Kanye West isn't the only music mogul taking over New York Fashion Week. 

On Friday night the pop princess presented her first collection for Puma to a crowd of celebrities and fashion influencers under the name Fenty x Puma. 

As the brand's creative director of womenswear, RiRi showed a line of black and white gothic athleisure that stayed true to her personal style.

Unlike Kanye's Yeezy Season 3 show the day before, Rihanna opted for a more traditional catwalk, keeping the focus on the collection and less on the spectacle surrounding it.
