Love them, hate them, or something in between, there's no denying that Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir have become a staple of figure skating commentary on NBC. With their acerbic commentary and legendarily outré fashion statements, the former Olympians are unlike anything sports commentary has ever seen, and the friendship between this dynamic duo is on display as they navigate their lives side by side. They've been friends for years, and once you take a look at some of their most fabulous moments together, you'll be downright jealous of just how cute they are.

Stepping Out in Sochi
Where it all began: the Winter Olympics, Sochi, 2014, where the world was first introduced to the unexpected chemistry and banter between these two champions. We (and they) have never looked back.

We Are Not Amused
Never let it be said that Lipinski and Weir hide their emotions. Their sharp-tongued skating commentary is only matched by their expressions — something we don't get to see on TV often, but which photographers eagerly catch.

Oscars 2014
Equally at home on the red carpet as in the commentary box, the duo brought a more elegant but equally well-coordinated look as they took their friendship to a new locale as each other's dates to the 2014 Academy Awards.

Fashion Fix
Friends don't let friends trip at the Oscars! Johnny helped the diminutive Tara with her skirt on the red carpet.

Champions and Champagne
Priorities, amiright? The duo (and their utterly fabulous hats) found the most important part of the red carpet at the 2014 Kentucky Derby.

Derby Hats, Part Deux
How do you know you're best friends? When even your red carpet poses are mirror images of each other! Tara and Johnny's knack for synchronicity extends even to photo ops, as they struck a fabulous pose at the 2015 Kentucky Derby.

A Dog-Day Afternoon
The pair are certainly no strangers to judging, as former competitive skaters, but watching adorable dogs be judged at the 2017 Kennel Club of Beverly Hills Dog Show was probably a lot more fun than nervously awaiting marks after a program, don't you think?
Tara's Wedding
They're at each other's side for the most important moments in life. Johnny gave a speech at Tara's 2017 wedding and was even in the wedding party!

Glamour at the Globes
Who better to be your award show arm candy than your best friend? Coordinated as always, Johnny and Tara brought their signature edgy-meets-classic style to the 2018 Golden Globes.
Back Where We Belong
The pair are currently in Pyeongchang, South Korea, for the 2018 Winter Olympics. We expect plenty of witty commentary and forward fashion from these friends over the next few weeks!
