Love was definitely in the air for 2021. We watched new pairings like Zoe Kravitz and Channing Tatum emerge, old flames like J. Lo and Ben Affleck rekindle, and existing couples like Ciara and Russell Wilson continue to thrive. But the couples who stole the spotlight all year were the ones who came through with the utmost style and grace. Check them out below.
1. Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan
Lori Harvey and Michael B. Jordan ruled the year with many of their fashion looks, individually and as a duo. After all, there’s no way that Lori paired with GQ’s “Sexiest Man Alive” could go unnoticed. Some of their most stylish looks include a coordinated Prada suite and gown for Amazon’s Without Remorse Premiere, light brown and white get-ups for Lori’s SKN by LH launch party, and their silver and black Valentine’s Day date night ensemble.
2. Rihanna and ASAP Rocky
Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are probably the couple that we were happiest to see finally get together in 2021. The only thing better than that, was the looks that they pulled off together. Rih and Rocky stole the show at this year’s Met Gala; with her rocking a Balenciaga overcoat and him sporting an ERL quilt coat. The couple also stunned at the British Fashion Awards where Rihanna rocked a mint, satin dress and Rocky donned an oversized black suit.
3. Beyoncé and Jay-Z
Beyoncé and Jay Z keep getting better with time. It’s safe to say that every time this duo stepped out, they were ALWAYS in style and KILLING IT. The pair stunned in a fall 2021 ad for Tiffany and Co. with Beyoncé modeling a skin-tight black gown and timeless jewelry pieces such as the Tiffany Diamond, and Jay sporting a classic black and white suit. They pair also stunted when they stepped out to celebrate Hov’s 52nd Birthday. Bey wore a sparkling Balenciaga x Gucci blazer and leggings, and Jay kept it casual in all black.
4. Cardi B and Offset
Cardi B has always been known to serve the fashion looks, but one thing we really loved to see this year is how she's been able to help Offset evolve his style as well. The two definitely pulled off a lot of edginess while at this year’s Paris Fashion Week. Offset walked the Spring/Summer 2022 Balenciaga runway sporting an oversized leather jacket, black hoodie, and button-up tied around his waist and met up with Cardi who was wearing a colorful Balenciaga trench coat, and over the top black headpiece. Another look included Cardi wearing a gorgeous Schiaparelli tweed-style coat with an extravagant gold headpiece, and Offset who sported a leather Prada button up with matching pants.
5. Steve and Marjorie Harvey
Steve and Marjorie Harvey have shown us that you can look fashionable just about anywhere. On the plane, on a yacht, on a snow resort – just about everywhere. And they continually show up and show out with the classiest looks. Some of our favorites include when Steve wore a lavender Dolce and Gabbana suit, paired with Marjorie who wore a stunning Dolce and Gabbana beaded black mesh dress. Another favorite is when the two stepped out in all black looks in Paris this October. Marjorie wore a beautiful Alexandre Vauthier black satin wrap dress, while Steve sported a Fendi Fall 2021 black satin coat and striped shirt, with Dolce and Gabbana leather pants.
6. Emily B. and Fabolous
As a stylist herself, it’s only right that we include Emily B and her beau rapper Fabolous. The pair always show up crushing any style of fashion. From ski attire to streetwear to classic looks, this couple always gives what’s needed and does so effortlessly.
7. Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union
Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union probably had the most refreshing looks of 2021. The pair definitely stunned when they attended the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Gala, but some of our favorite looks were when the pair both wore Giorgio Armani to the Wall Street Journal “Future of Everything” virtual festival. As well as when the pair celebrated their anniversary; Gabrielle wore a beautiful Valentino Haute Couture ruffled ball gown and Dwyane opted in for a black suit and bare chest.
