Irish sprinter Rhasidat Adeleke swapped her running gear for fashion when she met Rihanna at a beauty event in London.
Pop superstar Rihanna launched her latest Fenty Hair beauty line in Selfridges on Monday night and Olympic athlete Adeleke was on the guest list.
In a video posted to Adeleke's Instagram page, Rihanna looked taken aback to meet the runner, putting her hand over her mouth in shock and saying: "Are you kidding me? I follow you!"

Dublin-born Adeleke also shared a series of photos on Instagram, writing in the caption: "Fan girl moment meeting @badgalriri
"Such an inspiration & forever breaking barriers in the industry.
"My younger self would've never thought that Rihanna would be following me & my journey!"
It comes after Adeleke closed her season with a third-place finish at the Diamond League final in Brussels last week. This year she finished fourth in two Olympic finals, and collected one gold and two silvers at the European championships.
