Rihanna kicked off the holiday season by sharing festive lingerie photos on Instagram to promote Savage X Fenty’s Holiday 2026 collection, and the post neared 1 million likes within hours. The 38 year old singer and mogul posed among Christmas trees and wrapped gifts with a caption joking that being naughty makes you the gift.
The look landed, but the comment section had another wish. Fans flooded her post asking for new music, and they have a reason to hope. Just last month, Rihanna told fans she is sitting on a large stash of unreleased songs.
What did Rihanna post for Savage X Fenty?
The photos show Rihanna in pink, red and black lace with black thigh high stockings and heels, posed between Christmas trees and stacks of wrapped presents. In some shots, she wears an oversized striped bow, turning herself into the present. One look is the brand’s Fleur Fantasy Lace Teddy.
Savage X Fenty shared images from the shoot on its own page too, telling followers to consider their holiday shopping handled.

Is this part of a Savage X Fenty holiday collection?
Yes. The campaign is promoting the brand’s Holiday 2026 collection. And the rollout has been a family affair. In a separate campaign, Rihanna posed in striped satin pajamas with her children, and the brand noted that the tiny satin sets were made exclusively for RZA, Riot and Rocki.
That is the Fenty formula. Rihanna launched Savage X Fenty in 2018 with a promise to show women of every size, shade and shape, and she still fronts the campaigns herself. Eight years later, a Black woman from Barbados is still setting the tone for how lingerie gets sold, on her own terms.
Why do fans keep asking about new music?
Because she keeps hinting. During a Fenty Beauty TikTok livestream last month, Rihanna revealed that she has a large catalog of unreleased songs, a decade after her most recent studio album. Her last album, Anti, came out in 2016, and the Navy has been waiting ever since.
So when she posed as a holiday gift, fans did what fans do. Many asked if a Christmas album was coming. Others said the only present they want is new music. One commenter pointed out that she has released plenty of products, just not an album.
Those are fan comments, not announcements. But the timing is hard to ignore. A full vault, a holiday season and a fanbase that has stayed loyal for ten years without a new record makes every post feel like a possible clue.
What’s going on with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky?
Life looks good at home. In October, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky enjoyed a date night at the Laugh Factory’s Chocolate Sundaes Comedy Show in Los Angeles, according to The Shade Room, with photos showing her resting her head on his shoulder. The couple shares three children, and plenty of commenters joked about the family growing again. That is also fan chatter, not news.
What hasn’t Rihanna confirmed?
Rihanna has not announced a Christmas album, a new single or a release date for new music. She has not said when, or whether, any of the unreleased songs she mentioned will come out.
For now, the only confirmed drop is the holiday collection. The music is still under the tree, unopened.
