Wearisma’s analysis indicates that Savage x Fenty were the clear front runners at NYFW. Content from songstress and Mogul Rihanna’s star-studded Savage X Fenty show which streamed online via Amazon Prime garnered 16M Engagements and $27M in Media Value. Unsurprisingly, Rihanna (@badgalriri) was the show’s top-performing brand ambassador, single-handedly contributing $16M in Media Value. Savage x Fenty appears to be leading the way in lingerie, taking over from Victoria’s Secret who this year revealed that they are cancelling their 2019 fashion show.
The second instalment of the Tommy Hilfiger x Zendaya collection was also popular online during NYFW. Similar to Savage x Fenty, actress Zendaya (@zendaya) was the show’s top-performing brand ambassador with her content earning $8.9M in Media Value.
Coming in at third is Marc Jacobs. Mega-Influencer James Charles (@JamesCharles) performed well for the brand. His content at Marc Jacobs’ show reached $7.7M in Media Value. Charles was followed by singer Dua Lipa (@DuaLipa) with $1.4M Media Value for content at the show.
Michael Kors took the 4th spot during NYFW. Wearisma’s analysis reveals that Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) was not only a stellar model for Michael Kors’ Spring/Summer show, she also produced the most profitable content for the brand ($1.5M in Media Value). Hadid is followed by Indonesian singer Isyana Sarasvati (@isyanasarasvati), whose content from the show garnered $792K in Media Value.

Access timely cultural trends, strategic creator guidance, and industry best practices.
Cannes Lions has always been where the industry takes stock, not just of the work, but of where the money is going and why. This year, creator marketing will be front and centre. Not because it’s new, but because the ground underneath it is shifting in ways that are forcing brands to fundamentally rethink how they plan, measure and value creator partnerships.Â
Here are the three topics we expect to define the week.
The top 100 media and entertainment brands across video streaming, audio streaming, and content creation generated $63.4B in total Earned Media Value in 2025, up +7.0% YoY. Growth is uneven across sub-sectors, video streaming surged while audio streaming declined sharply, platform dynamics are shifting fast, and a handful of breakout brands are rewriting what influence looks like in entertainment.
TikTok grew +70.2% YoY and is rapidly closing the gap on YouTube as the dominant entertainment influence platform. YouTube remains #1 at $32.6B but declined -11.3%, while Instagram grew +4.4% to $13.3B. Facebook nearly doubled to $7.3B (+98.9%), making media and entertainment one of the few categories where four platforms are genuinely competing for share.
