Selena Gomez & The Weeknd
Selena Gomez and The Weeknd had an epic debut when they walked the 2017 Met Gala red carpet. Unfortunately, they split just months later.
Jennifer Lopez & Alex Rodriguez
Just months after Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez started dating in 2017, they walked the Met Gala red carpet.
Nick Jonas & Priyanka Chopra
Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra didn’t start dating until 2018, but they still walked the Met Gala red carpet together in 2017 when they both attended on behalf of Ralph Lauren. So, that kind of counts, right?
Shawn Mendes & Hailey Baldwin
Shawn Mendes and Hailey Baldwin have still never really explained the extent of their relationship, but there were rumors that they were dating for months before they finally hit the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala.
However, they were also walking for the same brand, and she went on to reunite with now-husband Justin Bieber just weeks later.
Gigi Hadid & Zayn Malik
Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have had a lot of ups and downs over the years, but they were definitely on the upswing when they made their public debut at the 2016 Met Gala.
Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott
Just months after welcoming their first child together, Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner hit another milestone by walking their first red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala. They have since split (but only after welcoming baby No. 2.)
Robert Pattinson & FKA Twigs
Robert Pattinson is often very private about his love life, so it was a big deal when he made his official debut with FKA Twigs at the 2015 Met Gala. The couple split two years later.
Lili Reinhart & Cole Sprouse
Riverdale costars Lili Reinhart and Cole Sprouse sparked romance rumors nearly a full year before they made their debut at the 2018 Met Gala.
