Barely a day has gone by when Rihanna hasn’t had her best friend Melissa Forde by her side.
And on Monday it was no different when the girls headed out in New York, turning heads as they strolled hand-in-hand.
It seems hanging out together has rubbed off on the duo as they both opted to show some skin, with Melissa even giving the pop princess a run for her money. 
ust the two of us: Rihanna and Melissa Forde were seen heading for dinner in New York on Monday
The 26-year-old star showed off her toned midriff in a scallop-edged top paired with a miniskirt in the same hue on Monday.
She completed her outfit with a pair of white sandals and a coral pedicure, while she added an extra burst of colour with a red and black handbag.
Her curly hair was worn loose and natural and the star complemented her look with minimal makeup and a pale pink lip gloss.

Melissa meanwhile showed off her figure in a tweed shirt dress, which was not only short but also rather low-cut.
In her hand she carried a black clutch bag with a cannabis leaf on it – which looked to be a hand me down from Rihanna, as she was seen carrying it previously.
On Sunday, Rihanna was spotted wearing a Christopher Kane camouflage dress and using a giant finger to cheer on her beloved basketball players Brooklyn Nets at the Barclay’s Center in New York, again joined by Melissa.

Melissa recently celebrated her birthday and celebrated with a dinner in Santa Monica, which Rihanna’s new beau Drake also attended.
Marking the occasion Rihanna wrote a long tribute to her loyal friend, who is often seen travelling across the globe with her.
She wrote: ‘Nobody in de world could mek me laugh di$ ra$$hole hard, Nobody cud talk a$ much c-nt a$ you, Nobody cud keep my dirty lil $ecret$ like you, Nobody el$e cud embara$$ my $tyle….You literally make b*****$ wi$h they had an M.Forde by their side!
