The third annual fashion show for pop star Rihanna's lingerie brand Savage X Fenty has come under fire online, apparently due to a particular hairstyle sported by some of the non-Black participants of the event.While the event was largely praised online “for its celebration and wardrobe meant for all shapes of bodies”, a number of viewers took note that celebrities like Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Ratajkowski were “styled with braids”, and “deemed it a look exclusive to Black people”, as Fox News puts it.“Now why the hell did Rihanna have white dancers in braids on the fenty x savage show,” one netizen inquired, with at least several others echoing their sentiment.Some, however, argued in response that “braids don't belong to one race”.As Breitbart points out, last year Rihanna was also accused of cultural appropriation over a song, Coucou Chloe’s “Doom”, that was used during the performance at the show, and which “contained sampled Islamic phrases called 'Hadith'.”
