Award season soirées like the Oscars and the Golden Globe Awards deliver their fair share of stellar celebrity couple moments, however, there’s no denying that the Met Gala is the year’s most star-studded date night — a reputation the event maintained again this year. The guest list for the “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” ball brought a plethora of red carpet returns from various Met veterans, including Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, as well as more under-the-radar couples like Dove Cameron and Damiano David. While each pairing interpreted the “Garden of Time” dress code to varying degrees of realism, they all had one thing in common: Their outfits were ultra-glamorous.

Marking their first joint Met appearance, Kelsea Ballerini and Chase Stokes made their grand entrance hand-in-hand in opposite ensembles. Ballerini stayed true to theme in a floral-embellished mesh Michael Kors gown complete with a few eye-catching cutouts, while the Outer Banks star went a moodier route in a black sequin suit. And then there was Union and Wade, who continued their Met style streak in ocean-inspired designs. Wade’s lavender Versace tuxedo coordinated to his wife’s mermaid-inspired moment courtesy of Marc Jacobs, which was adorned with hundreds of fish scale-esque sequins — a fitting homage to the exhibition’s focus on designs inspired by the “land, sea, and sky.”

And that’s not all. Some pairs even opted for the same designer (just wait until you see Cameron and David’s Diesel numbers). Keep scrolling for close-ups of all the celebrity couples who attended the 2024 Met Gala, and stay tuned to TZR for more from these duos at the after-parties.

The saying “opposites attract” rang true with Ballerini and Stokes’ OOTNs, as the “If You Go Down” singer stunned in an on-theme pink and lavender floral Michael Kors Collection gown and rosy platform Santoni pumps next to Stokes’ all-black sequin tuxedo.

The dynamic duo brought their sartorial prowess to the Met Gala once again in semi-coordinating couture. The ombré purple, green, and teal fish scales in Union’s Michael Kors Collection mermaid gown subtly matched Wade’s lavender Versace suit set.

Even though the young couple both opted for Diesel for their second joint A-list affair ever, their looks couldn’t have been more different. Cameron chose a whimsical floral gown with extravagant sleeves, which complemented the Måneskin singer’s semi-sheer black suit.
