A relationship calls for a couple of non-negotiables — adopting one another’s lingo, channeling each other’s quirks, and coordinating outfits are a few demonstrations of your love for each other (I mean — you can scream it from the rooftops if that’s how you roll). The point is that you will morph into one another at some point or the other (knowingly or unknowingly). A way to convey your loved-up status to everyone knowingly? Matching your hair.
Notice how celebrities have been doing this for decades? It’s almost like a rite of passage — it’s how you declare your love for each other to the world, and make your ties official. It’s how you mirror one another: cue matching manes. Ahead — a line-up of celebrities who are (or were) literal reflections of their lovers.
Every Celebrity Couple That Dyed Their Hair While Together
Kim & Pete
Kim and Pete are a modern-day Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow — with the socialite dyeing her hair platinum-blonde at the beginning of May, and Davidson following her lead by the end of the month. The couple debuted their ‘dos on Kim’s Instagram stories (in all of their cuddled-up glory) — and while Pete has dedicated a couple of his tattoos to Kim, their matching hair-dos reign supreme. Regardless of what everyone has to say about this couple — we’re loving them together.
Megan & Machine Gun Kelly
Leave it to this couple to drink each other’s blood on the regular — but coordinating their hair? Sure — they’ve matched their outfits and nails on multiple occasions; but this is different. Megan and MGK coloured their hair bubblegum-pink in June ahead of the rapper’s red-carpet for his documentary titled Life In Pink. While Megan’s hair was coloured a lighter pink, MGK’s was a little darker — hotter. Talk about a Barbie-inspired moment.
Victoria & David
Victoria and David have shared a lot of matching-mane moments over the years; but the one that cemented their status as soulmates was when they sported similar pixies back in the day. The couple shows us that you can do anything when you do it together.
Ellen & Portia
While Portia’s tresses are longer now, she has coordinated her beach-blonde pixie with Ellen’s in the past. The couple has remained a favourite over the years, and we’re waiting for them to match their manes once more (ASAP).
Angelina & Brad
Brad has earned quite the reputation of matching his hair with his lady-loves. When #Brangelina was all everyone could talk about, the actor displayed a proclivity for longer, slicked-back caramel-brown hair — much like Angelina’s then hairstyle. They sashayed down the 84th Annual Academy Awards in all of their matching-mane glory, and cemented their look as unforgettable in the world of hair-twinning fanatics like myself.
Gwyneth & Brad
Remember how we were comparing Kim and Pete to Gwyneth and Brad? Yeah — the latter did pretty much what #Kete did. Just that it was a coincidence in their case, according to Paltrow (take it with a pinch of skepticism — even their parts are sweeping the other way). The two debuted matching beach-blonde side-swept pixies back when they were dating — something about pixies and couples, no?
Katy & Orlando
The 2021 CMAs witnessed Katy shed her icy-blonde tresses for a jet-black makeover — something Bloom was vying for as conveyed to us by a comment that read ‘Finally’ on her Instagram. The two, then, sported matching hairdos for the event — and oh, was it a sight to behold.
While some of these couples have parted ways since then, these moments are going to remain forever iconic.
