They have been happily married since 2015. 

And Benedict Cumberbatch looked undeniably loved-up with his wife Sophie Hunter as they arrived to the Met Gala 2019 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on Monday.

The Sherlock actor, 42, made a style statement in an all-white suit and fedora, while his stunning wife, 41, was decked out in an opulent billowing lilac number. 

Benedict made for his most stylish display yet in his three-piece white suit which boasted a gold body chain and emerald green brooch. 

Completing the look with a slick fedora and stylish shoes, Benedict added to the look with a walking stick. 

Benedict sweetly held the hand of his wife Sophie, who stunned iun a bardot style floral lilac dress. 

The garment boasted an opulent train as she posed away on the red carpet with her other half. 

Sophie had her brunette locks styled in a glamorous bun and accessorised with a pair of sparkly earrings.  

Sophie and Benedict, who have been friends for 20 years, took their romance public in spring 2014, before tying the knot the following year on the Isle Of Wight.

The couple are proud parents to sons Christopher 'Kit' Carlton, three, and Hal Auden, two. 

This year, the exhibit and gala are dedicated to the idea of 'camp,' as defined by Susan Sontag's 1964 essay Notes on 'Camp.'

The Met Gala, formally known as the Costume Institute Benefit, is always chaired by a team of high-wattage celebrities, and this year is no exception.

The event is chaired by pop star and actress-of-the-moment Lady Gaga, tennis star Serena Williams, and singer Harry Styles, along with Gucci designer Alessandro Michele and, as always, Vogue editor Anna Wintour.
