The mother of two children under 10, who is married to the French-Lebanese pianist and composer Rami Khalifé, estimates that 90 per cent of her wardrobe comes from op-shops, including her favourite Lifeline outlet (a charity she has an enduring connection with given both her parents are Lifeline volunteers), where she has picked up jackets from Christian Dior, Christian Lacroix and Roberto Cavalli, and a John Galliano dress. “The artist didn’t want to get into trouble for doing something that was so different from the norm,” says Sheedy, who describes Saab’s style as “a modern twist on old Hollywood glamour”.

And it will look totally stylish! Since this is quite a bold move, you can always consult the color wheel and see what colors are complementary. As long as you keep the colors pastel and of the same intensity, everyone can see that you’re a couple while still wearing different outfits and colors. Does this make any sense? Take for example the Pantone colors – if one of you chooses a suit in the Ultraviolet color, the other can go in light lavender or peach color.

The second option might be more popular as there are so many cute couples that simply have to dress in a matching outfit. Since you’re gay though, make sure that you know the Wedding Style 101 and dress accordingly – there are so many suit mistakes that you can make, and it won’t do to have some while your special someone is dressed perfectly, right?
