Rihanna embraces the female figure in all its forms.

On Thursday night, at the Savage X Fenty singer's lingerie show – the grand finale of New York Fashion Week – women of all sizes walked by, including a model who appeared to be pregnant about nine months.

In an interview with reporters, Rihanna explained that her goal was to toast women "in all forms and in all types of bodies and all races and cultures".

"It's a celebration of femininity," she said, according to Vogue magazine. "I think it's unfortunate that women feel unsafe or misguided by the way their bodies look. Society taught them that only one thing works. "

According to the fashion magazine, Rihanna's show featured Paloma Elsesser, a regular at fashion shows, Gigi and Bella Hadid, models Joan Smalls and Fenty, Slick Woods.

Rihanna's focus on empowerment, however, is not over with an inclusive casting. She also came out with a heart-shaped whip, which she said was meant to encourage women to try new things.

"You never know what night you're going to have, so why not mix?" she says.
