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 aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. 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 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
