When a celebrity steps out, the world tends to pay attention. This phenomenon is only multiplied when they’re spotted in a relationship, especially when their romance involves a fellow star. Soon, their street-style forays aren’t the only element of their public lives that pique our interest. Rather, it’s the way the couple constructs a joint persona through the act of couple dressing—or in the case of some pairs on this list, a conscious act of antithetical personal style. Nevertheless, stylish celebrity couples are bona fide fashion forces to be reckoned with.
Indeed, these duos have the power to influence runways, dictate popular styles and serve as cultural touchstones memorialised in editorials and campaigns. Irrespective of whether these stylish celebrity couples stood the test of time—like in the case of Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow—or at the nascent stage of their love—recently seen through Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny’s date night looks—these partners are a potent example that two are better than one. In honour of these fashion legacies, keep scrolling below for GRAZIA’s guide to the most stylish celebrity couples of all time.
The Most Stylish Celebrity Couples Of All Time
Rihanna & ASAP Rocky
Commencing this list is undoubtedly the reigning king and queen of couple dressing; A$AP Rocky and Rihanna. The couple made their red carpet debut, albeit platonically, at the British Fashion Awards when the songstress wore a mint green dress from her eponymous (and now defunct) LVMH-backed fashion label, Fenty. The pair began dating soon after, with the rapper appearing in campaign photos for Rihanna’s skincare line, professing his love for her in interviews and showcasing their (now) collective luxury fashion collection in street style shots. The couple marked a major milestone during the Fall/Winter 2022 season when Rihanna flexed her unbridled maternity style in Gucci faux fur and lingerie-inspired Dior. Rih and Rocky share two sons, RZA, 2 and Riot Rose, 10 months, whom the billionaire revealed she intentionally dresses like their Bottega Veneta ambassador father.
Victoria Beckham & David Beckham
Posh and Becks forever! David Beckham’s recent documentary might’ve introduced a new audience to the English couple’s nascent 90s style—see: Posh Spice-approved Tom Ford for Gucci LBDs and Manchester-inspired athletic sleaze fitting for a premiere league star—but their couple style file has only expanded over their 25 years together. As the former English football captain is a fixture on the front row at each of Victoria’s collection presentations, the pair’s complimentary tailoring shows no signs of slowing down. From each vacation with their children, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19 and Harper, 12, to their star-studded date nights, pitch-side style and every engagement ring in between, the Beckhams hit the high note (and the back of the net) every time.
Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kenndy Jr.
A white Yohji Yamamato button down shirt. A beige Prada midi skirt. A tortoiseshell headband. A suit and a baseball cap worn backwards. These silhouettes conjure an image of peak 90s minimalism It couple, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kenndy Jr., without even going into specifics because of how synonymous these styles are with their couple’s fashion. Though the pair tragically passed away in a plane crash off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard in 1999, the duo have been immortalised on Pinterest boards, inspired fashion campaigns (like Saks Potts’ Spring/Summer 2021 and Sporty & Rich) and will be the perpetual understated luxury muses. Though, if you ask GRAZIA, we’d say her biggest fashion legacy is her satin slip Narciso Rodriguez wedding dress.
Justin Bieber & Hailey Bieber
Whether you are an adherent of the Biebers’ antithetical approach to couple’s fashion or believe that those who dress together, stay together, there’s no denying this duo’s spot on this list. What champagne is to caviar and Rhode Beauty’s is to the popularity of glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts, Hailey’s tight mini-dresses are to Justin’s oversized silhouettes. Though, their style has converged throughout the beauty mogul’s pregnancy—there’s nothing like maternity dressing to encourage a slouchier fit—we’ll never grow tired of these Los Angelinos dressing like they’re on “separate planets”. (As the soon-to-be mum describes it.)
Kaia Gerber & Austin Butler
When you have access to custom (and archival, thanks in part to your supermodel mother Cindy Crawford’s collection, but also your close relationship with the respective creative designers) Alaïa and Celine, and your boyfriend is a Saint Laurent muse, your outings will inherently be a stylish affair. Such is the case for model-turned-actress Kaia Gerber and Acadamy Award nominee Austin Butler. Despite their ten-year age difference, it’s apparent the couple share a preference for sleek silhouettes (à la their 2023 Time 100 Gala looks), classic glamour (their 2023 Cannes Film Festival outfits) and a vintage flair (their 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars After Party ensembles).
Kristen Dunst & Jesse Plemons
As a Sofia Coppola muse, Kristen Dunst’s red carpet looks have always piqued our interest for their inimitable ethereal quality. But as her husband, Texas-born actor Jesse Plemons, began to take on leading roles, such as in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Kinds of Kindness, we knew each of their outings would be underscored with Old Hollywood glamour. What else should we expect from a thespian husband and wife duo? From their appearance at the 2022 Oscars, an occasion which saw them both nominated for their performances in Jane Champions Power Of The Dog, to the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, in which Plemons complimented his wife’s Audury Hepburn-inspired Givenchy LBD, these newlyweds are a Hollywood heavyweight worth keeping your eye on.
