Back in April last year, Pierce Brosnan and Keely Shaye Smith celebrated 31 glorious years together. Their relationship has been defined by coordinated sartorial moments that exude James Bond–level glamour. The couple made their red carpet debut in April 1995 and have continued to appear side by side at high-profile events ever since.
Keely's style set has often been marked by the elegant minimalism of the '90s. Today she often reaches for romantic silk dresses, usually in monochrome hues, styled with timeless leather jackets.
As a fashion writer, I'm taking a look back at the couple's most memorable red carpet moments together and how their individual style has evolved throughout their marriage.

Pierce and his wife attended the London premiere of Legends of the Fall in 1995. Keely was the ultimate Bond girl in a plunging black dress that featured a figure-hugging silhouette with spaghetti straps. The floor-length gown oozed '90s chic, with Keely embracing a minimalist aesthetic. She opted to leave her décolletage bare, instead accessorizing with a pair of delicate gold hoop earrings.
The floor-length number was teamed with a black handbag accented with a gold chainmail strap and a pair of simple black pumps. Keely's luscious brunette locks were swept back into an elegant updo while her makeup exuded soft glam courtesy of a bronze eye, a pinch of blush, and a rogue stained lip.
Meanwhile, the James Bond actor looked suave in a classic black tuxedo layered over a crisp white shirt.

The wife of the 007 actor almost eclipsed her famous husband in a sequinned, floor-length Monique Lhuillier gown which hugged her in all the right places. Keely added a sheer cape and some huge diamond rings and looked fabulous alongside her hubby who rocked a tailored Tom Ford suit and matching sunglasses.
