In case you thought French President Emmanuel Macron couldn’t get any cooler… he just did.

Last weekend Macron upped his cool points by meeting with pop star and fashionista Rihanna.

Rihanna first asked Macron about meeting up via Twitter, where she asked if he would be interested in investing in her education fund for developing countries. Just a few days after her tweet, Rihanna was at the Elysée Palace, talking education with Macron and looking fabulously stylish with his wife, Brigitte.

Rihanna, who is so much more than just a singer and was named 2017 Harvard University Humanitarian of the Year, said that she and Macron “focused on the topic of education from a global aspect.”
