Christina Milian talks shooting her Savage x Fenty lingerie campaign in quarantine
Christina Milian stunned fans with her sexy Savage x Fenty lingerie campaign in April, less than three months after the birth of her son Isaiah. And as it turns out, her boyfriend Matt Pokora was the one behind the lens.
“Matt took those first Savage x Fenty photos at home,” Milian, 38, told Page Six Style. “All my photos you’ve seen [recently] have either been taken with a self-timer on my phone, Matt’s taken them or [my 10-year-old daughter] Violet’s taken them.”
The “Dip It Low” singer, who joined the likes of Normani and Tinashe as an ambassador for Rihanna’s label last month, said she thought it was “pretty damn cool” when the pop icon’s team approached her about a partnership.
“Rihanna’s such a great representation of a woman who loves herself, loves her body, is confident and not afraid to show her power. She owns it,” Milian told us, explaining that she aims to follow the bad gal’s lead.
“I’m happy with my body after baby. My weight fluctuates, especially now; one week I’m keto, the next I’m eating Fritos! But I don’t mind. And I think that’s what she’s looking for: women who love who they are and have confidence.”

Milian will keep the cameras rolling at home for her new remotely produced Facebook Watch series with Kin, called “What Happens at Home.”
Launching May 14, the show offers an inside look at her family’s life during lockdown, including Milian’s experiments in the kitchen — “Not all of the things that I’ve made have been successful,” she admits — along with how she’s keeping her kids entertained and carving out time for fitness.
“I’m convinced that if you put on workout clothes, you’ll find some point in the day to get in a little cardio,” Milian joked, pointing to Denim Dolls as one of her favorite sources for activewear and adding that she’s also been living in loungewear.
“At the beginning of all this, I went online and got all these really cute matching sweats. A lot of tie dye; things with a little bit of personality. I have some really cute Savage x Fenty lounge sets, and JLUXLABEL has some really cute sweats that I can wear out with heels after quarantine,” she said. “I don’t want to look like a bum in front of my man, so that’s why I mix it up!”
Not having access to professional hair and makeup during the coronavirus crisis hasn’t proven to be much of a problem for the star. “I’ve always been a ‘make it happen’ kind of girl,” Milian said. “I like doing my own! And being where we are now, it’s been very helpful to know how. It also saves a lot of money, by the way.”

And while it’s hard to indulge in luxurious home beauty treatments when you’re busy taking care of two children, the “AM to PM” singer said she always makes time to use a particular product from Lush: the brand’s Cup O’Coffee scrub ($11.95).
“I haven’t had a pedicure or a manicure in forever, and it’s really great at smoothing and awakening your skin,” she told us. “It’s gonna get to the point where I run out and have to make my own!”
A ideal recipe to tackle in an upcoming episode of “What Happens at Home,” perhaps.
