The selfie that has everyone thinking Rita Ora and Beyoncé are actually besties

Los Angeles - Rita Ora says Beyoncé is like "family" as they posed for a selfie at the Met Gala.

The Body On Me singer - who stunned at the red carpet event in New York City in a beautiful Vera Wang metallic dress - took to Snapchat to further slam claims she had an affair with Jay Z.

In the sweet selfie, the pair clearly seem to be enjoying themselves as they smiled for the camera.

The 24-year-old singer was accused of having a relationship with the Empire State of Mind rapper after Beyoncé hinted her husband had cheated on her with "Becky with the good hair" on her latest LP, Lemonade.

Rita was initially thought to be the girl referred to in the songs when she posted a number of cryptic photographs on Snapchat soon after the release of the mother-of-one's latest record.

In one picture, she donned a skimpy bikini with a lemon print hiding her modesty as well as a gold necklace with the initial 'J' on it.
