Two from the casket

You've probably noticed this pattern: people who have been in close contact for a long time gradually become similar to each other. This applies not only to their views on life, which are similar in close people a priori. Sometimes it seems that girlfriends even outwardly look like two drops of water! And looking at a happy married couple, sometimes you catch yourself thinking, are they brother and sister?

When communicating often, people borrow gestures and facial expressions from each other, this is natural. It is more difficult to explain why some lovers dress almost identically - and not only for social events, but also in everyday life, going to the supermarket near their home. This trend is not yet so noticeable in Russia. It is all the more interesting to look at the photographs of representatives of the Western film, show and fashion business.

Surely celebrity couples know how nice it is to see two harmoniously and stylishly dressed people, who at the same time also treat each other with undisguised trepidation. And deliberately dress similarly. Take a look at one of the most long-lived Hollywood couples - Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith - who share each other's passion not only for blue jeans, white T-shirts and dark glasses, but, it seems, even for a Louis Vuitton purse.

Or maybe there is no calculation here, and over the years of living together, the tastes of people who love each other really become similar? Sometimes one half lures the other over to its side - as happened, for example, with a pair of Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher. It also happens the other way around: the addictions of both sides merge, a new, universal taste in clothing is born, inherent only in this particular pair. This is probably the case with Jennifer Lopez and Mark Anthony. One glance at their joint photo in snow-white evening dresses awakens sympathy for the couple - they look so harmoniously next to each other.

Even after parting, being far from each other, externally ex-spouses may look like two parts of a single whole. This happened with the actors Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who have been happily married for over ten years. Despite the incessant stream of barbs addressed to the couple (mainly due to the small, compared to Kidman's height, Cruise's height), they once managed to create a very beautiful and romantic image. And forever consolidate the status of stars with an excellent sense of taste. Even after the years, after the divorce, looking at the photographs of two actors, who often intersect at all kinds of premieres and social events, you are moved: how good they are, and how they fit together!

If only one of the partners has a sense of taste, the matter is certainly more complicated. The same Tom Cruise, for sure, had to spend a lot of effort to pull up his current “soul mate” and the mother of his long-awaited child Katie Holmes to her level. And all the same, looking at this couple, one involuntarily thinks that “something is wrong in her”, and the phrase “Bring Nicole back!” Is spinning on my lips.

Perhaps one of the most harmoniously dressed couples is the Beckham couple. Whichever photo you look at, Victoria and David always look perfect together. They can wear something classic, sporty or just casual, but the outfits are always beautiful, fashionable and go well with each other. It is customary to attribute a subtle flair in the field of style to Victoria. If David's clothes are really her choice, then this woman's taste is truly worthy of respect. She manages to think through the image of not only her husband, but also their three common children.

It also happens that a couple tries to look stylish together, but both partners clearly lack taste. If a woman cannot advise a man to replace a defiant and unsuitable tie, then the flight of their joint fantasy can hardly give birth to something outstanding. It looks like Ice-T and Coco's simple suits were born in this very situation.

For those who are not quite sure of their choice, it is better to rely on the opinions of stylists. And if two designers work together, they probably know better than anyone how to dress for a joint appearance.

Here is what the designer duo MaiNaim, Victoria Savvateeva and Lada Kalinina think about the clothes of famous couples:

“We believe that if a couple is made up of public people, then in order to go out, it is advisable for them to dress nevertheless in the same style, to try to ensure that the costumes of both are in harmony in color, or, if possible, to achieve a combination of accessories. So, for example, next to a woman in a bright red evening dress will be ideal

look a man in a black suit and a red shirt to match her dress. We liked the way Victoria and David Bekhzm are dressed, but we still give the first place to Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore."

According to fashion designers, the stars need to think more seriously and more often about the compatibility of their outfits, because the ubiquitous paparazzi can catch them in the camera at any time, and the very next day the images will appear on the front pages of the tabloid. That is why Madonna and Guy Ritchie support each other in all manifestations, sometimes not even quite characteristic of one of the partners, as, for example, at this "holiday of noble tweed".

Often, two actors participate in a promotion, for which the similarity of their images is important. For example, it's nice to see how "perfect for each other and in life" Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, who have been trying to get married for ten years. After all, once they created the image of lovers in the film. Such a trick increases the rating of each of them and of the entire project. Concerning

representatives of show business, for example, the soloists of the revived Eurythmics Dave Stewart and Annie Lenox look very stylish in their "men in black-suits".

When choosing matching suits for two, it is important not to overdo it. Stylist Pyotr Aksenov is sure that in clothes, first of all, you need to express your individuality:

“Probably, lovers believe that thanks to similar outfits, they will create an idyllic image. But this is by no means the case. Of course, you need to adhere to some single style, but in no case should you get carried away with imitation, dress in tone with your soul mate and wear absolutely the same accessories - there is some kind of philistinism in this. Each person is unique, individual. And you need to emphasize this individuality in every possible way. Only then will you look really stylish."

MaiNaim echoes Aksenov: “It is important to remember the individuality of each person: not everyone can go with this or that color or style. Therefore, you should not try to outshine your partner. Unless, of course, this is your only goal."
