18 of the most iconic celebrity couple looks of all time

The lure of celebrity couples is a phenomenon unparalleled.

The Brangelinas and Kimyes of the world have amassed comparable levels of fame in their professional careers and personal relationships. Famous couplings have also birthed some of the most iconic looks of all time.

Here are 18 of the best celebrity couple looks in recent history.

Sonny and Cher wowed with their style throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Known around the world for songs like "I Got You Babe" and "It's the Little Things," Sonny and Cher are one of the most famous musical duos in the world.

Their trailblazing did not stop at music. The couple was emblematic of every beloved trend associated with the 1960s and 1970s.

Cher's gold two piece designed by Bob Mackie for the 1973 Oscars is just one of the many imitable looks she's worn during her expansive career. Sonny often wore bright patterns and designs as well, but this night, he stood out in a velvet tux and a very '70s mustache.

The iconic look has been repeated by many other celebrities over the years.

Supermodel Iman and musician David Bowie were a designer's dream.

The couple, who married in 1992, radiated opulence and cool whenever they were spotted together.

Seen here at a dinner in 1991, Bowie dialed up his basic black T-shirt and jeans with an eye-catching red blazer. Iman's dress featured a corset bodice and partially sheer skirt.

Victoria and David Beckham tied the knot in 1999 and have been the pinnacle of marriage goals ever since.

Many things have changed since their nuptials, but their collective sense of style has not faltered in their 22 years of marriage.

Before Victoria launched her own womenswear line in 2008, the couple was known for twinning on and off the red carpet.

At the Versace Club Gala Party in London in 1999, the pair wore matching black leather Versace sets. The fitted outfits would go on to be a comical source of regret for the former Manchester United midfielder years later.

He reminisced on the moment in a 2017 Instagram post for Victoria's birthday.

"Wow we really did this...Happy Anniversary to an amazing wife , mummy and strong business woman," read the caption.

While it may be harder to find the two twinning these days, the former Spice Girl does reflect fondly on their carefree approach towards fashion in the past.

"I think there was naïveté there. We didn't know about fashion, we were just having fun with it — which to be honest with you, is kind of the way it should be," she said on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" in October 2021.

Before "Bennifer," Jennifer Lopez dated hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs from 1999 to 2001.

They couple embodied some of the defining trends for the early 2000s.

At the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards in New York, the couple both wore leather and sparkle or, as Vogue put it, "The couple artfully mirrored each other."

Pictured in a leather skirt and embellished halter top, the "Selena" star could wear the same outfit today without it looking dated, due to the resurgence of trends from the early aughts, while Diddy's baggy leather pants and sweater vest are more signs of the time.

Their second MTV Music Video Award appearance showcased almost every early 2000s trend at once.

Puff Daddy, his moniker of choice at the time, and Lopez were a fashion pair made in high-label heaven. From her bandanna headband to the low-rise pants and cropped tank combo, Lopez's look is the pinnacle of Y2K fashion.

In fact, her navel-baring tank was from Sean Jean, Diddy's eponymous brand, which he regained complete ownership of in 2021.

In 2000, J.Lo attended the Grammy Awards with Diddy while wearing one of the most iconic red carpet looks.

The green Versace dress defined an era of red carpet sex appeal that hadn't been seen before and even led to the creation of Google Images. Lopez has brought out different versions of this dress several times, but the original remains the most iconic.

Diddy's look was simple, but the tailoring, or lack thereof, makes it a notable 2000s fashion moment in its own right.

"It's rare to see a couple that is so fashionably on each other's level," Vogue's Liana Satenstein wrote of the look in 2021.

Head-to-toe denim is a bold choice no matter the decade but Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were up for the challenge.

Spears and Timberlake, who started dating in 1999 and officially called it quits in 2002, made blue-jeans history with this version of the Canadian tuxedo at the 2001 American Music Awards.

Spears' patchwork denim gown was designed by New York City costume designers Kurt and Bart. Timberlake took the look a step further with his all-denim fedora.

