Surprisingly, celebrity love is just like non-celebrity love. Just like, say, you and us, when celebrities are head over heels for each other, they want to do everything together. They want to travel together. Eat together. Go to Disneyland together. Sometimes, they even want to build outfits together. What’s different about celebrity love and non-celebrity love, though, is when famous people do all these things—the good and the bad—there are cameras capturing every bit of it.
Yes, when two stars love each other very, very much, they dress alike. Sometimes that works out for the best, creating unforgettably beautiful images. Other times, though, the coupled celebs create lasting, transcendent moments of pure badness. People, these are those images, these are those moments. Share with your significant other, and then head to your closets inspired and informed.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
This is the moment that instantly pops to mind when you think about matchy-matchy celeb couples. This denim-on-denim-on-denim-on-denim situation from the 2001 American Music Awards is the be–all and end–all—hence we’re starting with it. Inspired yet? Yes, you are.
Kanye West and Kim Kardashian
If Justin and Britney were the couple of the early aughts, Kim and Kanye are the couple of right now. Truly, the two never miss a chance to dress alike. We could fill up an entire post of them matching colors, themes, shapes, textures. Hell, someone already did!
Victoria Beckham and David Beckham
On the rocks? Perhaps. But whatever happens to this couple in the future, we have a past of magical matchiness that goes all the way back to their beginnings. Honestly, we hope the rumors are all lies because we would miss these two on the red carpet together. They’re like the little man and the little woman on the top of the wedding cake.
Kate Moss and Jamie Hince
Sometimes you have to wonder if The Kills drummer and the supermodel got married for the sole purpose of always having someone to go shopping with for distressed jeans, weathered leather jackets, and rocker scarves.
Zoë Kravitz and Twin Shadow
On a lesson in styling leather with jeans, look no further than these two. Such samesies. This is when mirroring absolutely works.
Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
Remember the days, not so long ago, when this couple could be seen dashing through LAX or Heathrow airports scrubby, unwashed, and very sexy in basically the same outfit? Did they share flannels? You bet they did. When Stewart moved on to Alicia Cargile, she also seemed to pair up with her style-wise (we’ll see about Soko). Pattinson, for his part, does not dress at all like FKA twigs. It's a shame.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
These two have a long track record of showing up in all-black together. A long track record. This moment from the 2014 British Academy Film awards, however, stands above the rest. Really, his tux is nothing to write home about—but coupled with her tux, it’s a simply brilliant fashion statement.
Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black
Oh, hey, guys. Well done. We love a good casual look, and two of something we love is twice as good, right? No, seriously, these two always seem to chat it out before they step out together. If only they wore the same size, things could get even more interesting.
Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake
We said it was the be-all and end-all, didn’t we? It is the alpha and the omega of celebrities dressing alike. The beginning and the end.
