Rihanna made an appearance at the Place de la République during Paris Fashion Week, where the Montreal-based brand Matières Fécales, founded by Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran, presented its spring-summer 2027 collection. This marked the first time a fashion show was held at the location in the history of fashion. The brand, known for its provocative name and subversive aesthetic, has previously dressed celebrities such as Zendaya and designed the wedding dress for Gabbriette. Rihanna wore a luminous look signed by the house, including a corset under a golden suit made of thousands of metallic threads, aligning with the brand's dystopian aesthetic. The show featured several strong moments, with the brand aiming to denounce the excesses and overconsumption of the fashion industry. The collection mixed family traditions, roots, heritage, commitment, and revolution to create a portrait of modern France. A notable moment involved three Black individuals recreating the French flag in blue, white, and red, a nod to a 2023 Dazed magazine cover featuring three veiled women. The show was divided into three acts. The first act focused on family, featuring a pregnant woman, a mother, a sister, and a niece of Steven Raj Bhaskaran. Opalescent dresses with devoured effects, pleated tulle, and black skirt suits were showcased, with religious references such as the figure of the nun. The second act was more punk and rebellious, featuring the word "RESIST" on jersey dresses and denim that was frayed and mishandled. The third act included couture pieces such as crinoline ball gowns and golden body-hugging silhouettes evoking the Statue of Liberty, revisiting history in an inclusive way. Steven Raj Bhaskaran explained that the show, titled The 99 Percent, aimed to highlight marginalized communities and included 99 racially diverse models. The location, Place de la République, was chosen to represent "the real Paris" according to Bhaskaran, contrasting with more bourgeois environments like Place Vendôme or the Louvre. The show also featured notable Parisian figures such as former top Farida Khelfa, journalist Rokhaya Diallo, and model, artist, and activist Claude-Emmanuelle.
