When the Duchess of Sussex locked eyes with superstar Beyonce on the yellow paw printed carpet of the Lion King premiere, a serious love fest ensued. Both women have long had admiration for one another–Beyonce and Jay-Z posed with a portrait of the duchess for a BRIT Award acceptance speech while Meghan claimed the closest she would ever come to channeling the singer would be a bit of hot sauce in her purse in an old Instagram post.

Still, the power duo seemed destined for BFF status long before their fateful meeting based on their similar sartorial style.
