Surprise: This Model Reportedly Went Into Labor at Rihanna's Runway Show
Last night, Rihanna capped off New York Fashion Week in spectacular fashion: with a beautifully diverse Savage x Fenty runway show complete with dancing, an elaborately decorated stage, and plenty of lingerie. Along with women of all shapes and sizes, she cast two pregnant models—including, of course, one of her muses, Slick Woods.
Now, TMZ reports that Woods went into labor backstage after the show before being taken to a hospital. Woods has already revealed that she and Adonis Bosso have named their child Saphir after September's birthstone, sapphire. It's safe to say her child will have serious bragging rights when it comes to his birth story—who else participated in an iconic Rihanna show right before being born?
Of course, Woods isn't the first model to walk the runway while pregnant. Scroll down to revisit some of our favorite pregnant models on the runway.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
