All the Best Red Carpet Debuts From Celebrity Couples Over the Years
If you love keeping up with celebrity couples as much as we do, you know how special red carpet debuts can be. From unexpected PDA to loving smiles, it's the first time the world gets to observe a couple officially together, and it's always a sight to see. Not to mention red carpet debuts can serve a purpose too — they let the couple tell their story, confirm their relationship, and put an end to all the rumors and speculation. One of our favorite Hollywood power couples Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, for example, only made their debut at the 2014 Met Gala when they were already married and shared their first daughter together. 'It was the first time we were ever on the red carpet together,' Lively told Us Weekly of the moment. 'It was scary to put yourself out there like that, but then it also seems really silly to be standing five feet from each other and refusing to stand together. It's always that tricky balance of keeping your privacy but then also not being absurd. And then there's also that thing where you think, 'It would be nice for our kids to see a photo of Mommy and Daddy dressed up together.'' Indeed it was! The two looked absolutely dazzling on the carpet. Check out some of our favorite red carpet debuts over the years below! A version of this article was originally published in April 2023.

'And last, but not least, my fiancée, Hailee, who…you've been my rock,' Allen said to Steinfeld as he accepted his award. 'You are my best friend. I would not be standing on this stage if it weren't for you.' Allen and Steinfeld, who have been dating since 2023, announced their engagement in November 2024.

Hollywood's former power couple, Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum, made their long-awaited red carpet debut at the Blink Twice premiere on Aug. 8, 2024. The moment, of course, meant a lot for the couple.

Kravitz and Tatum began dating in 2021 and got engaged in October 2023. NBA champion Jaylen Brown and WNBA star Kysre Gondrezick confirmed all the rumors of their relationship as they stepped out together at the 2024 ESPY Awards and made their red carpet-debut.

Joining the list of couples who were together for a long time before attending a red carpet together, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson made their debut after four years of dating at the Dior Fall 2023 Menswear Show. Looking at these two together, it's safe to say the wait was totally worth it. Although Tom Holland and Zendaya have attended their fair share of events together through the years, this December premiere of Spider-Man: No Way Home was their first as an official couple. 'That was their big thing as a couple,' their stylist Law Roach confirmed to Access Hollywood. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's red carpet debut at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party was a blend of elegent and low-key: Stefani wore a sheer floral gown while Shelton kept it casual with jeans and a black blazer. Rita Ora and Taika Waititi finally confirmed their relationship as they perfectly matched during the premiere of The Suicide Squad in 2021. Though they might be on the rocks right now, there's one thing Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly could always do: command a red carpet. Their debut was at the 2020 American Music Awards. Just when the world expected Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian to make their red carpet debut together at the 2022 Met Gala, the former couple surprised everyone by walking the carpet together two days earlier at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner.

At the 2018 premiere of Avengers: Infinity War, Scarlett Johansson and her then-boyfriend Colin Jost made their red carpet debut looking ultra-cute together. Ever since their red carpet debut at the 2008 Grammy Awards, we've loved to keep up with John Legend and Chrissy Teigen over the years. Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck made their debut more than two decades ago at the 2002 premiere of Maid In Manhattan. Over a year after Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tied the knot, the two finally graced the carpet together at the 2014 Met Gala. Harrison Ford and then-girlfriend Calista Flockhart were all smiles during their red carpet debut at the 2002 premiere of K-19: The Widowmaker.

