(Photo by Paul Morigi/WireImage) Paul Morigi—WireImage by [Ashley Hoffman](https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/) ## Ashley Hoffman Sep 11, 2017 2:18 PM UTC [Rihanna’s whole life](http://time.com/4852121/rihanna-jet-ski/) may have already been a mic drop, but her Fashion Week exit is a new high point. For her [Fenty x Puma](http://time.com/4875453/rihanna-brigitte-macron/) show on Sunday in New York City, models like Adriana Lima paraded around massive sand dunes the color of Pepto-Bismol zipped up in motocross-themed lycra jumpsuits. But it was the three motocross riders who opened and closed the event with some death-defying tricks who stole the show. For her victory lap, Rihanna hopped onto one of the motocross bikes and waved goodbye to everyone as she roared around. In doing so, she has now provided everyone with the perfect picture for times when you need to communicate that a legend is exiting the scene. You know, if bosses and bad gals making power moves are your thing. Speaking of bad gals, Whoopi Goldberg, Ashley Graham and Cardi B were in the audience, but good thing everyone who didn’t get an invite will always have these moments. > [](https://twitter.com/EmiliaPetrarca/status/907056285153144833) > [](https://twitter.com/rebecamaccise/status/907061508089282560) > [](https://twitter.com/fvshiondvting/status/907128802681253889) > [](https://twitter.com/yungcyberprince/status/907061437381705728) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4935748/rihanna-nyfw-motorbike/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4935748/rihanna-nyfw-motorbike/"},"headline":"Rihanna Defining Transportation Goals on a Motorbike Is a Gift to the Internet","datePublished":"2017-09-11T14:18:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:47:07.349Z","description":"Rihanna riding a motorbike at New York Fashion Week is already the best thing on the internet.","url":"https://time.com/4935748/rihanna-nyfw-motorbike/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","fashion","new york fashion week","Rihanna"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt48a7009018cab87f/6988dd36bc6cfc2ba93e3059/gettyimages-845450732.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Ashley Hoffman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/ashley-hoffman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt48a7009018cab87f/6988dd36bc6cfc2ba93e3059/gettyimages-845450732.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Fenty Puma By Rihanna - Front Row & Backstage - September 2017 - New York Fashion Week","caption":"Fenty Puma By Rihanna - Front Row & Backstage - September 2017 - New York Fashion Week","creditText":"Paul Morigi—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4935748/rihanna-nyfw-motorbike/","name":"Rihanna Defining Transportation Goals on a Motorbike Is a Gift to the Internet"}}]}] ```
