All the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years

If you love keeping up with celebrity couples as much as we do, you know how special red carpet debuts can be. From unexpected PDA to loving smiles, it’s the first time the world gets to observe a couple officially together, and it’s always a sight to see. Not to mention red carpet debuts can serve a purpose too — they let the couple tell their story, confirm their relationship, and put an end to all the rumors and speculation.

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!