Library of Congress Defends National Recording Registry After Bill Maher's ‘New Rules' Jab

Generate Key Takeaways Bill Maher questioned why the Library of Congress needs to enshrine songs by Celine Dion and Elton John in the National Recording Registry. - Credit:; Phil Dent/Redferns Last week, the Library of Congress unveiled the 2025 additions to its National Recording Registry, which aims to collect recordings deemed 'culturally, historically or aesthetically important.' If you were Elton John, Steve Miller, Celine Dion, or the estate of the late Helen Reddy, you were probably thrilled. But one man, apparently, was not. On last Friday's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, the comedian and commentator made headlines with his much-awaited — and now much parsed, praised, or pummeled — recap of his and pal Kid Rock's visit to the White House to meet with Donald Trump. The segment received its share of blowback, head-scratching, and cheerleading. But in his 'New Rules' segment at the end of the show, Maher took a harder shot at the Library of Congress than he did at Trump during his segment on the trip. More from Rolling Stone 'Now that the Library of Congress has added to its registry of historical recordings 'My Heart Will Go On,' Fly Like an Eagle, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and 'I Am Woman' … really?' he cracked, citing some of the albums or singles included. 'This is the government's job? Making sure that future generations will be able to hear Elton John sing about 'hunting the horny back toad'? Besides I don't think these songs are in any danger of disappearing. I always hear them while I'm buying my $12 eggs at Ralph's.' The segment got a laugh, but according to a source, the staff of the Library of Congress was surprised, to say the least. (Maher's music tastes do tend toward the boomer-ish, after all.) In a statement to Rolling Stone, the department simply reiterated its mission. 'The National Recording Registry is valuable in preserving and spotlighting recorded sound that has impacted our nation both historically and culturally,' it reads. 'Aside from celebrating popular tunes, it also draws attention to forgotten recordings that date back more than a century ago including beloved Hawaiian song 'Aloha 'Oe,' the first network broadcast from the Grand Ole Opry, Booker T. Washington's 1908 speech, 1888-1889 Thomas Edison recordings and much more. The Library of Congress is proud and honored to select 25 audio treasures worthy of preservation every year because it upholds our collective history and our wide-ranging culture.' The first Registry, released in 2002, cited recordings by Bob Dylan, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and Bing Crosby; last year's lineup included tracks or albums by Green Day, Perry Como, the Notorious B.I.G., Bill Withers, Johnny Mathis, Benny Goodman, and the Chicks. In addition to the recordings Maher cited, the 2025 inductees include Davis' Bitches Brew, the Hamilton cast album, Amy Winehouse's Back to Black, Tracy Chapman's debut, Mary J. Blige's My Life, pianist Keith Jarrett's The Kӧln Concert, Don Rickles' comedy album Hello Dummy!, Chicago's debut (Chicago Transit Authority), the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans cowboy anthem 'Happy Trails,' Daniel Rosenfeld's soundtrack for the Minecraft game, and (no joke) the Microsoft Windows reboot chime. (Hey, it is an historic sound, although Apple's reboot could qualify too.) We get that some of these recordings are already classics and don't necessarily need a government seal of approval, but here's hoping the DOGE bros don't start nosing around the Registry's lists.

Terrence Howard Rejected Marvin Gaye Biopic Because He Didn't Want to Kiss a Man
Terrence Howard admitted that he passed on playing Marvin Gaye because if he had to kiss a male costar he would 'cut my lips off.' During a recent appearance on the Club Random podcast, Howard told host Bill Maher about the 'biggest mistake' he ever made in his career. The actor recounted how he was invited to dinner by Smokey Robinson because 'he wanted me to play his life' in a movie. Unfortunately Howard had to turn Robinson down because he was in a conversation with Lee Daniels about playing Marvin Gaye in another biopic. More from Rolling Stone Bruce Springsteen Jams With John Fogerty, Tom Morello, Smokey Robinson at American Music Honors Bill Maher Slams Larry David's Satirical Hitler Essay: Insults 'Six Million Dead Jews' Library of Congress Defends National Recording Registry After Bill Maher's 'New Rules' Jab Maher responded, 'You would've been perfect as Marvin Gaye, and that is a story that needs to be told.' However, Howard confirmed he ended up in neither project. He ended up turning down the role of Gaye once he learned how the singer's sexuality would be explored in the film. 'I was over at Quincy Jones' house and I'm asking Quincy, 'I'm hearing rumors that Marvin was gay' and I'm like, 'Was he gay?,'' Howard recalled. 'And Quincy's like, 'Yes.'' Ultimately, Howard decided he 'could not' play the singer. 'They would've wanted to do that, and I wouldn't have been able to do that,' Howard told Maher of portraying a gay relationship. He explained that he couldn't kiss a man onscreen because 'I don't fake it.' He continued, 'That would fuck me. I would cut my lips off. If I kissed some man, I would cut my lips off.' Howard explained that 'it does not make me homophobic to not want to kiss a man.' He added that it's about being able to represent something accurately onscreen. 'I can't play that character 100 percent,' Howard said. 'I can't surrender myself to a place that I don't understand.' Howard most recently appeared in Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist, a Peacock miniseries that aired last year. He is best known for portraying Lucious Lyon on Empire, which was co-created by Daniels, and for his Oscar-nominated role in Hustle & Flow. The actor shared similar sentiments on the PBD Podcast, saying he had turned down gay roles because he didn't want to lose his 'man card.' 'I've lost businesses because I don't bend over in that way,' he said. 'I don't compromise. I don't play gay roles. I don't kiss a man. I don't do that shit because the man card means everything.'

