Long before the likes of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner or Zendaya and Tom Holland were turning heads on the red carpet, there was Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen in the ‘90s.
The pair first met in 1983, but it would be 10 more years before they’d cross paths again and start dating. The lovebirds went on to get married in 1995, tying the knot on Martha’s Vineyard on Oct. 7.
And while they always kept a low profile — a practice they continue today — when they stepped out for awards shows, galas and other high-profile events, Danson and Steenburgen made sure they did so in style.
As they celebrate their 31st wedding anniversary, see some of their most glamorous photos from the ‘90s below.
