If the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala crowned a King and Queen each year, Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson definitely would have nabbed top honors (probably more than once). The couple has become a red carpet staple at the annual fashion fête, and seeing them is always a highlight for PeopleStyleWatch.com editors. (Note: If these two ever break up, we’re quitting life and retiring to our beds with unlimited Netflix and Cheetos.) Before the fashion-forward duo have what’s bound to be a repeat glam performance tonight, here’s a look back at their best moments from Met Gala’s past.

It all started in 2008, when Kruger skipped the floor-skimming gowns for a silver Alberta Ferretti cocktail dress featuring sequin embellishment on the shoulder. Jackson complemented his leading lady in a white tuxedo jacket and coordinating pants, also Alberta Ferretti. In 2009, the German actress went short once again in a white Chanel Couture mini with floral appliqués. And she didn’t walk the carpet with Karl Lagerfeld; instead, Jackson served as her her arm candy, looking dapper as ever in a classic tux. For their third straight Met Gala appearance, Kruger selected a simple, sleek white Calvin Klein gown, and Jackson ditched the bow tie for a scarf.

The couple’s most high-fashion moment came in 2011, when Kruger chose a nude embellished top and black skirt from one of her favorite designers, Jason Wu. Jackson selected a Dior Homme suit with white piping around the lapel. Then for last year’s party, the star selected a sheer, lace Chanel Couture dress and dip-dyed the end of her ponytail pink to match the Punk theme. Jackson didn’t rock any Billy Idol plaid, but he did mix it up pairing a red tie with his Dior Homme suit.
Sure Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and more stylish couples give us red carpet butterflies, but there is something just so freakin’ cute about Josh and Diane. Do you agree? Tell us: Are you excited to see the couple tonight? Any bets on what they’ll be wearing?