Trump Agrees to Meet With Bill Maher as a Favor to Kid Rock
President Donald Trump said he has agreed to meet with perennial critic Bill Maher as a favor to their shared friend, Kid Rock. 'I got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, Trump,' he wrote on Truth Social on Sunday. 'I really didn't like the idea much, and don't like it much now, but thought it would be interesting,' Trump continued. 'The problem is, no matter how much he likes your Favorite President, Me, he will publicly proclaim what a terrible guy I am, etc., very much like the Democrats at my recent Address to the Joint Session of Congress, where I stated, correctly, that no matter what I said or did, they wouldn't stand, they wouldn't applaud, they wouldn't smile or laugh and, certainly, they wouldn't be in any way 'nice.'' 'Who knows, though, maybe I'll be proven wrong? In any event, I'm doing a favor for a friend. I look forward to meeting with Bill Maher, Kid Rock and, I believe, even the legendary Dana White will be present,' the president concluded his message. 'It might be fun or, it might not, but you will be the first to know!' The update comes after Maher laid into Republicans during his 'New Rules' segment on Friday's 'Real Time.' On his HBO show, the host said he refuses to join the Right because he doesn't want 'to live in North Korea.' 'Republicans dance like Trump now. They may name weapons systems after him. They've even dressed like him with the trademark suit and tie, available exclusively at Banana Republic,' he noted. 'All these super macho guys eating the ass of another man.' Maher also acknowledged Trump's speech from earlier this month in the episode, pointing out that the president incorrectly stated that the country spent $8 million on making mice transgender. 'Here's the important thing about this: the fact that President Trump got this wrong isn't what bothers me… What's worrisome about it is that nobody around the president would dare tell him that transgenic is not transgender,' he explained. 'It makes you think that if Trump came down one day and his fly was open, Republicans wouldn't tell him. They'd just start showing up with their flies open.' The comedian also touched upon another of Trump's latest talking points on Friday: his unconstitutional belief he could achieve a third term as president since, as he put it on Sunday, 'there are methods.' 'At the end of Trump's first term, there were still some people who would occasionally correct him on little details, like, 'You lost that last election.' But now we have Lauren Boebert saying we must rally behind President Trump to secure his third term, something Steve Bannon is advocating for as well,' Maher said. 'You just know that soon the entire Republican Party will be on this page. OK? There's no fuzz on this. It's as clear as 123 — presidents get two terms, not more, no matter how wonderful you think they are. It's written in black and white in the Constitution. Guys, you know this is wrong. You know in your heart this is the moment when Rome stops being a republic. So come on, be like those mice and grow a pair of balls.' Indeed, Trump told 'Meet the Press' earlier on Sunday that while it's too soon to think about (hypothetical) re-election since he's focused on his current second administration, 'A lot of people want me to do it.' 'I'm not joking,' he insisted. 'But I'm not — it is far too early to think about it.'The post Trump Agrees to Meet With Bill Maher as a Favor to Kid Rock appeared first on TheWrap.

