Idris Elba‘s wife wants them to wear matching outfits on the red carpet.
Sabrina Elba thinks it is the “cutest thing ever” to see couples coordinate at events, but she admitted the Molly’s Game actor doesn’t share her enthusiasm.
“If we could match and wear matching colors, I’d actually love it. Idris, not so much. I love the idea of couple dressing and when couples do it, I just think it’s the cutest thing ever. Idris doesn’t love it,” she told People.
“When it’s all matching, matching and you look like twins, I’m like, ‘Oh man’,” Idris added.
Sabrina — who married the actor in 2019 — loves her husband’s “effortless” sense of style and believes he looks good no matter what he’s wearing.
“Idris for sure is effortless, timeless and sexy to me. He doesn’t even have to lift a finger. He just walks out the door, this confident sexy guy. He can be in a pair of flip-flops and sweats and I’m just like, ‘Wow, you’re going to make best-dressed lists.’ And he always does. He’s effortless,” she gushed.
Meanwhile, Idris loves Sabrina’s “elegant” look.
“I think Sabrina is fresh because she loves the newest and coolest. And she’s elegant no matter what she puts on. Whether it’s sweatpants or a ball gown, she looks elegant,” he said.
The couple stars together in a new Calvin Klein campaign for the new male and female Aromatic Essence scents from the Eternity portfolio — and the pair were thrilled to work together.
“There was a lot of expectation leading up to it. I think Sabrina and I were both, like, ‘Wait, wow.’ And I was, like, ‘Oh my God, I really have to look really handsome in this thing, and you’re just going to ace it, because you’re just beautiful,'” The “Luther” actor said.
“We did it in a way that just felt so natural, so easy and that showcases Black love in a way I think isn’t seen enough — I love the idea of that.” Sabrina added.
In the world of fashion, the struggle for sartorial synchronization continues. While Sabrina dreams of them stepping out as the dynamic duo of coordinated couture, Idris remains staunchly in his minimalist, non-matching corner. As they say, opposites attract!
