9 Times Rihanna & Her BFF Were #FriendshipGoals

by Michelle McGahan

Take one look at Rihanna's Instagram and you know that she keeps it real. Because in between all of the Vogue covers and high-end fashion shoots (and yes, there are a lot of 'em), the "B*tch Better Have My Money" singer shares totally candid selfies with her longtime bestie, Melissa Forde. And Forde — a legit photographer herself — takes just as many with her famous BFF, posting selfie after selfie and adorable video after adorable "this-makes-me-wish-I-could-be-best-friends-with-Rihanna-too" video. In all seriousness, Rihanna and Melissa Forde are #FriendshipGoals to the max, and their Instas are straight proof of their nothing-can-ever-break-us friendship.

While other celebrities are carefully curating their Instagram accounts or having social media managers run it for them, something so refreshing about Rihanna's Insta is that it genuinely seems like she posts things on the fly, almost like a — gasp! — totally normal human being. She definitely doesn't limit what her friends post either, considering Forde documents the pair's friendship frequently and there is no censoring whatsoever. And that's the nicest thing about Rihanna and Forde's relationship: It's genuine. It's real. And fortunately for the entire world, it's all out there displayed on Instagram. Goals, amirite? Check out their best BFF moments below.
