at the sound of his name, she also said they weren’t friends anymore.
On Drake. While talking about the VMAs where Drizzy proclaimed his undying love for her, Riri “wince[d] slightly” and said, “We don’t have a friendship now, but we’re not enemies either. It is what it is.” Uh, yikes!
On Fenty Beauty. As it turns out, Rihanna didn’t anticipate the excitement surrounding Fenty Beaty, a collection that features a 40-shade foundation range. Though the 30-year-old said she knew she had to create shaders for darker skin tones, what she didn’t “anticipate was the way people would get emotional about finding their complexion on the shelf, that this would be a groundbreaking moment.”
On meaning behind the name of her lingerie line. To Rihanna, the new line, Savage x Fenty, is not just a brand, but a lifestyle. "Savage is really about taking complete ownership of how you feel and the choices you make. Basically making sure everybody knows the ball is in your court,” she explained.“As women, we’re looked at as the needy ones, the naggy ones, the ones who are going to be heartbroken in a relationship. Savage is just the reverse. And you know, guys don’t like getting the cards flipped on them—ever.”
On her love for Lisa Vanderpump. And finally, Rihanna opened up about her love for Lisa Vanderpump. “She’s chic but still funny,” the singer explained. "She likes to be at home with her husband and then goes and handles her business. Maybe there’s a couple of thousand Birkins in her closet, but she’s still focused. I love that about her.”
