We're all about the power couples. It just wouldn't feel right without Beyonce and Jay-Z. Or Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. David and Victoria Beckham may be inching their way towards 20 years of marriage, but 2018 has given us some #NewKidsOnTheBlock.
Justin Bieber now comes as a duo act with his new wife, Hailey Baldwin. Nick Jonas now has Priyanka Chopra on his arm with a #Wife. That's without half of Bachelor Nation getting engaged.
Glam used to be all about the ladies. Back in the day of Marilyn Monroe, style was 100% about feminine allure, clingy dresses, and showing a lot of flesh. Audrey Hepburn wore custom Givenchy in Breakfast at Tiffany. Times are changing, though. The men on these ladies' arms are turning into full-blown style icons, and some of them are even out-doing their other halves on the style.
In 2018, GQ listed the year's most dapper male dressers. Travis Scott, Ryan Reynolds, Wiz Khalifa, and Pharrell Williams all made the list. Two years earlier, Idris Elba and Drake were named.
It's time to look at the men who do (or don't) wear the style trousers. Here are 20 of celeb land's biggest couples. 13 have a super-stylish guy, while 7 clearly have the lady leading the way.
20 Travis Scott Might Just Have More Swag Than Kylie Jenner
Literally, no words for how much swag Travis Scott has. Something about this guy's ultra pared-down jeans, deconstructed jackets, gold chains, and braids had us #Hooked from day one (and Saint Laurent chose him as their face for 2018).
Travis Scott doesn't come as a solo act, though. His relationship with Kylie Jenner has been going strong nearly two years, and they're now parents to baby Stormi. This year saw nearly every new celeb couple fall apart. These two? Rock solid.
Kylie may be 100% about the Versace glam, but when it comes to casual looks, her man is leading the way.
19 Hailey Baldwin Is One Step Ahead Of The Biebs
"My wife is awesome." That was the November 2018 Instagram update from Justin Bieber as he announced that his fiancée, Hailey Baldwin is now his wife. #Married these two might be, but music's man of the moment might want to remember that he married a total style queen.
Marry an "it" girl and you've got your work cut out for you.
Hailey doesn't just have the supermodel physique. She's totally nailed athleisurewear with her cut-offs, oversized jackets, Gucci sportswear, and bed-hair. Glamour called her a fashion icon in 2018 (and with good reason).
18 That Time Zayn Malik Gave Gigi Hadid A Run For Her Money
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik nearly broke our hearts for good when The Daily Mail announced their 2018 split. Just in time for the holidays though, The Mirror reported that they're back on. "Flyin home to my happy place" was Gigi's caption to a pic of her and Zayn cozying up on a plane.
Gigi definitely has her style. Cropped tees, 90s jeans, and cat-eye shades give this model an edge, but her boyfriend is almost out-doing her.
Zayn Malik comes with a #Fly. He's got the suave hairdos, trendy jackets, slick footwear, and the kind of posture that makes us do a double-take. Ultimately? #WellPaired
17 Kim Wears Vintage Versace, Kanye Can't Find Shoes That Fit
Kim Kardashian is an indisputable style queen. Whether it's Yeezy sweats paired with heels or custom-made Dior, this Kardashian flies the flag for trends. Here is Kim with Kanye West at 2Chainz's wedding – when the event is at the Versace Mansion in Miami, you wear vintage Versace.
And these $150 Yeezy slides and a Louis Vuitton suit? Questionable. What got everyone talking, though, was the size.
Kanye didn't scrimp on the designer, here. His suit is, indeed, Louis Vuitton. Everyone's eyes were on the shoes, though. The self-proclaimed "highest-paid man in footwear," according to GQ is still on the hunt for a shoe that fits.
16 Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom (You Be The Judge)
Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom go way back. Following their high-profile split, Cosmopolitan reported their #BackOn status in May 2018. "I'm not single," Katy told Bachelorette contestant, Becca Kufrin. That left everyone assuming that Katy and Orlando are giving it another shot.
Speaking of shots. Pics like these have surfaced. Katy always had a unique style – the early days threw us about as much bubblegum latex as we could handle.
The dapper dresser here? Likely a #Winner for Orlando. This guy might have a bit of a player reputation, but he sure is one snappy dresser.
15 Nick Jonas Has Yet To Master Layering (Priyanka Chopra Doesn't Even Need To Try Hard)
Nick Jonas' 2018 wedding to Priyanka Chopra hands-down wins #WeddingGoals of the year. These two tied the knot in the most stunning Indian wedding we've ever seen – we'll still be gushing over the pics come Christmas 2019.
Priyanka Chopra has done pretty well for herself. This former beauty pageant queen is now a Hollywood A-Lister, but being undeniably stylish has helped.
