This week has been littered with news, runway shows, and celebrity sightings.

Rihanna has been papped on consecutive nights out in New York City, whether grabbing lipgloss at Sephora in Flatiron wearing a custom Bottega Veneta coat, Celine separates, and Gucci x Balenciaga shoes...

Or keeping it chic and colorful after dinner in a Martine Rose blue and black track jacket, Saint Laurent faux fur trimmed skirt, Prada striped fur scarf, and custom Manolo Blahnik lace up sandals.

Granted, it is frigid in New York City, which calls for layering and large coats! That said, Fashion Bomb Daily comments have been consistently inquisitive about the state of Rihanna's womb. They wonder: Is she with child?

Perhaps she is, or perhaps she's just eating well. Either way, she's glowing! Keep it locked here for Rihanna fashion and fertility updates!

Over in Paris, Haute Couture showed no signs of stopping, with fabulously artistic shows that got tongues wagging. Some stand outs included Schiaparelli by Daniel Roseberry, which featured gilded and surrealist pieces perfect for any daring red carpet:

And Valentino, which was praised for its diversity of runway models and the ultimate artistry of the gowns:

Valentino Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli is a genius. The Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2022 looks were next level gorgeous.

Speaking of Fashion Industry geniuses, one of the most impactful designers of our time, Manfred Thierry Mugler, died this week at the age of 73.

The Parisian designer was known for creating theatrical, avant garde, and architectural looks for Michael Jackson, Madonna, David Bowie, and Diana Ross. He came back onto our collective radar in recent years thanks to collaborations with Cardi B, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, and Kim Kardashian.

Aside from his designs, he will be remembered for launching one of the most popular fragrances of the 20th century, Angel, and his embrace of models of any race, age, or sexual orientation.

May He Rest in Eternal Peace.
