Of course, Richie's enviable figure doesn't come as a complete surprise.

After all, the gal could be seen shaking her groove thing back in June when she appeared in a hip-hop workout video.

"One hundred percent, all I wanted to be growing up was a backup dancer," Richie confessed in the clip. "I don't want to sing and have the focus on me. I just want to be out there, just grooving, you know, for two hours."

Well, if this is the end result, we say, keep grooving, Nic!
