Even Martha Stewart gets excited sometimes!
The lifestyle mogul and author, 83, couldn’t contain his excitement to meet Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at the December 4 Footwear News Achievement Awards (FNAA), an event that brings together and celebrates the world’s most influential footwear style stars, rising talent and industry veterans.
She was, in fact, so overjoyed that she posted about that moment on Instagram.
“RIRI @badgalriri is so beautiful! And statues!” Stewart captioned the selfie — but not without showing A$AP Rocky some love, calling the 36-year-old rapper “very hot and funny.”

Speaking to PEOPLE on the red carpet, Stewart opened up about her style plans for the holiday weeks ahead. “[Wear something] wearable, comfortable and indestructible. Yeah, you don’t want to have grease stains on something, you know, that costs $5,000. So wear something that can be washed.”
