Rihanna takes new best buddy Cara Delevingne to her first basketball game

First there was a trip to Barbados, then they spent New Year’s Eve together … now best friends Cara Delevingne and Rihanna are sports buddies too.

The singer took the British model to her first basketball game, with the pair looking glued to the action at a court in New York — at least when they weren’t gossiping.

Judging by Rihanna’s shocked facial expressions, far right, whatever 21-year-old Cara was telling her was particularly juicy. They cheered wildly as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Atlanta Hawks 91-86.

Earlier in the day Rihanna, 25, who was dressed casually at the game, showed off not one but two new Chanel clutch bags — a matching set designed to look like the iconic perfume bottles.
