In what might be the most momentous meeting of our generation, Mariah Carey’s twins, Monroe and Moroccan ([affectionately known to the Lambily as “Dem Babies” thanks to Ol’ Dirty Bastard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tCTm5M3Cp8)) met [Roc Nation’s one true heir, Blue Ivy Carter](http://time.com/4551352/beyonce-blue-ivy-tina-knowles-salt-n-pepa-halloween-costume/) backstage after Mariah Carey’s holiday concert in New York City. The shot has been liked 158,000 times as of Tuesday. Moroccan and Monroe were dressed in cozy and festive holiday looks, while Blue Ivy embodied flawlessness with her choice of accessories: a statement headband and an oversized fans, proving that good style might just be hereditary.
