‘Iconic’: Helen Mirren and Megan Thee Stallion dance in Venice

Megan Thee Stallion and Helen Mirren have caused a stir after the Oscar-winning actress was filmed dancing with the rapper at a Dolce & Gabbana event in Venice.

The unlikely pair looked overjoyed as Mirren, dazzling in a silver dress, shook her hips in front of Megan who raised her arms and clapped at the star-studded Alta Moda fashion show on Monday night.

The giggling pair eventually stopped to hug.

Fans were left gobsmacked by the dance praising the “iconic duo”.

One wrote: “Helen Mirren & Megan Thee Stallion have now officially knocked Lady Gaga & June Brown (Dot from Eastenders) off the top spot of ‘unlikely, yet iconic, duos.’”

Another added: “You can tell Megan radiates good fun energy. Helen Mirren even wanted to back it up on her.”

It comes after Helen Mirren posted an adorable Instagram of her slow dance with Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel at the Dolce & Gabbana show at St Mark’s Square on Sunday.

Mirren, 76, wowed in a decorated ballgown at the bash, looking pleased-as-punch as she waltzed with the star.

The Houston-born rapper, whose real name is Megan Pete, is just behind Justin Bieber with six MTV Video Music Awards nominations, mostly from her hit song “WAP,” triggering nods for video of the year, artist of the year, best collaboration and best hip-hop song.

She also was nominated for a second time in the best hip-hop song category for her work on Lil Baby’s “On Me (The Remix).”
