On April 2019, Rihanna's cosmetics brand Fenty Beauty received criticism on social media for naming one of its highlighters "Geisha Chic", with some users seeing it as an example of the fetishization of Geishas in America. In response, the brand issued an apology and pulled the highlighter until it could be renamed. Rihanna herself received some accusations of cultural appropriation on Twitter and Instagram in July the very same year after dressing up in Ancient Chinese-styled attire for a "Harper's Bazaar" photoshoot, in spite of a positive reception from netizens in China.
