The 2026 Met Gala was a star-studded affair, with many famous couples showcasing their love and style. Here's a look at some of the cutest pairs who graced the red carpet, along with my personal thoughts and commentary on their looks and relationships.
Rihanna and A$AP Rocky
This couple exudes fun and whimsy, and their Met Gala outfits were no exception. Rihanna's custom Maison Margiela by Glenn Martens dress and golden pin-curl crown were a bold statement, while A$AP Rocky's whimsical pink Chanel by Matthieu Blazy ensemble added a playful touch. Their long-term relationship and co-parenting dynamic make them a power couple, and their ability to bring fun and fashion to the red carpet is truly admirable.
Venus Williams and Andrea Preti
As one of the co-chairs of the 2026 Met Gala, Venus Williams had the unique opportunity to bring her husband, Andrea Preti, as her plus-one. Their matching all-black attire, custom Tom Ford, exuded elegance and sophistication. The fact that they've been married for over a decade and are parents to an eight-year-old daughter showcases their enduring love and commitment to each other.
Tom Sturridge and Alexa Chung
This British couple cut a cool figure on the red carpet, with Alexa Chung's custom, Monet-inspired Dior dress and Tom Sturridge's custom Simone Rocha ensemble. Their first public outing as a couple four years ago marked the beginning of a beautiful relationship, and their ability to maintain a stylish and cohesive look together is a testament to their love and compatibility.
Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade
Carving out alone time for romance is a challenge for parents, but Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade made it work at the Met Gala. Their PDA on the red carpet showcased their strong bond and love for each other. As a fan of public displays of affection, I appreciate their willingness to share their love with the world.
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster
These Broadway legends made their Met Gala debut as a couple, and it was a memorable one. Their mutual love of the arts and ability to costar in The Music Man demonstrate their compatibility and shared interests. Their public dating for over a year and attendance at the Met Gala as a couple further solidify their relationship.
Seth Meyers and Alexi Ashe Meyers
This couple's night out at the Met Gala was a stylish affair. Alexi Ashe Meyers' graphic, Yves Klein-inspired dress by Phoebe Philo and Seth Meyers' Gabriela Hearst suit with spider-shaped pins were a unique and creative look. Their appreciation for each other's talents and interests, as evidenced by their matching outfits, is a beautiful aspect of their relationship.
Marcello Hernández and Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral
Marcello Hernández's admiration for his girlfriend, Ana Amelia Batlle Cabral, is evident in his words. Her education, manners, and love for her family make her 'Unreal,' according to him. Their attendance at the Met Gala as a couple showcases their commitment to each other and their willingness to support each other's interests and achievements.
Rebecca Hall and Morgan Spector
Rebecca Hall and Morgan Spector's all-black attire, custom Tom Ford, exuded a 'hot new couple' energy. Their ability to maintain a stylish and cohesive look together, despite being married for over a decade and parents to an eight-year-old daughter, is a testament to their enduring love and compatibility.
Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor
Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor's Knicks-fan attire, with Stiller's bright orange tie and Taylor's cobalt blue gown, was a fun and playful nod to their shared love of basketball. Their long-married status and attendance at the Met Gala together showcase their strong bond and ability to enjoy shared interests.
