What to Know
Vivian Jenna Wilson has scored a new modeling gig. The 21-year-old social media personality and model made her New York Fashion Week debut in 2025, and now, she’s modeling for Rihanna’s brand. Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty brand recently released its Valentine’s Day 2026 collection, “Love So Savage: A Modern Ode to Aphrodite.”
Rihanna herself models the collection in photos shared via social media, but she also had several other models join her, including Vivian.
Vivian was photographed alongside other models.
For the Valentine’s Day campaign, she posed with actor Lovie Simone and model Emma Arletta. Vivian wore Savage X Fenty’s Sinful Rose Printed Lace Balconette Bra, a matching skirt, and bright red tights. People online loved this for her — and assumed that her estranged father, Elon Musk, did not share the same enthusiasm.
“I bet Elon is fuming his daughter was asked to appear in this campaign and I love that for him,” one person wrote on Reddit. “I hope Vivian continues to get booked.”
Elon recently made headlines when he chose to misgender and deadname his estranged daughter on social media. In his post, he claimed that Vivian “has a tragic mental illness caused by the evil woke mind virus.” People on social media were disgusted by the hate and transphobia Elon directed at his own daughter (though he claimed to love her in that same post).
People have frequently commented on how Vivian seems like a much better person than her dad.
They actually continue to be surprised that Elon has a daughter who is so … cool and “fierce.” Reacting to the Savage X Fenty campaign on Reddit, one person wrote, “I love this. Vivian is amazing! I am such a fan of her snark and I can’t believe someone so lovely came from [Elon].” Someone else chimed in with, “Ironically she’s one of the best things he’s ever produced.”
Vivian previously told The Cut that RuPaul’s Drag Race is what inspired her to pursue modeling.
“The ways different queens would make the catwalk their own, notably Vivacious and Shea Coulée, were really captivating to me,” she told the publication. “That appreciation of the runway turned into an equal appreciation for digital and photography modeling. I’ve always been interested in it, and I feel like I’m pretty good at it. I’m looking forward to exploring it as my career moves along.”
In addition to gracing the covers of The Cut and Teen Vogue, Vivian previously modeled for Wildfang’s Say My Name campaign.
