Johnny Depp will be among the many famous faces appearing in Rihanna’s upcoming “Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4”
Johnny Depp won’t just be wearing a look from the singer’s size- and gender-inclusive lingerie line, but will be the first male model to have a featured “star” moment in the brand’s history.
The latest “Savage X Fenty” fashion showcase, set for release Wednesday on Amazon Prime, will feature appearances from other stars such as Winston Duke, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Simu Liu, Taraji P. Henson, Irina Shayk, Marsai Martin, Cara Delevingne and Rihanna herself, alongside musical performances from Burna Boy and Anitta.
Rihanna’s inclusion of Depp in the new special ― her fourth fashion experience on Amazon Prime since 2019 ― has already proved to be a divisive choice from the billionaire fashion and beauty mogul.
Others defended the singer, with one writing that “she can have whoever she wants in her own show.”
“Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 4” is arriving months after Depp appeared virtually during MTV’s Video Music Awards in August, dressed as the ceremony’s mascot. The event was his first on-camera appearance since the defamation trial came to a close in June.
Depp, however, is seemingly more employable than he’s been in years.
In addition to re-upping a seven-figure, multiyear contract with fashion company Dior, he’s set to star as King Louis XV in the upcoming period drama “Jeanne du Barry.” He’ll also make his return to the director’s chair with the biopic “Modigliani,” following Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani during a watershed moment in his career.
As for Rihanna, her new fashion show arrives as she charts a return to music, with her first single in over six years dropping last month. The ballad “Lift Me Up” is featured on the soundtrack to the upcoming Marvel sequel “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
Her comeback will seemingly reach a crescendo with a long-rumored new album and a headlining performance at the Super Bowl halftime show set for February.
