What celebrity couples have worn for their first red-carpet appearances together

• Famous couples have a history of making stylish red-carpet appearances together.
• John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, for example, walked their first carpet together in simple outfits.
• Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld took the same approach to their recent red-carpet debut.

It's always a major moment when two stars make their first appearance as a couple on a red carpet.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen did so in 2008, Elon Musk and Grimes followed in 2018, and now Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld have had their red-carpet moment.

Here's a look at what those celebrity couples and others have worn for their relationship debuts.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith embodied '90s style at the "Devil in a Blue Dress" premiere.

Pinkett Smith looked stunning in a long blue skirt and a matching bralette with straps that crisscrossed over her stomach. She also wore silver sandals, a choker necklace, and tiny sunglasses.

Smith, on the other hand, wore a gray suit with white stripes, a white shirt, and patchwork shoes.

The couple revealed in 2023 that they've been separated since 2016 but remain close.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. coordinated in leather for the MTV Movie Awards in 2000.

Prinze Jr. wore an all-black ensemble that included a leather blazer, standard T-shirt, trousers, and shiny dress shoes.

Gellar seemingly channeled her "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" character in a blue halter top, leather pants, and sandals.

Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford confirmed their relationship at the 2002 premiere of "K-19: The Widowmaker."

Flockhart wore a white tank top, ankle-length skirt, and matching sandals, while Ford wore a traditional suit with a blue button-up shirt.

A few months later, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck walked together at the "Maid in Manhattan" premiere.

Lopez looked like a princess in a sleeveless blush gown with a layered, ruffled skirt. She also added a diamond necklace, drop earrings, and an updo hairstyle.

Affleck chose a standard suit with a lavender satin tie.

The couple broke up in 2004 but got back together in 2021. They then married in 2022 and filed for divorce in 2024.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé attended the MTV Video Music Awards together about three years after starting their relationship.

Jay-Z showed off numerous fashion trends from the early aughts, including sunglasses with colored lenses, an oversize suit, a yellow striped tie, and a tan fedora.

Beyoncé coordinated in a sparkling two-piece set. Her long-sleeved shirt had a V-shaped neckline and crystal embellishments on the sleeves and neckline, and her shorts were made from the same printed fabric. She also wore a curly hairstyle and strappy sandals.

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen walked their first red carpet together at the 2008 Grammy Awards.

Legend opted for a black suit with a velvet vest and a high-neck shirt underneath. Teigen, on the other hand, wore a shimmering gown with one short sleeve and a strap on the other side.

In 2018, Teigen reflected on the look via Instagram, writing: "Grammys 2008. 10 years ago. This tan!!! Lmao."

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade incorporated red into their outfits while attending the Summer Groove Benefit Dinner in 2010.

Union opted for a red, long-sleeved dress with a daring cutout across her chest. She also wore silver hoops and rosy makeup.

Wade chose a mismatched suit with a cream jacket, white shirt, and gray pants, though he also included a red pocket square to match Union. 

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber looked elegant at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

Their outfits were seemingly coordinated, with Gomez wearing a strapless red gown and Bieber wearing a red pocket square with his all-black ensemble. They also wore accessories that fell in line with their personal styles: Gomez wore red lipstick, and Bieber wore black sneakers.

The couple broke up in March 2018. 

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian walked the red carpet together for the first time at the 2012 "Cruel Summer" premiere.

Kanye went for a casual look, wearing a cream blazer and white shirt over light-washed jeans and velvet loafers.

Kardashian took the opposite approach, sticking with her usual glam in a patterned minidress and black ankle-length boots.

Kardashian filed for divorce from the rapper in February 2021.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds evoked old Hollywood glamour for their 2014 Met Gala appearance.

Lively's gown — designed by Gucci — was made from silk chiffon and rose-gold sequins. It had a plunging neckline, mermaid-style skirt, and chiffon scarves that extended into a long train behind her. She completed the look with curled hair and red lipstick.

Reynolds also looked classic in a velvet tuxedo, white shirt, and bow tie.

Russell Wilson and Ciara put personal touches on their coordinated red-carpet looks at the 2015 BET Awards.

Wilson's suit jacket was encrusted with black sequins that matched Ciara's bedazzled gown from Wes Gordon. The football player also wore ripped jeans and dress shoes, while the musician chose gold sandals to match her daring dress.

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton walked hand in hand at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.

