A selection of couples who will not be making it onto this list: Tina Burner and Graham Norton, Naomi Campbell and Liam Payne, Pete Davidson and Kate Beckinsale, Lembit Opik and The Cheeky Girls, Brad Pitt and Sinitta, Channing Tatum and Jessie J, Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy, Billie Piper and Chris Evans, Tom Cruise and Cher. Not all that glitters is gold, and people on Raya are still god awful. 

That being said, 2021 has proved tumultuous if you are particularly sensitive to hot people hooking up. After all, it was less love at first sight for Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, but a chance to open a portal into a celebscape of chaotic, libidinous hell. See Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, for example, who have spent the past few months finger-sucking each other on Instagram. Or Feeld’s very own Taika Waititi, Rita Ora, and Tessa Thompson, or Bennifer, or Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz, who are riding BMX bikes around New York, cosplaying as 90s heart-throbs in baggy skater jeans and Chuck Taylors. 

Hot people. They’re getting hot wired. Their aromatic pheromones – all leathery tobaccos and Tom Ford ouds, probably – spiralling out of control like a whirling dervish, as if they were Lily Allen sat outside the Chiltern Firehouse with a rotation of Marlboro Golds. And though we may be entering a new era of famous people fucking, being one half of a well dressed, genetically gifted couple has long been the paragon of prestige. How many times has the story of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony been rehashed on-screen? Dramatic sweeps of kohl matched only by the train of their Hollywood togas. Or Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn? The latter of whom both Bella Hadid, and Ugly Betty, have taken style cues from. 

From Goldie and Bjork, to Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee, to Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage, below, we dissect the allure of hot couples and their even hotter wardrobes.
