The 26-year-old singer also raved about the youngster's "bad baby" style and asked Kim to help her shop for clothes for her own baby in the future.

According to another source, Rihanna was heard to say "And the way you dress her, Kim, she's one bad baby! When it's my turn, you're coming shopping for clothes with me because your girl is the bomb."

To which Kim replied, "Aww, thank you Rihanna. That's so sweet of you to say."

Kim is also said to have showed Rihanna a number of adorable photographs of North, which prompted her to say: "Does this baby take any bad pictures?"

Kim simply replied: "Nope!"

Rihanna isn't the first person to admire the youngster's fashion choices.

Earlier this year, North was photographed for former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld's CR Fashion Book in a spread devoted to the 'Legends' of the fashion world.

The toddler was shot for the feature by famed photographer Michael Avedon sporting a Chanel cashmere sweater and miniature studded handbag, along with the brand's signature pearl earrings.

In other North West news and this is obscene 'spoiling', though little North may only by 17 months old, she has a $10,000-a-month fashion and beauty bill, with her costs including baby massages with organic oil and mini manicure-pedicures, as well as a $2,000-a-month hair dresser.

A source said: "Her hairdresser is also in charge of accessorising and works alongside her stylist to ensure that her hair goes with the look."

North has her own two-person styling team and the stylist and her assistant also spend around $2,000 a month on designer clothes for the youngster, before customising many of her garments.

The source told heat magazine: "North has a tailor who makes clothes for her, such as mini versions of her mum's designer outfits so she can match Kim.

"The tailor will often customise clothes too, by embellishing jackets with her name picked out in Swarovski crystals - she even has NW stitched into all her shoes."

The couple have also arranged for North to have her own 2,000 sq ft wardrobe in their new home, complete with Italian marble floors and her own beauty parlour.
