There's a lot to love about the Met Gala. On top of the eye-popping high-fashion looks and the event being the ultimate spot for a girls' night out among Hollywood's A-list, it's also the perfect place for celebrity couples to flaunt their relationships. While 2016's fete drew couples like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik, the Met Gala's red carpet looked way, way different 10 years ago. From Christina Ricci and Chris Evans (we totally forgot they even dated, to be honest) to longtime couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, join us on a nostalgic little trip down memory lane.

Christina Ricci and Chris Evans

No one knows for sure how long Christina Ricci and the Captain America star dated, but the pair looked happy while walking the red carpet arm in arm.

Two years before Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes tied the knot in France, the Evening costars hit the red carpet together.

Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts announced their separation in 2016, but their 2007 Met Gala appearance could not have been cuter.

Long before Paula Patton and Robin Thicke split, they were all smiles while celebrating "Poiret: King of Fashion."

Kirsten Dunst and then-boyfriend Johnny Borrell made quite the entrance. (Those cowboy boots? That headband?!)

As if you needed further proof that Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have always been cute . . .

Before Jennifer Lopez dove head-first into the naked-dress trend, she rocked this silver stunner with then-husband Marc Anthony.

At the Met Gala that year, Salma Hayek was just a few months away from welcoming her and husband Francois-Henri Pinault's first child, Valentina.

The ridiculously gorgeous couple wore contrasting shades of black and white for their bold appearance on the red carpet.

Harry Connick Jr. and Jill Goodacre, who've been married since 1994, struck a pose for photographers.

Remember when they were a thing?!

Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel, who announced their split after 10 years together in 2013, kept it classy in matching shades of black.

John Mayer and Jessica Simpson started dating in 2006, right after her high-profile divorce from ex-husband Nick Lachey became official. Luckily, they stepped out at the Met Gala long before the "Heartbreak Warfare" singer notoriously dished about their sex life to Playboy.

Although Emily Blunt and John Krasinski might be one of Hollywood's cutest couples nowadays, 2007 was a different story. She attended the high-fashion event with her boyfriend at the time, singer Michael Bublé.
