    Yesterday was the Loewe fall/winter 2024 show, where Shawn Mendes and Pharrell were both in attendance.

    A video also captured them meeting — and has gone viral because it's just so awkward.

    The two are seen talking in the footage when Pharrell extends his hand for a handshake. At the same time, Shawn notices someone nearby and excitedly reaches over Pharrell to say hi. Shawn begins fully conversing with the person while Pharrell just stands there with his hand up, waiting for Shawn to notice.

    One person joked on X, formerly Twitter, that Pharrell's "still got his hand up to this day." LMAO.

    Some called it peak awkwardness, from Shawn "completely" ignoring Pharrell to greet the other person...

    For what it's worth, Shawn was seen hugging Pharrell at some point in a separate video, but still, LOL.
