59 Times Beyoncé and JAY-Z Got All Dressed Up and Made It to the Club to Win Best Dressed

Beyoncé and JAY-Z need no introduction when it comes to their signature couple style. When you picture them, you probably immediately think of Beyoncé's colorful heels and wild prints on the streets of New York City up against JAY-Z's graphic hoodies, tees, and classic denim. Or you envision them on the red carpet, with Beyoncé in jaw-dropping, custom creations from the likes of Givenchy, Elie Saab, and Versace, and JAY in his bow-tie, letting Beyoncé shine up against his black-and-white palette.

Throughout the years, Beyoncé has worked closely with stylist and entrepreneur Zerina Akers, crafting her wardrobe to reflect a person who is thoughtful about clothing and the brands she supports, from courtside basketball game appearances to music videos that tell a story. And JAY-Z is almost always right by her side, finishing that thought with his own getup.

Though most of Beyoncé and JAY-Z's outfits are incredibly luxe, they look effortless when they're together and complement one another in such a relaxed way. Even when they're onstage, soaking up the limelight and performing their greatest hits, the costume mastery is undeniable. Sometimes all it takes is a flashy, oversize pendant on JAY-Z to accent Beyoncé's meticulously crafted, metallic bodysuit. One thing is for sure: no one does couple style like Beyoncé and JAY-Z. Ahead, find 59 photos that are pure proof.