Mick Jagger & Bianca Jagger
Though not the original rockstar girlfriend (we’d give this title to George Harrison’s first wife Pattie Boyd, it’s unequivocally proven that Bianca Jagger catapulted this aesthetic to new heights in her highly-publicised relationship with The Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger. From sequin-laden Studio 54 days to their iconic Saint Laurent-filled wedding in Saint Tropez and countless days spent at Andy Wharol’s Factory in between, the Jaggers are a phantom of forgotten vintage style worth being visited by.
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin
There’s something inimitable Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. A je ne sais quoi, if you will. Perhaps it was the decade they fell in love in, or the fact their on-screen chemistry in 1969 romance blossomed into a real-life affair that spanned years, records and several iconic couple fashion moments, but this pair is reflective of a kind of bygone relationship—one marked by Mary Quant minis, bohemian crochet and pinstripe tailoring.
Hugh Grant & Elizabeth Hurley
When Hugh met Liz. It was on the set of her first-ever feature film. He was the dashing British heartthrob and a mainstay in boxy cut suiting, she was the sensual ingénue in body-conscious slips. Fast forward seven years, Elizabeth Hurley would undeniably plant their couple style on the world’s map in a slinky Versace cut-out dress fastened with Medusa-head safety pins. It wasn’t meant to be though, with Hurley ending the relationship in the 2000s after Grant was embroiled in a scandal. They remain close friends to this day, but the photos from the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral will live forever.
Channing Tatum & Zoë Kravitz
Despite being the newest couple on this list, it only took a bike ride through New York City for Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum to prove to have a couple style worth noting. Kravitz’s penchant for breezy separates, 90s silhouettes and elevated yet unfussy pieces, her cool-girl energy is the perfect counterpart to Tatum’s menswear taste. For brides and adherents of their street style, the couple’s upcoming nuptials will be a moment worth pencilling down in your calendar.
George Clooney & Amal Clooney
When you own an 18th Century villa on the bed of Lake Como, tied the knot in a Canal Grande luxury resort in Venice, are frequent attendees at the Cannes Film Festival, annual Academy Awards and every major Hollywood event in between, George and Amal Clooney’s appearance on this list is a prerequisite. Her red carpet dressing (read: vintage Versace) and barrister uniform (sweet jumpsuits) might be some of her most memorable looks, but we’d contend that her date night style is worthy of gilded accolades too. Especially after the Oscar winner revealed Amal’s style makes him feel “embarrassed” because her flawless silhouettes puts the suits he’s “worn a thousand times” to shame.
Beyoncé & Jay-Z
Whether they’re co-ordinating in Cowboy Carter western-inspired designer or emulating Jean-Michel Basquiat and Holly Golightly for Tiffany & Co’s “About Love” campaign, Beyoncé and JAY-Z have a synchronised way of dressing worth going crazy in love for. Having been together for nearly 24 years, one could assume complementing each other’s style would be last on their priorities list. But when Beyoncé’s uniform involves vintage Vivienne Westwood thigh-high boots from the British brand’s Red Label autumn/winter 2010 collection, a cowboy bandana Bottega Veneta bag and archival ‘Beyhive” Mugler, it’s clear the rapper is putting in equal amounts of effort to match his wife’s drip. II Most Wanted, indeed.
Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds
In the realm of stylish celebrity couples, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have a particular “his and hers” way of dressing. Irrespective of whether they’re attending the Met Gala, appearing on the red carpet at a film premiere or roaming the streets of New York, the actors tend to choose a specific motif and embrace the element through their respective tastes. In the case of the premiere of The Adam Project, Lively paired a pastel-panelled chiffon gown from Atelier Versace’s Spring/Summer 2019 Couture collection with a Chanel flap bag and denim jacket, while Reynolds embraced the pattern in a pinstripe suit. Yes, even after four children and 14 years together, their joint appearances are a fashion-forward affair.
Tom Holland & Zendaya
With Zendaya being one of the most stylish people in the world, it’s safe to assume whomever she dates will automatically be more polished just by being in her proximity. Like many actors who met on set, Zendaya and Tom Holland began couple dressing while promoting Marvel’s Spiderman trilogy, with the couple spinning web-inspired complimentary looks in vintage Roberto Cavalli and new season Alexander McQueen. After becoming more serious, Zendaya offered Holland the most romantic gift of all: access to her stylist and ‘image architect’ Law Roach. While we rarely get a glimpse of the pair outside of the red carpet, each outing is guaranteed to garner attention due to Zendaya’s devotion to turning a look—even if she does outshine her boyfriend, like dressing as a Shakespearean fantasy in a regal corset Vivienne Westwood gown for the opening night of Holland’s West End production of Romeo & Juliet.
