It’s not everyday when a fellow icon gets to fangirl over their favorite celebrity couple like Rihanna and A$AP Rocky in real life at an event but that’s exactly what happened at a recent event in New York City—and who it was just might surprise you.
Taking place at the at the Footwear News Achievement Awards (FNAA) (unofficially known as the “shoe Oscars) on Wednesday, Rih was there to support Rocky as he was being honored with Collaboration of the Year Award for his efforts drop with Puma. But somewhere during the ceremony the iconic couple was greeted by one of their biggest fans and a fellow honoree: Martha Stewart.
Though we’re not sure what exactly was said between the two women, we do have proof that the exchange was overwhelmingly positive thanks to a post to Instagram that Stewart posted in the aftermath of the event.
“RIRI @badgalriri is so beautiful ! And statuesque!” Stewart captioned in the post. “And has a very handsome and funny boyfriend asap rocky (@asaprocky ), who was one of the FNAA(footwear news) honorees last evening @ciprianiNY along with yours truly.”
Prior to having a meet-cute with Stewart, Rihanna took the time to praise Rocky for his achievements and joked about leaving their kids behind to come and celebrate the occasion:
“I left my kids to be here, I’m super proud of their dad. That’s my baby daddy,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “He’s always influenced the fashion game. He’s always had a unique sense of style that designers have honed in on and actually used as inspiration for collections. He’s never gotten an amount of credit that he deserves. Being here tonight, it just feels great to see him achieve something that we always knew he was a part of and influenced. I’m proud to be here by his side.”
