Kanye West allowed Ralph Lauren to cup his cheek. Cue fashion bromance.
The musician and fashion artist attended Ralph Lauren's fall/winter 2015 runway show at New York Fashion Week on Thursday. He got cozy in the front row and was seated right next to the designer's wife, Ricky Lauren. (In case you're keeping track, Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour was exactly seven seats away.)

Throughout the show, Yeezy paid close attention as each look passed by.
Even though he was chewing gum, he appeared to be learning and approving.
Spoiler alert: He let Ralph finish.

In fact, Kanye was the first to jump up and award a standing ovation to Mr. Ralph Lauren, who personally embraced Yeezy's hand.
Yeezy ❤️ Ralph ❤️ Yeezy. #nyfw pic.twitter.com/JSzZ8bQLG7— Stephanie Buck (@StephMBuck) February 19, 2015
And then Kanye and Ralph lived happily ever after in a fabulous fashion land far, far away. #blessed
Kanye West showed his own line at NYFW last Thursday: a collaboration called Kanye West x adidas Originals, dubbed Yeezy Season One. The collection (and the star-studded front row) received good reviews overall. In particular, many applauded the diverse model casting.
