Power Couples Who Stole the Spotlight at the 2025 Met Gala

There’s something magical about the Met Gala - the themes, the couture, the anticipation of who’s attending (and with whom). While the gowns and fashion statements are always centre stage, there’s an undeniable thrill when power couples grace the Met steps together. At the Met Gala 2025, it wasn’t just about personal style, it was about partnership, synchronicity, and fashion-forward love stories.

These couples didn’t just walk the carpet, they owned it. With ensembles that were coordinated yet individual, and chemistry so tangible it rivalled the camera flashes, here are the duos who truly stole the show this year.

1. Rihanna & A$AP Rocky

Rihanna’s midnight-navy sculptural masterpiece by Fenty x Maison Margiela set the tone for an unforgettable evening. With a structured silhouette, crimson-lined train, and oversized sleeves that gave off haute-couture opera energy, she turned the carpet into her personal runway.

A$AP Rocky matched her boldness in a tailored tux with a rebellious twist—a crystal-encrusted “REBEL” trailing down the back. Together, they reminded us that being fashion royalty isn’t just about looks—it’s about presence.

2. Priyanka Chopra & Nick Jonas

This duo always delivers, but 2025 might be their best showing yet. Priyanka wore a tailored white suit-dress hybrid with beaded gloves and a mirrored train by Valentino, a nod to East-meets-West style. Nick matched with a cool grey suit with pearl trim and slicked-back hair. They were sophisticated, modern, and effortlessly in sync.

3. Ciara & Russell Wilson

Ciara never misses a beat—and her 2025 Met look was no exception. Wearing a structured emerald green gown with metallic paneling and a daring slit by Balmain, she turned heads effortlessly. Russell, always her biggest fan and fashion twin, matched in a forest green velvet tux with silver accents. Their outfits were commanding, coordinated, and all heart.

4. Dua Lipa & Callum Turner

Making their Met Gala debut as a couple, Dua Lipa and actor Callum Turner made it a moment. Dua wore a shimmery holographic corset dress by Mugler, paired with dramatic opera gloves and sky-high platforms. Callum kept it sleek in a monochrome suit with an ombré lapel, echoing Dua’s futuristic flair. New love, timeless fashion.

5. Alicia Keys & Swizz Beatz

Alicia Keys brought the city with her in a custom Ralph Lauren look featuring a skyline beaded train, echoing her iconic 2022 Met moment. Swizz Beatz wore a structured black-and-silver ensemble with “Empire State” etched on the lapels. The couple exuded art, music, and modern-classic romance.

6. Gabrielle Union & Dwyane Wade

Gabrielle wore a fiery red velvet gown with beaded shoulders and a cut-out back, designed by LaQuan Smith, while Dwyane stunned in a matching maroon tux with subtle reptile print detailing. The couple’s vibe was bold, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable.

7. Simone Biles & Jonathan Owens

Simone stunned in a floral organza mini gown with a 10-foot detachable train—yes, petite queens can go big too! Jonathan kept things simple with a sharp white tux and bow tie, allowing Simone to take the fashion spotlight while staying close by her side. They were youthful, fun, and pure magic together.

8. Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds

In a surprise twist, Blake returned to the Met carpet in a transformative Versace gown that morphed from gold to baby blue on the steps—cue the gasps. Ryan wore a white tux detailed with embroidered references to Blake’s past Met looks. It was romantic, sentimental, and very on-brand.

In a world that often spotlights solo icons, there’s something extra special about watching couples shine together. It’s not just about matching outfits—it’s about shared creativity, mutual admiration, and storytelling through style. These duos brought their A-game not just to their fashion choices, but to their aura.

The 2025 Met Gala theme may have been “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” but these couples gave us romance, realness, and red carpet revolution.
