If RiRi'S NYFW show wasn't enough to send the fashion world into a frenzy, something else pretty major happened backstage.

Pregnant model, Slick Woods, has revealed she was actually in labour whilst walking in the show.

The kickass model took to Instagram to share the news with her fans in this super inspiring post...

What a woman.

At the time, TMZ reported: "Just as the 22-year-old walked backstage, we're told she went into labour.

"We're told paramedics showed up to help Slick along. She was taken to the nearest hospital."

The little baby boy, whose father is model Adonis Bosso, will be named Saphir. Talk about making a fashionable entrance.

Rihanna's lingerie line, Savage, debuted on the catwalk this week.

Announcing that she'd be live-streaming via her own personal Instagram account, Rihanna wrote 'Ready for da show TONIGHT!?'.

Not content with live-streaming the entire show, Rihanna also ensured that she had an all-star line-up, with the likes of sibling power-duo, Gigi and Bella Hadid, joined by a heavily-pregnant Slick Woods.

But while the show wasn't exactly prime time for UK viewers, you've got to give RiRi some kudos for aiming to include the entire world in her launches. Fenty Beauty is one of the few brands to ensure every new product was available worldwide at the same time, and we love our bad gal for it.

Can't get enough of Rihanna? Here we chart all her best beauty looks:

    Bringing back the pixie crop, is there no look Rhi can't pull off? The last time she went this short was back in 2008, during her Umbrella-ella-ella days - though she had a fringe too. Now she's embracing a true close cut and she's never looked so at ease.

    From rebellious to romantic, Rihanna's traded in her fiesty mullet-chop for chest length waves and a soft, choppy fringe. It's a lockdown hairstyle we can all get on board with now that our lengths are beginning to grow out.

    Rihanna proved she can pull off literally any look when she unveiled this badass blonde wig on her social media. Although you'd never know, given how great that blend is! She captioned it perfectly herself: "What frontal?"

    Well, she was at her very own Fenty makeup launch in Milan so it's little surprise that Rihanna looked absolutely flawless. With glowing skin, eyes AND lips, Rihanna shone bright like a diamond.

    Playful in pink – Rihanna rocks her own Fenty lippy from the Mattemoiselle collection at a Sephora photocall in Madrid. The shade is Candy Venom, and looks to be layered with a clear gloss to give it some sheen.

    Another day, another slay. For the Fenty Beauty launch in London, Riri's ridiculously gorgeous makeup - which obviously is Fenty - was paired with a half 'do that gave Ariana Grande a run for her money.

    Our favourite thing about this look is the gorgeous coral lip shade - but the shimmery eye makeup sure isn't far behind!

    O-M-G! Can we take a moment to admire this gorgeousness? Rihanna stole the show at the Valerian premiere, in her red hued makeup, bouncy curls and jaw dropping jewellery - wait until you see her dress.

    At CBS Radio's third annual We Can Survive concert, Rihanna debuted her new blue 'do. Scraped up in a messy pony-tail, the dark blue colour had people talking. We predict style copycats galore.

    To attend the MAC Cosmetics It's Not Over film premiere in LA in mid November, Rihanna chose to make her beauty look all about the lips. Keeping her complexion and eye make-up to a minimum (save for a flick of feline liner), your eyes are immediately drawn to the deep berry shade of her pout (and how perfectly it has been applied). A winter beauty lesson? You're looking at it.

    2013 The bob is officially the style of the season. Rihanna is the latest star to debut a new chin-skimming cut, opting for a choppy peek-a-boo fringe for a flattering finish. Of course, there's every chance Rihanna's new look is a wig, but that won't stop us playing copycat.
