Martha Stewart couldn’t help but fangirl over Rihanna after meeting her at the Footwear News Achievement Awards on Wednesday.
The TV host, 83, gushed over the singer’s striking appearance via Instagram while sharing a photo of the pair at the event.
“RIRI @badgalriri is so beautiful ! And statuesque!” Stewart captioned the picture.
Stewart looked impressive in the photo, wearing a Libertine look that included an eye-catching gold jacket, sweater and pants underneath. For her shoes, she wore a pair of sparkly Pier Lite slip-on wedges from her Sketchers collaboration.
Stewart also praised Rihanna’s long-term boyfriend and the father to her two sons, RZA and Riot Rose, saying he’s “very handsome and funny.”
The rapper took home the award for collaboration of the year for his work with Puma, while Stewart was recognized with the icon award on Wednesday night.
Kevin Sharkey, executive director of design for Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, shared a separate picture of the two stars together on his Instagram Stories.
In the image, the “Diamonds” singer held Stewart close as they both gave a pair of understated smiles.
Sharkey captioned the image, “icons only,” tagging both Stewart and Rihanna in the post.
Snoop Dogg also made a virtual appearance at the awards ceremony, according to People.
The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper, who’s been a longtime friend and collaborator of Stewart’s for years, presented the lifestyle maven with her award as she highlighted his Snoop Dogg: Snoop One – Gold Medal Snoop sneakers on stage.
The limited edition shoes are scheduled to hit the Sketchers website on December 12.
