All the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years
One of our favorite Hollywood power couples Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, for example, only made their debut at the 2014 Met Gala when they were already married and shared their first daughter together.
'It was the first time we were ever on the red carpet together,' Lively told Us Weekly of the moment. 'It was scary to put yourself out there like that, but then it also seems really silly to be standing five feet from each other and refusing to stand together. It's always that tricky balance of keeping your privacy but then also not being absurd. And then there's also that thing where you think, 'It would be nice for our kids to see a photo of Mommy and Daddy dressed up together.'' Indeed it was! The two looked absolutely dazzling on the carpet.
Check out some of our favorite red carpet debuts over the years below!

Pamela Anderson Wears Over 20 Carats in Diamonds in a Rare Outing With Her Sons
She also rewore a sentimental diamond Gist Pamela Anderson wore a custom Thom Browne navy gown to the New York premiere of The Naked Gun on July 28. She paired the simple column dress with around 20 carats in Pandora diamonds. She also rewore a diamond brooch previously worn by her son to the Met Anderson is firmly in her elegant Hollywood star era. From her understated no makeup-makeup looks to her timeless, bouncy old Hollywood bob to her heavenly gowns, every recent red carpet appearance has been a masterclass in taste and style. Her latest looks is another example. For the July 28 premiere of her upcoming comedy action film The Naked Gun, Anderson was joined by her sons Brandon Thomas and Dylan Jagger Lee. She looked every inch the glamorous leading lady in a timeless midnight navy satin column dress with a sweeping boatneck—a custom creation by Thom Browne. She paired the dress with sheer netted lace gloves and a few pieces of megawatt jewelry—roughly 20 carats in Pandora diamonds to be precise. In a sweet, sentimental nod to her son Brandon, she also rewore the diamond brooch that he wore at this year's Met Gala while accompanying his mother. Anderson completed her look with a soft side-parted bob styled in swooping waves and her signature barely-there makeup. Anderson's look is only the latest in her streak of chic red carpet ensembles that spare no expense when it comes to the accessories. Just take her recent forest green plissé peplum gown, which she paired with $20,000 worth of diamonds, her simple purple gown paired with 15 carats of diamonds, or her magical silver-blue gown that she once again paired with diamond earrings. As Anderson recently told us at InStyle, a well put-together look gives her the confidence to rock the red carpet. 'I'm actually quite shy—I'm okay if I'm on a stage—but I'm really shy, and I'm trying to get better at that,' she said. 'It's been a journey, but if you're wearing great clothes, that's a good first [step] that builds your confidence.' Read the original article on InStyle Solve the daily Crossword

Decoding those Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dating rumours, after they were spotted at dinner
Today in news that no one could have possibly predicted, it looks like Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are kinda/maybe/sorta dating? Or at the very least they were spotted having dinner — during what looks to be a cozy night out. TMZ broke the news (and has pics!) of Katy and the former Canadian Prime Minister eating at what they refer to as "a swanky restaurant in Montreal," where eyewitnesses report that they "sipped cocktails and shared several dishes ... including one with lobster." For what it's worth, Katy is currently in Canada on tour — so maybe they're just catching up? Or maybe this is a date, who can say! Either way, a couple things to note: 1. Justin split from his wife Sophie in 2023, after 18 years of marriage. 2. Katy and Orlando Bloom called it quits earlier this year, with their rep confirming the news to Us Weekly by saying "Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect." Meanwhile, a source told People that "Katy and Orlando have been suffering through the same problems that have plagued them for years. [They had] too much going on in their lives, which makes it hard to find time for each other and iron out disagreements. When they don't communicate properly, their relationship dips to a low level." This insider added that they'd "been living on an island of stress" and that "sometimes love isn't enough to keep two people with different styles and outlooks on how things are done [together]. It can overshadow the love."

