"His and hers matching outfits are not a new thing. Zoe Kravitz and Harry Styles have recently been spotted wearing similar beige-on-taupe outfits. Arguably, though, couples dressing is most fun when it does go for gold, or purple: David and Victoria Beckham's matching purple at their wedding is seared on the nation's retinas. Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake famously did it via a wrangle of denim. Then there's the bold tailoring of Elton John and David Furnish, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky,"