 

Beyoncé and Jay-Z also had a dual-denim moment on MTV's "TRL"

Blue jeans had the early 2000s in a chokehold: Denim-on-denim was not yet a fashion faux pas and our favorite couples took full advantage.

The Queen B also rocked heeled Timberland boots and a New York Nets brim hat, while Jay- Z matched her fly with a denim jacket and jeans.

The pair was also a vision in gold at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards.

The Carters have one of the most famous relationships in the world.

While there was speculation of their romantic involvement prior to this appearance, they officially made their red carpet debut as a couple in 2004.

Beyoncé wore an eye-catching gold short suit, complete with jewel-encrusted collar, which paired perfectly with Jay-Z's cream suit and fedora.

Brangelina's red carpet looks were just as captivating as their relationship.

At the BAFTAs in 2014, the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" stars rocked similar tuxedos, with Jolie opting for a more relaxed look, leaving her bow-tie unfastened.

She was in head-to-toe Yves Saint Laurent, while Pitt's tuxedo was Valentino — choices that landed them on many "Best Dressed" lists that year.

Pharrell Williams and wife Helen Lasichanh also rocked complementary tuxedo-esque looks for the 2014 Academy Awards.

Apparently, 2014 was quite the year for tuxedo-inspired looks.

Pharrell's tuxedo featured shorts while his wife paired her jacket with skinny jeans and black pumps.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were one of the most influential couples in fashion.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who are now divorcing, built individual fashion empires during their relationship, with Kardashian even crediting West for welcoming her to the world of fashion.

"To Kanye for really introducing me to the fashion world. I fell in love with fashion," she said during her acceptance speech for The Fashion Icon award at the 2021 People's Choice Awards. 

Pictured at the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar party, Kardashian wore a Lee Alexander McQueen "Oyster dress" from his spring 2003 collection, which paired perfectly with West's suede boots and thick gold chain.

According to Vogue, Kardashian's dress — one of only two that made it into production — was a Christmas gift from West himself.

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly were one of the biggest couples to come out of 2020, and they dominated red carpets in 2021.

For their first red carpet appearance together at the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, California, on November 22, 2020, they stayed away from the matchy-matchy vibe, opting for bold silhouettes and skin-baring cutouts.

Fox's two-piece was from Azzi & Osta and Kelly rocked an anything-but-basic Balmain silk set. The plunging torso design showed off his famous body art.

They also wowed at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.

Their rockstar-lifestyle romance saga continued at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards in Los Angeles on May 23, 2021.

Fox showed off her physique in a cutout Mugler dress, while Machine Gun Kelly rocked a deconstructed Balmain tuxedo, once again baring his torso with an unbuttoned, untucked white shirt.

Probably the most shocking component of his look was his black tongue, which he barred for photographers and a tongue tap with Fox.

The couple turned heads once again with their outfits at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards.

For the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Kelly rocked a glimmering red Dolce & Gabbana suit.

The look, reminiscent of Dorthy's heels in the "Wizard of Oz," was a major switch from the typical runway looks we see from male celebrities.

Fox also turned heads in her see-through beaded Mugler dress.

There doesn't seem to be an end in sight for their bold looks — or, as GQ called it, their "Sunset Strip rock'n'roll glamour."

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker have also mastered the art of couple coordination.

The couple rocked all-black outfits as they strolled hand in hand in New York City on October 14, 2021.

All-black does not mean all-basic: Kourtney wore a mesh cut-out top from Cup of Stars and a Rick Owens skirt, which paired perfectly with Barker's zip-detailed pants and oversized sweatshirt.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky were cozy in couture for their first Met Gala appearance as a couple.

The Fenty founder is always one of the most-anticipated arrivals at the Met Gala and this year was no different. The beauty mogul and her rapper beau, ASAP Rocky, were the last celebrities to arrive.

Their ensembles were large, puffy: Rihanna's coat-gown was designed by Balenciaga and she paired it with a matching Stephen Jones Millinery beanie and crystal headpiece.

ASAP Rocky's quilt was from the brand ERL and offered a colorful contrast to Rihanna's all-black moment.
