The year was 1997. Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow had been dating for three years since meeting on the set of the cult classic "Seven." Paltrow and Pitt had recently gotten engaged in December 1996. When they stepped out on the red carpet at "The Devil's Own" premiere, it wasn't their threads that would go down in fashion history but their nearly identical haircuts.
The coordinated blonde pixies were courtesy of celebrity stylist Chris McMillan, who the pair attended separately, Paltrow said on Instagram while promoting Goop's new hair serum. She elaborated that they didn't intend to match each other on purpose that night but just happened to go to the same professional for a haircut. However, it's a little hard to believe that each of their styling teams wouldn't know what the other half of the decade's "it" couple was wearing to the premiere.
Looking back on their style choice, Paltrow seemed happily nostalgic, exclaiming, "Awww, matching haircuts!" when she was first handed the photo during her Goop promotional post. Even though their romance didn't stand the test of time, unlike reappearing '90s trends, Paltrow and Pitt remain close friends. In a 2022 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Paltrow detailed how she and Pitt rekindled their friendship almost 20 years ago after going their separate ways in June 1997. She praised Pitt, "I really love him. I'm a big fan," and detailed how Paltrow's current husband Brad Falchuk feels about her friendship with Pitt.
