Rihanna invited Vivian Wilson, the transgender daughter of billionaire Elon Musk, to participate in a Valentine’s Day promotional campaign for her lingerie brand Savage x Fenty, according to the Daily Mail on January 8th.

Vivian Wilson (21 years old), the daughter of the Tesla founder who has a strained relationship with him, appeared as a lingerie model to promote Rihanna’s new collection, Love So Savage: A Modern Ode to Aphrodite . In some photos, Vivian Wilson is pictured with actress Lovie Simone and plus-size model Emma Arletta, posing in front of classic-style marble statues.

A remarkable career advancement for Elon Musk’s daughter.

To complete the look, Vivian Wilson wore bright red tights, her hair was styled straight past her shoulders, and she accessorized with long gold earrings and bold red lipstick.

Speaking to Vanity Fair about the experience, Vivian Wilson admitted she was extremely nervous. Before that, she rarely showed her skin, even avoiding wearing a swimsuit when going to the beach with friends. However, Vivian Wilson said that participating in the photoshoot helped her build confidence and prove it to herself.

Vivian Wilson appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue in March 2025. Two months later, she officially debuted as a model in collaboration with the fashion brand Wildfang. In May 2025, Vivian Wilson continued to model for the lingerie brand Tomboyx.

Speaking about life in the spotlight, Vivian Wilson once shared with The Cut that she wasn’t really good at being famous. She said she used to long to be seen as an ordinary person and sometimes still misses that feeling, even though she’s gradually adapted to fame now.

Vivian Wilson is the eldest daughter of Elon Musk and his ex-wife Justine Wilson. At age 16, she publicly came out as transgender and two years later filed a petition to have her father’s surname removed from her name, amid a growing rift in their relationship.

Speaking to Teen Vogue , Vivian Wilson candidly stated that she doesn’t care what her father thinks and is bothered by being constantly associated with his name. Currently, Vivian Wilson is very active on social media with approximately 1 million followers on Instagram, where she often shares about her modeling work and the events she attends.
