The Met Gala [1] might be synonymous with high fashion, but it also serves as the perfect date night. This year's Met Gala — which took place on 1 May — was full of celebrity couples. Taika Waititi and Rita Ora [2] — who got married last year — smiled for photos in coordinating ensembles, and Josh Groban and his new girlfriend, Natalie McQueen, were among the early arrivals. Meanwhile, longtime couples like Nicole Kidman [3] and Keith Urban [4], and Roger and Mirka Federer all posed together on the famous Metropolitan Museum steps.
Even Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour attended the event with actor Bill Nighy, who she's been linked to since last year, marking their red carpet debut as a couple. Other couples in attendance included Pierce Brosnan [5] and wife Keely Shaye Smith, and James and Julia Corden.
