00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Don't think it was lost on me
00:05 that you have golden hair for the golden hour.
00:08 I was like, "Oh, I see what you're doing, girlfriend."
00:10 - And the lighting is set up.
00:11 - Girl, I have been waiting to get my hands on you.
00:14 This is the one interview,
00:15 I have been in this industry for decades.
00:17 - Are you kidding me?
00:18 - And I have not got my hands on the Rihanna yet.
00:19 - You are so sweet and gorgeous.
00:21 - Thank you so much.
00:22 - Such a pleasure to meet you.
00:23 - It is such an honor to meet you.
00:24 I'm just a good girl that's gone bad, Rihanna.
00:26 I'm just a good girl that's gone bad.
00:28 - You are the only woman who could put
00:30 the golden hour in a bottle.
00:32 - Wow. - Yes.
00:34 - Did you get this done inside?
00:35 - I did, like I decked it out, I made it customized.
00:37 It says Francesca XO Rihanna on it.
00:40 - I mean, guys, you need to come to a Fenty Beauty event.
00:43 All right, you see what's going down over here?
00:46 - So much fun.
00:46 - Gold on a golden hour bottle.
00:49 - Talk to me about the process for something like this.
00:51 I felt so illuminated like a diamond.
00:54 - Yes, this is our soft lit, luminescent,
00:58 naturally found, natural luminescent foundation.
01:02 And it is one of my favorites.
01:05 It's actually kind of embarrassing
01:06 because I just scraped out the last out of my sample bottles
01:11 of the final formula and I finally got
01:14 my frosted weighted bottle.
01:16 So I'm feeling really good about that.
01:18 It's one of those things where you just like,
01:21 you want skin, you want to put on foundation
01:24 'cause you want correction, you want a glow.
01:26 You don't want it to be greasy,
01:28 but you don't want it to be too matte.
01:30 This is that, this is what that is.
01:32 And I called it golden hour in the bottle
01:34 because that's exactly what it represents for me.
01:38 - And I know you are one of those girls who hates shiny,
01:40 but one thing we know about Rihanna is that she has
01:43 the most gorgeous golden hour filters out there.
01:45 And I guess it's thanks to that cockadoo plum extract.
01:48 (laughing)
01:49 - I got it, I got it.
01:50 - Oh my God, that tripped me up so many times.
01:53 Cockadoo plum extract.
01:57 - I know that right now you're away from your babies,
01:58 you're away from ASAP right now,
02:00 but you're handling work, you are a busy mama
02:02 and we love that for you. - Thank you.
02:04 - Do you ever like run the ideas by ASAP
02:06 during pillow talk, like do you run some test products
02:09 or some ideas by him?
02:10 - Sometimes, but now I don't really have to
02:12 because he's not running ideas by me
02:15 because he just created a Lux Bomb for our brand.
02:19 So it's like he doesn't even have to steal
02:21 my plush pudding anymore.
02:23 He has his own.
02:24 Now I got to steal his lip balm.
02:27 So it's kind of like working out in my favor.
02:29 - That is the cutest.
02:30 I love you are a boss mom, you are a boss in general,
02:33 but you have two under two.
02:35 I wanna talk about them.
02:36 I would imagine baby RZA and Ryan,
02:38 I mean you leave the house every day
02:40 and they inspire you so much.
02:41 How do they inspire your work, mom?
02:43 - I mean, they gotta eat for one.
02:46 We gotta work, okay.
02:48 But they bring purpose to every aspect of my life.
02:53 Everything has to be intentional
02:56 and everything has to be worth it.
02:59 And especially when it takes me away from them.
03:02 So even like tonight, this is totally worth it.
03:04 This is the biggest launch we've had
03:07 since we've launched this brand in 2017.
03:09 So come on now.
03:10 - And I can only imagine how when you go into your house,
03:13 you got ASAP over here.
03:15 So it's like all these boys in the house.
03:16 You got RZA, you got Ryan, you got two under two.
03:18 Girl, I don't know how you're doing it.
03:20 What is it like being the queen in that kingdom?
03:23 - You know what?
03:24 It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom.
03:27 I get to be as casual and busted as I want to,
03:31 but it also forces me to embrace the epic things
03:36 about being a woman and a female and all my femininity.
