The two were pictured sitting together at a 2014 Miu Miu Fall/Winter runway show during Paris Fashion Week.
In the picture, Lupita looks posh in her thick-rimmed glasses and bejeweled collared shirt, while Rihanna looks fashionably outlandish in her yellow and red fur coat.
After the post another user responded and laid the groundwork for the movie you never knew you absolutely needed in life.
