What makes a power couple? In layman’s terms—and by the order of the Cambridge Dictionary—a power couple is made up of two people, often from the worlds of politics or entertainment, who are extremely successful in their respective careers. Ideally, the pair also publicly lift each other up—whether that means cheering from the finish line at the Olympics, leading the theater’s standing ovation, or walking the red carpet with their glamorous, award-winning other half.

Power couples have existed across centuries and industries, from kings and queens of the silver screen to sports stars linking up with pop stars and socialites coupling up with politicians. And everyone has their own favorite power couple, when you really think about it. Are you shipping Taylor and Travis? Yearning for a fiery love like Elizabeth and Richard’s? Dreaming of a Mick for your Bianca?
