The Growing friendship between Rihanna and GloRilla

Riri and GloRilla’s relationship has evolved into a significant professional partnership. The major announcement in early 2025 declared GloRilla as the pioneer joint ambassador across Riri's entire Fenty brand portfolio, including Savage X Fenty and Fenty Beauty, alongside Fenty Skin and Fenty Hair.

GloRilla served as the first ambassador in history for all four of Riri's Fenty brands through her appearance in the Glo Up Close campaign, which featured her in the Savage X Fenty Puff Cherries collection. GloRilla shared in a statement:

“I’m beyond excited to be the first joint partner for Fenty brands for spring 2025, Rihanna has always been such an icon and inspiration and being chosen to represent her vision across Savage x Fenty and Fenty Beauty is an honor. This spring season is all about celebrating confidence, boldness, and embracing your glow. I can’t wait for y’all to experience it all.”

The Glo Up Close campaign served as a milestone through her participation in the February campaign because she has followed Riri since her early years as a fan.

In an interview with BET, GloRilla shared:

“I always tell her thank you,”. “Rihanna talks like really one of the homegirls. Whenever I talk to her, she talks like we homegirls for real. It be crazy that I get to talk to her like that ‘cause I’ve been a big fan of Rihanna since I was a little-a** kid.”

The Sunray Lace collection, along with other Fenty campaigns, established GloRilla as a vital brand ambassador for Fenty's marketing strategies.
