In an interview with Alexa Chung during "Vogue" Festival 2015, Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing praised Rihanna by stylistically comparing her to some of the biggest fashion icons in music history, such as Madonna, David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Prince. Commenting on the cultural expectation for pop stars to be role models, Rihanna said "a role model became more of my job than I wanted it to be. But no, I just want to make music. That's it". In a May 2013 interview with MTV, "The Vagina Monologues" writer and feminist Eve Ensler praised the singer, saying, "I'm a huge Rihanna fan, I think she has a kind of agency over her sexuality and she's open about her sexuality, she has enormous grace and she's immensely talented."