Bill Maher Says He'll Never Be a Republican ‘Because I Don't Want to Live in North Korea'
Bill Maher laid into Republicans during his 'New Rules' segment on Friday's 'Real Time,' which he started by explaining to people who ask why, if he roasts 'the woke nonsense peddlers, why don't you go all the way and join' the right wing. 'Let me give you the short answer,' Maher said. 'Because I don't want to live in North Korea.' Maher then noted the incredible propaganda deployed for North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, who 'has state stenographers who follow him everywhere and scribble his genius ideas into their notebooks and applaud. Well, Republicans, that's you now. Republican Congressman Anderson McDowell wants to name Dulles airport after Trump. It will be like other airports, except the International Terminal only has departures.' Maher then mentioned a recent Republican tribute to Trump, the proposed bill to add him to Mount Rushmore, and then he discussed Trump's takeover of the Kennedy Center 'The Kennedy Center is not something I really care a lot about. But I do care that an American president doesn't see anything wrong with him personally taking it over, or that his communications director Stephen Chung said it was justified because Trump, quote, 'is a virtuoso and his musical choices represent a brilliant palette of vibrant colors when others often paint in pale pastels.' Jesus, Stephen, don't get any in your hair.' And yes, a Trump official really did say that. Read more here. Then Maher noted how 'Republicans dance like Trump now. They may name weapons systems after him. They've even dressed like him with the trademark suit and tie, available exclusive, available exclusively at Banana Republic,' adding, 'all these super macho guys eating the ass of another man.' Maher ran through some other recent examples of incredible sycophancy by Trump officials, and said that while 'Tthere is a level of Trump derangement syndrome on the left, will you admit that this s— is also deranged?' 'A Trump speech this month to a joint session of Congress, he claimed the government had spent $8 million making mice transgender. It did not. The $8 million was for transgenic mice, mice that were being genetically modified to study how hormone treatments affect human health,' Maher continued. 'We were splicing their genes, not making them compete in women's sports.' 'Here's the important thing about this, the fact that President Trump got this wrong isn't what bothers me… What's worrisome about it is that nobody around the President would dare tell him that transgenic is not transgender. It makes you think that if Trump came down one day and his fly was open, Republicans wouldn't tell him. They'd just start showing up with their flies open,' he continued. 'So, so I know my Republican friends, when you hear 'cult,' you roll your eyes. But let me add one thing to it that you might not have heard. You know, a cult is really a cult when the leader asks you to turn on friends and family because they're the only ones who are a threat to deprogram you, it's why Tom Cruise doesn't talk to his own kid. Which brings me to America, suddenly saying to our closest friend in the world, you know what? 'F— Canada,' for no particular reason,' Maher said. 'I don't know for sure where Jesse waters of Fox News stood on invading Canada 12 weeks ago, but I'm guessing it wasn't on his mind at all,' Maher went on. 'But now his message for Canada is the fact that they don't want us to make take them over… But Canada isn't threatening us. For God's sakes their flag is a leaf. Even Joe Rogan, a Trump voter, said, 'Why are we upset at Canada? This is stupid.'' 'Okay, Maga, people, that's called thinking for yourself. At the end of Trump's first term, there were still some people who would occasionally correct him on little details, like, you lost that last election. But now we have Lauren Boebert saying we must rally behind President Trump to secure his third term, something Steve Bannon is advocating for as well,' Maher added, nodding of course to the fact that the only way Trump could legally serve a third term would be to change the constitution. 'And you know, you just know that soon, the entire Republican Party will be on this page. Okay, there's no fuzz on this. It's as clear as 123, presidents get two terms, not more, no matter how wonderful you think they are. It's written in black and white in the Constitution. Guys, you know this is wrong. You know in your heart, this is the moment when Rome stops being a republic. So come on, be like those mice and grow a pair of balls,' Maher urged.
