Most celebs love shining alone in the spotlight, but the law of pop culture fashion physics actually deems: the A-factor sum total of two genetically-blessed humans on a red carpet is infinitely greater than the sum of stars flying solo.
In other words: a hot couple facing paparazzi gets way more than double the attention. Case in point these 20 beautiful pairings at this year’s Met Gala (the event formerly known as the Costume Institute Gala) in New York.