Vogue now knocks on Priyanka's door for their 73 questions. Nick wasn't quite layering 73 looks here, but he did seem to be attempting 2018's athleisure-come-layered look. It's a learning curve, right?
14 Every Time A-Rod Was On-Point (And JL0 Was A Tad Too Much)
Alex Rodriguez has spent most of his career on the pitch. The baseball superstar is now more dapper suits than New York Yankees outfits, though. At 49 years old, Jennifer Lopez is 6 years older than A-Rod. Her style? Well, it's either super casual or super fancy.
There is such thing as a little too fancy, like Jen's $19,000 Hermès gym bag (that even In Style called "flashy").
Jen and A-Rod are #CouplesGoals. That's non-negotiable. It's when the man is stepping out looking #BangOn (while his girl looks a little #TooPolished) that he gets to wind up on the dapper side of this list.
13 Tristan Thomspon Doesn't Have Much To Be Proud Of (But He Coordinates Better Than Khloe Kardashian)
Tristan Thompson may well be counting his lucky stars that Khloe Kardashian didn't call it quits straight away back in April 2018. ["Messed up"] is how Kim called this couple's drama on The Ellen Show.
Khloe definitely has a unique style. It's gotten more casual, but the loud animal prints and $60,00 crocodile Hermès purses are there. True even sat in one recently, The Daily Mail reports.
There's a catch, though. It's called getting it all to match. Khloe might have the world's designers at her feet, but in this pic, casual Tristan was leading the style wars.
12 Sofia Richie Literally Wears The Trousers (Scott Disick Doesn't Seem To Mind)
Scott Disick is a well-dressed guy. The self-proclaimed "Lord" has a veritable kingdom's worth of Gucci shirts and Versace sneakers in his closets, and for the most part, the guy is #Dapper.
Scott's relationship with Sofia Richie mostly makes headlines for clashing with Kourtney Kardashian (although TMZ did snap the three of them in Mexico over Christmas). Our eye? It's on the style.
Sofia is a model with the kind of youthful style that Hailey Baldwin pulls off. At 20, she's also 15 years younger than Scott. In this case? Literally wearing the trousers, Sofia is 15 years ahead when it comes to fashion.
11 Gucci Mane Steps It Up Next To Keyshia Ka'Oir
When you call yourself Gucci Mane, it's expected that you put your money where your mouth is. This rapper's Instagram is mostly shots of himself and his wife, Keyshia Ka'Oir. If they aren't emptying Fendi, they're showing how they did it.
Yes, it's those times where the girl wore "a little too much" Fendi. Gucci Mane got it right here. Keyshia had room to tone it down.
The designer monograms on this couple are unreal. Keyshia wears Gucci boots, bodysuits, and bags. Beyonce wore the same outfit, but she saved it for her On The Run tour. Gucci wins here (and he's doing it with Fendi).
10 Beyonce Wins (But Jay-Z Technically Has An Excuse)
Beyonce just has that swag. She stands with a pose that only Beyonce can pull off, and the camera just works with this girl. Bey's style can be pretty full-on with those glittering dresses and daring necklines, but she does have a remarkable ability to keep it practical.
Bey and Jay are the kinds of twosome who were made to #Match. This 2013 look saw Jay-Z wear a $24 "Blame Society" tee, Global Grind reports.
With her shorts, heels, and that matching hat though, Beyonce is steaming ahead of her husband. Jay is a dapper dresser, but Beyonce won this one.
9 Pharrell Might Be Shorter, But He's Beating Helen Lasichanh In The Style Files
Pharell Williams landed a spot on GQ's Most Stylish men in 2015 (before continuing to prove his point). The "Happy" singer has walked runways for Chanel couture. His fashion collaborations include the 2004 Louis Vuitton Millionaire Sunglasses, 2014's Moynat bags, and Moncler's 2009 outerwear, Complex reports.
At 5'9,'' Pharell is shorter than his 5'11'' wife, Helen Lasichanh. The guy more than makes up for it with style, though.
This 2017 Met Gala pic showed a couple where the man wears the fashion trousers. While Just Jared reports that both were wearing Commes des Garcons, one of those outfits is probably #BestNotRepeated.
8 Bella Hadid & The Weeknd Are Neck And Neck (He Wins By 1%)
Bella Hadid went from being Gigi Hadid's lower-profile sister to 2018's bonafide "it girl." This supermodel owns her tall frame with an endlessly stylish carousel of '90s denims, cropped jackets, Louis Vuitton bags, and the X factor that makes her as famous as she is.
