JAY-Z and Beyoncé are the reigning king and queen of, oh, everything. When they're not killing their respective music and entrepreneurial games or spending quality time with their three kids, daughter Blue Ivy and twins Rumi and Sir, they are making the entire world faint over their swoon-worthy sartorial slaying. Here are some of their best red carpet appearances and turns at major events over the course of their nearly two decades together.

Gold Standard

Beyoncé and JAY-Z didn't even have to walk the red carpet to cause a commotion at the 2020 Golden Globes. For Hollywood's big night, the "Formation" singer paired a black-and-gold V-cut gown with sheer black gloves and statement earrings, while the rapper stood by his wife's side in a velvet jacket, white dress shirt, black pants and a black bow tie.


Holiday Hotties

The couple didn't hit the red carpet for the opening of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta in October 2019, but they made a stunning entrance when they glamorously snuck in the back for a surprise appearance.


Roaring Good Time

JAY-Z and Beyonce made one of their happiest red carpet appearances together at the European premiere of The Lion King in July 2019. The woman who voices Nala looked like a true queen in a marigold lamé gown by Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri that featured a keyhole detail and hip-high slit. Her husband rocked one of his fave looks -- a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt and bow tie -- and could not stop beaming while standing by his lady's side. The London outing was the first time the pair had walked a red carpet together in over four years.
