Julia Fox and Kanye West started dating at the beginning of 2022, and now they have walked their first red carpet together and taken their relationship international. 

They started the year off with dates in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles. On Jan. 23, Fox and West made their international debut at Paris Fashion Week. The couple wore matching denim outfits to the Kenzo Fall/Winter 2022/2023 fashion show in Paris, France.

Fox bared her midriff in a cropped denim jacket with a cone bra shape, paired with low-rise jeans, black gloves, and gold jewelry. She wore her hair slicked back in a bun and dramatic, smokey winged eyeliner. 

West matched Fox in a denim jacket and jeans, as well as black gloves, boots, and sunglasses.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake rocked matching denim looks like Kanye West and Julia Fox in 2001

Back when they were a couple, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears famously wore matching denim outfits to the 2001 American Music Awards. 

The “Toxic” singer wore a strapless patchwork denim dress paired with ornate diamond and silver jewelry, while Timberlake dressed in a denim blazer and hat with jeans and jewelry to match Spears. 

In 2020, Timberlake opened up to his former NSYNC bandmate Lance Bass on “The Daily Popcast.” The “Filthy” singer revealed he might wear the outfit again today. 

“I don’t know man, you could kinda rock that today,” he said to Bass (via Insider). “Look, man, you do a lot of things when you’re young and in love, man. That’s what you do.”
