The 12 Best Matching Celebrity Couple Outfits

There’s an old wives’ tale that says a dog owner looks like their dog (or vice versa). The same is true with relationships. After you’ve been with one person for enough time, you start to assimilate their habits, which includes their way of dressing. Sometimes, it even means sharing a closet — or at least a sense of style.

In his essay “Tristes Tropiques,” writer Hilton Als muses on the concept of twinning: “The truth is, I have not been myself lately, and for a long time. In the three decades or more since Sir or Lady — or SL — and I have been friends, I have felt myself becoming him, to a certain extent. I’ve adopted his vocal intonations, his vegetarianism, and his candor. He is my second but longer-running we.” Along with subtle traits that rub off on each other in a romantic partnership, as Als refers to, fashion tastes in relationships are also easily assimilated. It can be as simple as seeing your partner look great in a particular outfit and wanting to try the look yourself, or wanting to look compatible in photos.

Many a celebrity pair have taken part in the twinning-couple trend. Just last week, news reports were a flurry about Gigi Hadid and Tyler Cameron couple-dressing. Gigi is a known supporter of twinning with your romantic partner, often sharing iconic outfits with her ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik — not to mention their twinning 2017 Vogue cover. “Sure, celebrity couples matching their outfits in public can sometimes read as unsubtle (Britney and Justin’s double-denim numbers, we’re looking at you), but on a day-to-day level, sharing items of clothing just means your mutual tastes are in sync — and if you’re looking for a healthy relationship, that isn’t necessarily the worst place to start,” writes Vogue.