Did Fan Backlash Push Pedro Pascal To Change Stylists?
NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 01: Pedro Pascal attends the 2023 Met Gala Celebrating "Karl Lagerfeld: A ... More Line Of Beauty" at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 01, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic) Pedro Pascal didn't become a household name overnight. His decades-long acting career finally exploded with the success of HBO's The Last of Us, which turned him into an award s-season regular and a bona fide 'daddy' to his online fans. And while his onscreen presence was undoubtedly part of his appeal, his red carpet looks became almost as talked about as his leading man roles, thanks to stylist Julie Ragolia. The Pedro Pascal one sees today wasn't an accident. It was a deliberate rebrand, in partnership with Ragolia, focusing on creating a celebrity persona predicated on something rare: a man over 50 who dressed with humor, sensuality and no concern for fitting the traditional mold of a Hollywood leading man. Whether it was a sheer blouse and Valentino cape at the Met Gala or the now-famous Saint Laurent thigh-high boots, Pascal's fashion choices stood out because he never looked like he was trying to please anyone but himself. 'I'm a storyteller,' Ragolia told GQ in an email earlier this month, 'I told a story about how men of a certain age can still be seen as sexy.' She didn't chase trends or try to flatten Pascal into another suit-wearing A-lister; instead, Ragolia worked with Pascal to create a style that was uniquely his own on and off the press junket. 'Stylists are not dictators. We are collaborators,' Ragolia tweeted earlier this year. With this philosophy, Ragolia and Pascal collaborated on looks which both complemented his onscreen persona, while softening the edges, blurring gender lines and showing a confidence in dressing that's often lost for men hitting their middle ages.

More Series "The Last of Us" Season 2 at TCL Chinese Theater on March 24, 2025 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) And, in turn, fans began to take notice—and quickly. Stan accounts dedicated to Pascal's every move dissected his outfits with the fervor usually reserved for pop stars, with more than one of his fashion choices being describes as 'breaking the internet'. His thighs trended. His scarves became talking points. But with that attention came entitlement from the same fans that celebrated Ragolia's stylistic choices in dressing Pascal. Ragolia revealed in April that she had received death threats over one of Pascal's outfits. 'One of you called for my death because you didn't like Pedro's outfit,' she posted. '…I'm just going to let you sit with your obsession.' It's not the first time a stylist has been caught in the crossfire of fan culture. But the Pascal fandom, like many others today, operates at a volume and intensity that's hard to manage. Some fans see themselves as curators of their favorite star's image, and when reality doesn't align with fantasy, the response can turn hostile. Stylists, who are often invisible until something goes 'wrong,' end up as easy targets and take the blame for the perceived mistakes from the fandom. CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 17: Pedro Pascal during the "Eddington" photocall at the 78th annual Cannes ... More Film Festival at Palais des Festivals on May 17, 2025 in Cannes, France. (Photo by) This has resulted in speculation that the intensity of Pascal's fanbase became too much for Ragolia, The two parted ways after Cannes, and since then, Pascal has begun working with Jamie Mizrahi, whose client list includes Jennifer Lawrence and Jeremy Allen White. Mizrahi is no stranger to high-profile, closely scrutinized figures, and so far, her work with Pascal suggests a clear throughline from Ragolia's original approach. On recent press stops for Eddington and The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Pascal has worn looks that continue to emphasize proportion, softness, and a willingness to blur traditional gender codes. Whether that direction is Mizrahi's choice or Pascal's own preference is hard to say, but the consistency—and the timing—suggests a deliberate effort to keep Pascal's public image unaffected as award season approaches. While it has not been confirmed that the reason behind Pascal's stylist shake-up, there is no doubt that stylists are an easy target when a fan base is riled up. From death threats to constant online criticism, Julie Ragolia's success as a stylist was often overlooked by fans for the perceived 'mistakes' she made in her longtime collaboration with Pedro Pascal. For now, it's too early to tell how Jamie Mizrahi will put her own stamp on Pascal's public image; but one can only hope that the celebrity's fanbase is a little more forgiving to her than, perhaps, it had been to Ragolia.
