In 2008, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez initially crossed paths, coincidentally associated with the Jonas brothers (Joe for Taylor, Nick for Selena). Ever since they’ve stood as each other’s staunchest supporters, this week’s MTV VMAs showcased their camaraderie, with Twitter buzzing over videos capturing their mutual applause during acceptance speeches, as both Taylor and Selena claimed awards. Post-ceremony, they lit up the after-party scene, each donning their unique spin on evening attire.

For the late-night soirée at the NoMad following the awards ceremony, Taylor opted for a denim minidress by EB Denim, showcasing a corset bustier and a patchwork pleated skirt, prompting fans to speculate about her recent penchant for blue attire. Her ensemble was elevated with gold jewelry, a silver crystal-encrusted mini bag, and silver peep-toe sandals. Meanwhile, Selena also sported a corset Undone by Kate minidress, albeit with a touch of sultry sophistication. Her jewel-tone purple satin dress was paired with a black leather shoulder bag adorned with silver tassels and black court pumps featuring ankle straps.

Even with their distinct colors and fabrics, the friends’ dresses shared a common feature in their cinched silhouettes. After all, can you truly claim to be best friends if your party dresses aren’t at least a little coordinated?