Bella is now back on with The Weeknd, Seventeen reports. Much like Pharell and his wife, Bella and The Weeknd are a couple where the girl is taller. The style? It's pretty much neck-and-neck.
We're giving The Weeknd a 1% advantage here for jeans and footwear that make Bella's look a touch basic. Otherwise, these two are total #StyleGoals.
7 Victoria & David Beckham Have A Similar Deal (She Wins By 1%)
Victoria and David Beckham celebrated 19 years of marriage in 2018. That's over 20 years of #RelationshipGoals, and yes, a ton of style with each passing year. The "WAG" years are over for Victoria. Forbes reports:
Victoria Beckham's fashion empire has earned her a net worth of $450 million. Her designs are worn by Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, and Eva Longoria.
While these two were dressed up to the nines for a wedding here, the style was so impeccable, it almost hurt. Victoria wins for having her own fashion house, a touch more style than David, plus all those Vogue covers she fronts.
6 Kit Harington Is #GameOfOwning Rose Leslie
2018 threw us a lot of weddings. Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra. Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin. A possible #Marriage from Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.
The fairytale castle wedding of Game of Thrones' Kit Harington and Rose Leslie might have been ultra-polished, but these two are lax as you get when it comes to fashion.
Shopping at The Gap in LA they might have been, but one half of this couple stood out for the #Style. Kit's ultra-slick boot and jeans pairing blew Leslie's loose getup out the water. Now that they're married, it's unlikely that they care, though.
5 Mila Kunis Couldn't Care Less That Ashton Kutcher Has #ATouchMoreStyle
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher just don't stop throwing us #CouplesGoals. These two might keep their kids away from the cameras, but the love is wide in the open. While Mila and Ashton are Hollywood A-Listers, dressing the part just isn't their jam.
"I don't wear makeup. I don't wash my hair every day. It's not something I associate with myself,"
Mila was reported as saying by Pop Sugar. To be fair, they're both ultra-casual, here. Ashton gets a #MatchPoint for the boots (and appearing to have made somewhat of an effort with the knitwear).
4 Taking A Gamble With Kris Jenner (Corey Wins)
It's pretty good going for Kris Jenner, who is now 63 years old. Looking way younger than her years (and possibly working harder than all of her kids put together), Kris continues to run the KarJenner empire with the #IronFist that all good "momagers" should have. In fact, she's trademarked the word, TMZ reports.
At 38 years old, Corey Gamble is over two decades younger than Kris. Happy with the man she has called her "ride or die," Kris takes to the streets (and the red carpet) with Corey.
This Met Gala appearance from 2017 showed a lot of glitz, but it came with a #TooMuch for Kris. Corey? Looks like he nailed it.
3 Lady Gaga's Fabrics Are #LightYearsAhead Of Christian Carino
We could swoon over these two forever. In 2018, Lady Gaga confirmed her engagement to Christian Carino at an Elle event. Here's a pic from it, where Gaga is wearing a Marc Jacobs suit.
Once a #Overdone show of neon wigs, meat dresses, and the most random outfit combos we ever saw, Gaga's style has evolved into the kinds of goals that have made her a total style icon.
Christian, we should add, is by no means looking basic here. Still, when you're standing next to Gaga in those fabrics and hues, you get to give her the style crown.
2 When Kaley Cuoco Seemed Pumped (But Karl Cook Seemed Unimpressed)
Kaley Cuoco might feel a bit "off the radar" right now, but being The Big Bang Theory's star hardly makes you a C-Lister. Kaley and the cast were the first TV show crew to earn the $1 million per episode salary since Friends, Forbes reports.
Kaley's 2015 divorce from Ryan Sweeting feels like old news. In 2018, Kaley married Karl Cook. Married couples hit the grocery store, which is precisely where these two were papped (actually it, was Whole Foods).
With her yoga wardrobe and less-than-Kardashian style, Kaley was never one to up the style. Her husband, Karl Cook wins here by virtue of that (although we're not quite sure what Kaley is so excited about).
1 Sorry, Katherine Schwarzenegger, Chris Pratt Is #Winning
Chris Pratt just keeps going uphill. First, it was his journey from Parks and Recreations sitcom face to Guardians of the Galaxy mega-star. Chris' 2017 divorce from Anna Faris wasn't exactly a picnic, but this guy has moved on. His new lady is Katherine Schwarzenegger.
Chris Pratt started out homeless. Living in a van and serving Bubba Gump Shrimp to this? #WoahDude
People shared this Atlanta date night pic of Chris and Katherine. The girl has style, but please. It's Chris we're looking at, here.
This one's for the guys – hit share on Facebook for something that'll land on peoples' feeds (and actually make them re-think celeb style queens).
