Today marks five years since Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel said I do, and the half decade that s passed since they tied the knot has brought new projects, new haircuts, a two-year-old son, Silas, and a slew of date nights—along with the his-and-hers looks that define them. While Timberlake s full beard, blue eyes, beanies, and playful nature have served as well-honed signatures throughout the past year, Biel often plays a glamorous all-American foil to her husband s low-key Southerner.
Back in January, an evening out found the actress shaking out a mane of mussed brunette waves, minimally made-up eyes framed by bangs and offset by a pale pink lip, a decidedly cool counterpoint to her husband s scruffy beard and black knit cap. Slick updos and edgings of onyx eyeliner characterized Biel s awards season approach, while Timberlake s fade haircuts and bow ties offered the ideal pairing to his wife s sophisticated sensibilities. At the Golden Globes, a dramatically deep part and glossy petal pink lips were paired with strategic showings of skin, while Biel s Oscars look relied on her statuesque silhouette, sun-kissed skin, and coral lips to telegraph of-the-moment elegance.
For casual outings, Biel s insouciant knots—bound at mid-level or in topknot territory—were worn both bordered by bangs or defined by wispy flyaways, though sunglasses are always a prerequisite. And the best aesthetic answer to her partner s freshly shorn buzz cut, worn for the premiere of his new movie, Wonderwall, in New York. In Biel s world, a scraped-back and slightly risen updo, the romance factor upped by metallic lids and rosebud-colored lips. Happy Anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Timberlake—may the coming year be filled with happiness, love, and good hair.
