Rihanna and Rocky, step aside. Bennifer was recently spotted in the Hamptons, rocking flawlessly coordinated outfits that have us feeling like it's the early '00s all over again.
The synchronized celebrity outfit feels like something of a dying art. Sure, it's still happening, just with a lot more subtlety: David and Victoria Beckham's "Matrix" look and Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears' infamous Canadian tuxedos are from a different age entirely. In a modern context, "twinning" can be difficult to execute, given the threat of appearing corny.
It's true that Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez often riffed off each others' wardrobes, but it was never quite as telegraphed as this. Keeping it casual, the alleged lovebirds looked cozy in beige — dare we say it's Yeezy-esque?
Why we're all so eager for this romantic rekindling remains unclear. It feels like there's an element of Y2K fetishism to it — a comforting reminder of simpler times. We all love a good comeback story, too, and celebrity redemption fodder doesn't get much sweeter than the once Sad Affleck meme winning back his wholesome Jenny from the block. Plus, everybody loves a cool power couple, especially now there's a KimYe shaped hole in the world.
