Inspired by the immense success of last year's 'Fenty's Playground' that was introduced in Madrid, Wildbytes, Rihanna and Sephora teamed up for an all-new [immersive experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superdrug-beauty-playground) to kick off the launch of [Fenty Beauty's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fenty-beauty-cafe) 'Summer Body' collection.

To introduce consumers to the newest summer beauty essentials from the brand, a new activation was created for the Millennial consumer. Interactive experiential agency Wildbytes invited fans, influencers and celebrities to generate tons of [social content for the launch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/london-newsstand-popup) of the range based on three Fenty Beauty products.

At the 'Summer Body Pool,' fans got to dive into a ball pit of pom-poms and have confetti rain down on them. 'Stunna Confessions' gave fans the chance to stand before a life-sized bottle of lip paint and make a confession to be recorded, broadcasted and projected at the event. The final station, 'Wild Postings,' invited fans to explore the beauty brand's diverse shade range through an animated poster format.
