Hailey Bieber hit up L.A.’s Daily Front Row’s 9th Annual Fashion Awards Thursday night, where she gave Justin Bieber his flowers … thanking him for backing her from day one, as she scooped the Beauty Innovator of the Year award.

Justin’s been in full multitasking mode — dropping religious posts, checking the paps, and still showing up strong for Hailey as she chases her dream … though he was notably absent last night.

Hailey spoke about her Rhode Skin brand — giving love to her friends for being her guinea pigs, and thanking her loyal customers, saying the brand wouldn’t exist without them.

Hailey, glowing in a strapless blue velvet dress, was the epitome of poise and elegance — but while she was showering Justin with praise, he was on a whole different wavelength last night … posting a vid of paps swarming him and begging them to give him space.

But let’s keep the spotlight where it should be — indoors with Hailey, honey, ’cause it was all about the fashion!

Adrian Peterson was busted for DWI Thursday night in Minnesota … where the Vikings legend was booked into the county jail, even posing for a mug shot.

TMZ Sports has learned the former league MVP was pulled over at 3:20 AM in an Audi Q5 … after a state trooper says they saw AP speeding, going 83 in a 55 MPH zone.

The cop suspected Peterson, 40, was drunk … and when the future Hall of Famer ultimately submitted a breath sample on the scene, he blew a .14.

Adrian, who played 10 seasons for the Vikings and is one of the team’s greatest players, was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on 4th-degree DWI … before he was ultimately released.

Thursday was supposed to be a joyous day for Peterson — he was a featured guest at the team’s draft day extravaganza at U.S. Bank Stadium, where thousands celebrated the big night.

Six police officers died in a plane crash in Thailand Friday — and the harrowing incident was all caught on video.

Check it out … the small plane is seen plunging out of the sky near the Thai beach town of Hua Hin, but as it nosedives into the ocean, the witness shuts off their camera, and we don’t see the impact.

Other videos show first responders fishing a body out of the water, and aerial footage shot from another plane shows the wreckage in the water.

A rep for the Royal Thai Police told the Associated Press …. six police officials were onboard the doomed propeller plane as part of a parachute training exercise Friday morning.

The spokesperson said the aircraft split in half after it went down into the sea near Hua Hin Airport, about 100 yards offshore, near a luxury hotel.

Officials told the AP everyone on the flight perished … the five passengers died at the scene, and the pilot was later pronounced dead at a hospital.
