Rihanna and Katy Perry are reunited! After not being seen together since the 2012 MTV Music Awards, the high-profile BFFs were spotted catching up over dinner at a restaurant in NYC’s West Village on Monday.

Though Rihanna was reportedly in the restaurant for only 30 minutes, she had time to take this pic of her and Katy and share it on Instagram:

It’s good that Rihanna could document it because the paparazzi couldn’t get a picture of them together—not even one!

For the quick get-together, Rihanna was in her usual streetwear getup style, possibly wearing the most normal-looking jeans we’d seen her wear in a while. Remember her double-top jeans, Rag & Bone moto trousers, and red-and-black animal-print jumpsuit? Yeah, these skinny jeans are practically boring compared to those:

Rihanna’s normy jeans (well, normy for her, anyway) are these J Brand mid-rise super skinny jeans:
