Vienna Skye was in Times Square when she spotted her future best friend.
The catch? The young model with fiery orange and yellow hair was pictured on an NYC billboard.
It wasn’t the first time she had seen the model — named Liv Huffman — who had appeared on a poster in a clothing store, too.
“I thought she looked really cool,” Skye, 25, told Metro. “I’m into fashion and I really liked her style.”
That fateful day in 2019 was, unbeknownst to them, the beginning of a tight-knit friendship.
“We laugh at how random it all is,” Skye said, explaining that she has always kept her social circle small.
“But everything happens for a reason – I feel like I was meant to meet her.”
Upon following Huffman on Instagram, Skye, who was a student in New York at the time, realized she and Huffman shared the same interests after watching her YouTube videos.
“You could tell she just seemed really friendly and funny too – I thought she was the type of person I could be friends with,” said Skype, who was thousands of miles away from the LA-based model.
But the distance didn’t stop a friendship from sprouting — the pair began exchanging messages, hoping to meet in person one day.
That year, Skye’s then-boyfriend was traveling to California to host an event for his clothing brand, inviting her to tag along and making the “perfect opportunity” for the long-distance digital pals to meet.
“I worried it might be really awkward, but it wasn’t at all,” she said. “We weren’t together for long – we just had time to say ‘hi’ – but I had a good feeling about her. I knew I wanted to see her again.”
Later that year, Skye booked tickets to see her boyfriend again on the West Coast, but the couple had split.
Not wanting to waste her ticket, she headed to the Golden State to see an old friend and made plans to see Huffman in the process.
“We asked her if she wanted to go for some drinks, and miraculously, she was free, and was a five-minute drive away,” Skye recalled. “We went to a bar and had such a fun night – she was silly and fun and it was just so easy.”
Then, the next night, they saw each other again for a Halloween party, spending the entire evening with one another and even hitting up Taco Bell for some late-night grub.
“Now, she’s my best friend,” she said, adding that the duo vacations and spends their birthdays together.
“She’s got a unique personal style – she’s taught me so much about fashion and beauty and helped me to become more creative,” she continued
They’re “each other’s biggest cheerleaders” — Huffman even attended the New York Fashion Week shows Skye walked in, “cheering and screaming” her name.
“We don’t really drink, so one of our favorite things to do together is eat. We’re always sending each other TikTok videos of places we want to try when we get together,” Skye said.
“But she’s also one of those friends you don’t need much of a social battery for. We can get together, and just sit and watch TV, and still be having the best time.”
