Nevertheless, to whatever celebrity dark arts were at work in bringing these two (let’s face it) completely random women together, we owe a massive thank-you. Because somehow, Nic’s doe-eyed, Nu Rave Miss Havisham look is the perfect yin to Ri’s bombastic, hotpanted yang. Trust us, it just works. And call us fickle but we’re seeing Nicola in a whole new light now we know our mega-crush Rihanna rates her. Her kooky outfits, even that terrifying floor-length plait (pictured), suddenly look more directional than dodgy, and the very idea that they may be braiding each other’s hair, swapping lip glosses or sharing a jumbo platter at RiRi’s favourite restaurant, Nando’s, as we speak, is enough to make us giddy.
