She wrote, “At first, honestly, I thought it was a joke. I didn’t think my stylist was going to do it, and I never thought Justin was going to do it with me. But they both went all in.”

“When he put it on, I thought, ‘Whoa! I guess we’re really doing this!’ With the matching denim, we blew it up,” she added.

They both got a lot of attention for the looks, and Justin responded on a podcast. “On one podcast where they were teasing him about it, he said, ‘You do a lot of things when you’re young and in love.’ And that’s exactly right. We were giddy, and those outfits reflected that.”

“I get that it was tacky — but it was also pretty great in its own way, and I’m also happy to see it parodied as a Halloween costume,” she said.