03:41 It just like, I embrace it so much more now.
03:44 Like I wear pink.
03:46 - You never used to do that.
03:47 - Right, who's that?
03:48 - You were a tomboy, weren't you a tomboy back then?
03:49 - I know.
03:50 - Tomboy, all boy house.
03:51 - I go between jerseys and like, I'm wearing a dress today.
03:55 I'm the only one in this house who can do that right now.
03:57 - Is that how they have influenced you as a boy mom?
04:00 Now you feel like you should be even more feminine
04:03 coming into your energy?
04:04 - You know, it just kind of highlights all of the things
04:07 about being a woman because I'm the one,
04:11 I'm the one that can experience all of that in the house.
04:15 Giving birth to them, carrying them,
04:18 being a partner with Rocky and running a household
04:21 and the family, it's new territory,
04:23 but it's like, it's empowering.
04:25 - I'm looking at just, this isn't even like part
04:29 of the interview, but it really is.
04:31 To stand here and look at you, like,
04:33 I was just watching an interview that you did on Ellen
04:35 when you were 21 years young.
04:37 And you were talking about just getting
04:38 that tattoo right there.
04:39 And to see you, no, but to see where you evolved
04:43 and how you said, she said something about you being 31
04:45 and being in love.
04:46 And you were like, I better be in love by the time I'm 31.
04:49 I want to have kids too.
04:50 It's just crazy how you manifested your future
04:52 and look at you now.
04:54 - You gotta be careful with your words, kids.
04:56 (laughing)
04:58 - I don't even remember that.
05:01 - Yes you do.
05:02 - Well, what else did I say?
05:03 (laughing)
05:04 - 21 years young.
05:05 - My final question for you, you know,
05:07 obviously the Met Gala's around the corner.
05:08 It's just a few days before your son's birthday on May 10th.
05:12 - Yeah, uh-huh.
05:13 - It's May the 13th.
05:14 - May, wait, did they just publish the article on May 10th?
05:16 And I gotta go?
05:17 - I mean, who knows, girl.
05:19 - Who was born on May 13th?
05:20 - My feet.
05:21 - Which one, are you sure?
05:22 - Yeah, my first.
05:23 (laughing)
05:24 - Friday the 13th, I'll never forget.
05:26 - Girl, I read it was May 10th, I was like, excuse me?
05:27 - I was there, you know.
05:29 (laughing)
05:30 - May 13th, so before I go into my last question then,
05:32 I gotta say, 'cause I'm a Taurus too, so May 6th is mine.
05:34 - Ooh, so maybe I do like Tauruses.
05:37 - Oh, girlfriend, we're the best, we're the best.
05:38 - Yeah, my son, when I got a Taurus, I was like,
05:41 damn it, do I like Tauruses?
05:43 - Yeah, why don't you go there?
05:44 - I love 'em.
05:45 - Well, can you tell me just a little bit about 'em?
05:47 What do you love about your two sons?
05:48 - Oh my gosh, they're completely different.
05:50 So I'm having completely two different experiences,
05:53 two different adventures, two different journeys,
05:56 two different sizes, two different clothes,
05:57 two different attitudes.
05:59 I love how different they are.
06:01 I get to celebrate their uniqueness in every way.
06:05 I enjoy it, yep.
06:06 - Final question, you know what it is,
06:07 all about fashion, baby.
06:09 Met Gala's coming up, and you are literally
06:11 the queen of the ball, and I'm not just saying that
06:12 because you're standing here.
06:13 It's Rihanna, and she literally steals the show at Met Gala.
06:16 So besides wearing, of course, Fenty Beauty.
06:19 - I'm coming in as an extra this year.
06:20 - Oh, an extra, what is that feeling?
06:23 - I'm coming for dinner.
06:24 - What's your outfit gonna look like?
06:28 - Really like chill.
06:30 - Chill?
06:30 - Yeah, I know, you think I'm lying, it's chill.
06:33 - Like just one color, like black, white?
06:36 - Just, just, well.
06:39 - Why are you leaning into simple this year?
06:41 - Because I'm a mom, I don't got time for a lot of shit.
06:44 (laughing)
06:46 - And we gonna leave it on that.
06:48 Thank you so much, Rihanna, seriously.
