Did Marc Jacobs intentionally start his New York Fashion Week show an hour and a half late on Wednesday night just to spite Rihanna?!
Rumors are flying around NYC right now considering the usually extremely-punctual Jacobs didn’t start his 6:00 p.m. show on Wednesday until nearly 7:30 p.m.
The problem? Rihanna was doing her own lingerie show and performance at an entirely different venue — and fashion writers and editors had to ultimately pick whether to attend one or the other!

Jacobs has historically always been the last designer to show during Fashion Week, so fans were speculating that his bizarre (and extremely rare) delay may have come as a form of retribution against Rihanna for technically snatching that final spot away.
And Twitter users were quick to point out that Jacobs’ delay tactics actually backfired on him, too, as editors left his show in droves to make it over to Rihanna in time (below):

Some empty front row seats at @marcjacobs as the show stretches toward being an hour-and-a-half late starting. @rihanna @SavageXFenty show starting soon in Brooklyn, and some editors will be missing it. #NYFW18 pic.twitter.com/vAA3qwy2pa

Wow!!! Crazy!!!
Reports claim that eyewitnesses saw sewing machines being brought into the building right around 6:00 p.m., perhaps indicating a legit fashion delay. Jacobs’ own staffers allegedly said the issues were due to an “errant clothing delivery, no doubt caught in rush-hour traffic, exacerbated by the rain.”
And yet, as you can see (above), not everybody is buying that…
Jacobs’ show eventually went off without a hitch — at 7:30 p.m., rather than 6:00 p.m. — and for what it’s worth, media outlets reported that “his clothes were roundly praised as the best of fashion week in the end,” so, all’s well that ends well… sort of??

But that’s not all! Jacobs did apologize for the fashion show mishap on Thursday… thought not to RiRi.
Here’s what he posted to Instagram about the issue late last night (below):
Whoa! That’s a lot of excuses facts!
What do U think, Perezcious readers?!
Was Marc Jacobs trying to spite Rihanna and sabotage her audience with his “delay tactics” at Fashion Week?! Or do you think he really had an issue with some clothes??