The couple's outfits were completely different. Stefani wore a red, semi-sheer gown covered in fabric that looked like flower petals. It was designed by Yanina Couture.

Shelton chose a more casual look that included jeans, brown boots, a blazer, and a black button-down shirt.

Bindi Irwin and Chandler Powell showed their casual styles at the 2016 Country Music Channel Awards.

Irwin chose a floral, long-sleeved minidress, see-through heels, and a braided hairstyle, while her now-husband opted for a navy blazer, white button-up shirt, jeans, and dress shoes.

Rose Leslie and Kit Harington wore elegant ensembles to confirm their relationship at the 2016 Olivier Awards.

Leslie wore a black-and-silver dress with a strapless top and a two-tiered skirt. She also paired it with a thin necklace and updo hairstyle.

Harington perfectly complemented his now-wife in a classic tuxedo and bow tie.

Jennifer Lopez and Alexander Rodriguez attended their first Met Gala together in chic ensembles.

Though Rodriguez looked dapper in a navy tuxedo and black bow tie from Tom Ford, Lopez stole the show in her Valentino gown at the 2017 event.

The baby-blue dress was sleeveless with a semi-sheer, high-neck overlay that extended into a long train. Lopez wore an updo hairstyle, a sparkling clutch, and Harry Winston jewels.

They ended their relationship and two-year engagement in 2021.

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas also looked fashionable together at the 2017 Met Gala — despite not officially being a couple yet.

Chopra's trench-coat style dress — which had an off-the-shoulder sleeve, plunging neckline, and giant skirt — was custom-made for her by Ralph Lauren. Jonas also wore a unique Ralph Lauren ensemble that night: a patterned suit jacket over a white shirt and bow tie.

Selena Gomez and The Weeknd opted for contrasting looks at the same event.

Gomez's Coach dress was pink, sleeveless, and covered in lace and floral details. She also wore gold sandals, carried a small purse, and donned vibrant pink eye shadow.

The Weeknd chose a more classic look, which included a black suit, bow tie, and flower-shaped brooch.

The former couple dated for about 10 months that year.

Scarlett Johansson looked stylish alongside Colin Jost at the 2018 "Avengers: Infinity War" premiere.

Her reflective Erdem dress was strapless and covered in crystals and pearls. She also wore black sandals, a shiny choker, and a short curled hairstyle.

Jost, on the other hand, went with a classic black suit, dress shoes, and a striped tie.

"Stranger Things" stars Charlie Heaton and Natalia Dyer wore whimsical outfits to the 2017 Fashion Awards.

Heaton's look included a yellow bomber jacket with embroidered flowers, while Dyer's ensemble consisted of a maroon star-print dress and black sandals.

Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor both wore black to the 2017 Time 100 Gala.

Taylor chose an ankle-length dress with sheer patterned sleeves, and Paulson wore a longer gown with a lace bodice and a sheer, polka-dot print cape.

They had previously attended the 2016 Critics' Choice Awards together, though the Time 100 Gala was the first place they walked the red carpet as a couple.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner wore edgy looks to the 2018 Met Gala.

Jenner's Alexander Wang gown stood out thanks to its strapless top, daring cutout, velvet skirt, and zipper detailing. Scott wore the same designer, matching Jenner in an all-black ensemble with a leather belt and shoulder strap. 

The couple's on-and-off relationship officially ended at the start of 2023. They share two children together.

At the same event, Elon Musk and Grimes showed off their couple style for the first time.

Whereas Musk's outfit was pretty simple — he wore a white top and blazer with dress pants — Grimes' ensemble was much more detailed. 

She wore a strapless dress with a white bodice, a black high-low skirt, semi-sheer gloves, and platform boots. The musician also wore a silver necklace that looked like the Tesla logo.

The former couple, who share three children, broke up in March 2022.

Joshua Jackson and Jodie Turner-Smith chose unique colors for their 2019 red-carpet debut.

Jackson looked dapper in a green suit with a matching vest underneath, and Turner-Smith dazzled in a sleeveless blue dress with a crimped overlay. She also wore a shining black choker necklace and black sandals.

Turner-Smith filed for divorce in October 2023.

At the 2019 LACMA Art + Film Gala, Keanu Reeves walked the red carpet with his girlfriend, Alexandra Grant.

Grant dazzled in a sleeveless blue gown with sparkling bands across its bodice, and Reeves wore an all-black suit with a vest and tie. 

Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly wore completely different outfits for the 2020 American Music Awards.
