The style evolution of Eddie Redmayne and his wife Hannah Bagshawe: From ... trends now

Eddie Redmayne, 42, and his wife, Hannah Bagshawe, 41, stood out from the crowd at the 2024 Met Gala on Monday as they pushed the boundaries on the red carpet. 

The Fantastic Beasts actor took to the red carpet in a black blazer dress with a white net skirt, featuring sheer cut out panels and a wavy ink blot pattern - an androgynous look that matched Hannah's strapless gown with the same pattern.

Since partnering with stylist Harry Lambert, Eddie has entered a new era, and has caught the eye of Anna Wintour and made the exclusive guestlist to the biggest night in fashion. 

Despite garnering attention for their high-end sense of style, the couple have not always been so adventurous - at the beginning of their relationship they often stuck to the likes of humble suits, crew neck knits, and simple dresses. 

Here, MailOnline looks at the evolution of the couple's fashion journey, as they ditched the basics and became best dressed....

Speaking of Eddie's style evolution, his stylist Harry, who boasts clients such as Harry Styles and Emma Corrin told Vogue last year after working with him for six months: 'I’ve always admired Eddie’s fashion sense, and his sense of flair and fun… on the red carpet. When he asked to collaborate, I was super excited to start working with him.' 

Eddie hadn't worked with a stylist before but had seen Harry's work with other stars and decided to switch up his style. 

Harry said: 'He wanted to evolve his fashion, take some risks, and have fun,” says Lambert. “To try some things that he hadn’t tried before.'

The once tailored suits were switched up, with the duo deciding to subvert menswear classic to create a more modern twist.

Eddie's wife Hannah has seemingly had a fashion glow-up to complement her husband's new reputation as a fashion guru. 

Eddie and Hannah, who is a financial PR, met in 2000 at a charity fashion show while attending Eton College. They soon struck up a friendship and later started dating in January 2012. 

Hannah and Eddie were friends for 12 years before things turned romantic in 2012 and the actor invited her on a holiday to Florence during a filming break from Les Miserables. 

They are now married and are the proud parents of eight-year-old daughter Iris, eight, and six-year old son Luke. 

In 2015, the star told the Daily Mail: 'I saw Hannah across the room at a party and she was very beautiful and very funny and she loves the arts and theatre just as I do, so we became friends.

'I’d finished rehearsals and was about to start shooting in a few days and so I said to myself, “I’m going to go to Florence for a quick break and write or do something like that.” 

'Before I went, Hannah and I were on a sort of date — we’d been good friends for 12 years — and we had a wonderful evening and I suddenly said, “You don’t want to come to Florence with me next week, do you?” She said, “That’s absurd, you don’t mean it.” I said, “Yes I do!” So our first proper date was in Florence.'

As their romance blossomed, they made their first few appearances together at various events that same year.

Pictured at the 10th anniversary performance of King Lear at the Almeida Theatre, London, Eddie sported a simple trouser and blazer combo, with a light blue crew neck sweatshirt underneath.

Meanwhile, Hannah opted for a modest black dress with a red stripe, complete with a red blazer and tights - a far cry from the couple's outlandish fashion statements of today.
