What the outfits of today's hottest couples say about their relationship
It's hard enough dressing for one, but when you're a duo in the Hollywood spotlight, your couple style reveals a lot about how you get along on and off the red carpet. Here's how four of the hottest A-list pairs rate, and what their ensembles expose.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony
She's more covered up than we're used to seeing her, which proves that she has stopped craving the shock factor for which she was once famous. Jennifer seems secure in her marriage and she's showing him respect by not trying to steal the show. His white shirt and white tie ensemble adds a touch of glamour, while the sleek lines of his tux match her elegant, yet traditional vibe. Her olive gown is still a slightly daring color choice, but her jewelry and overall look is not expressive enough for who she is.

The Nest Verdict: We're not looking for Jenny from the Block, but we miss the fashion risks she used to take. And we have to wonder, why a subdued JLo? Has she grown into a mature married -- or is her DH [Darling Husband] asking her to put her personal style on mute?
Real Couple Advice: Even as you grow older and more comfortable in your relationship, don't lose that edginess you had when you first met. Or you'll risk losing yourself.

Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe
Although Reese is dressing way too old for her 29 years, her classic style and muted color choice support the couple's modest partnership. She might be an Oscar winner and rake in $29 million for one picture, but her understated vintage frock complements Ryan's sharp, yet standard tux and lets her audience know that he is an equal player in their marriage. Unfortunately, they make their marriage look a little boring.

The Nest Verdict: As wonderful as equality is, we would have loved to see them both in more youthful and glamorous garb. She could have worn something just as elegant, but with more color and sex appeal. They might have two kids, but there was no need for her to look so matronly.
Real Couple Advice: While a vintage look might sound hip, just make sure it doesn't make you look like you're from decades past. Consider wearing vintage jewels with a more modern look.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith
This pair used to live by the mantra "the couple who dresses together stays together," but that all changed on Oscar night. Normally, Will would have donned a splash of Jada's royal blue gown, like a matching necktie, pocket square, or pin. But his pinstripe tux was missing that touch of complementary uniqueness the Smiths always have. Perhaps, they've grown so comfortable in their marriage that they realize they no longer need matching ensembles to confirm their power couple status.

The Nest Verdict: They looked wonderful, but we fear they've lost the bold, fun attitude they had toward fashion. While we have to wonder what caused them to be less unified, we applaud their more classic appearance.
Real Couple Advice: Just because you're known for one style doesn't mean you can't try another. In fact, toning down your look might create more attention than sticking to your standard flair.
