39 Met Gala Couples Who Shut Down the Red Carpet

In the world of red carpet style, the Met Gala has emerged as the place for celebrity couples to be photoagraphed together. Whatever the theme, many famous pairs have coordinated their looks for the stylish affair. 2019’s camp-themed affair, for instance, saw a particularly high number of couples who matched for the event. So, ahead of this year’s bash—which is themed “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”—Vogue is celebrating the spirit of the ball, looking back on the couples’ style moments that still resonate today.

Numerous high-profile couples have made their red carpet debut at the Met Gala. Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik walked the red carpet for the first time together in 2016, wearing futuristic getups inspired by the year’s technology theme; Hadid in a space-age, chic Tommy Hilfiger gown and Malik in a Versace suit with robotic-style sleeves. For other couples, the Met Gala has served as the backdrop for their meet-cute. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra first crossed paths at the soirée in 2017, and have since become husband and wife.

Other famous duos who have been fixtures at the Met Gala include David and Victoria Beckham, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner. (Who could forget the latter’s matching geometric looks by Louis Vuitton in 2019, which they wore just one week after getting hitched?) In 2021, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky set the Internet ablaze when they showed up to the Met steps in matching voluminous looks (Rihanna in Balenciaga, Rocky in ERL). Last year, co-chairs Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds lit up the red carpet in their Gilded Age fashions; Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, meanwhile, marched to the beat of their own drum in coordinating black and white Thom Browne looks.

At the celebration of Karl Lagerfeld’s life and work last year, Brittney and Cherelle Griner showed up in matching minimal ensembles by Calvin Klein, while Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade rocked his-and-hers Prada leather looks. While we’re still days away from seeing what fashion moments the 2024 Met Gala have in store, judging by the past, we’re in for lots of high-octane couples style.
