Rihanna, 27, goes braless in a plunging skirt suit as she wraps a leg around Madonna, 56, at Jay-Z's star-studded Tidal launch
Madonna and Rihanna are similar in many ways: both are strong, stylish and fiercely independent women who have reinvented themselves over the years in their successful music careers.
So it's no surprise that the two stars looked incredibly friendly and very much like old pals as they attended the launch of Jay Z's new music streaming service Tidal on Monday night.
Rihanna, 27, and Madonna, 56, certainly appeared like the best of friends as they joked around for the cameras together at the Skylight Moynihan Station in New York.

Her retro but current ensemble was completed with a very short mini skirt in a matching print, which showed off her lean and toned pins perfectly as she cocked a leg around Madonna.
