Rihanna‘s Instagram account was completely taken over by 2017 Met Gala coverage on Tuesday. Just the night before, the pop princess killed the red carpet in an off-the-runway Comme des Garçons piece that had everyone talking. 

Headline after headline, fan art, behind-the-scene photos— the singer showed loved to those who showed love to her online. But in her last post of the day, she made a special shout out to queen in training, Zendaya.

“Brown goddess,” Rihanna simply captioned a photo of Zendaya wearing a stunning Dolce & Gabbana off-the-shoulder gown at the Met Gala.

Zendaya quickly responded with a hilarious SnapChat of her freaking out. “So Rihanna just posted me,” the 20-year-old said. 

“I repeat this is not a drill, this is real! Guys I’m going through it right now, I never knew a post could mean so much to me, in all my life. That post alone, my skin is clearing up. Ok, b**ch, I just got a check. Listen. Everything is going well.”

Honestly, Zendaya knew she slayed that red carpet as evidenced by the following photos.

We love these two. Both Rihanna and Zendaya looked impeccable at the event, and it’s even cooler that they can acknowledge the dopeness in one another in a public setting.
