Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris are all about coordinating couple style.
Ahead of the Olympics 2024 Opening ceremony, the One Tree Hill alum, 41, and the retired soccer pro, 38, attended the Prelude to the Olympics kickoff bash at Fondation Louis Vuitton on Thursday, July 25, in Paris, hosted by musician and Louis Vuitton’s Men Creative Director Pharrell Williams and Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour.
The couple abided by the celebration’s dress code and arrived in metallic ensembles. Bush’s look included an eye-catching, vivid vermilion metallic mini dress by Christian Siriano. The dress was skillfully constructed with a strapless corset that met at her waist’s full and voluminous bubble skirt. Her metallic look didn’t stop there, she wore a pair of strappy gold heels that complemented the design’s hue.
Bush’s glam also leaned into the theme with blush and eyeshadow that matched the shining colors of her dress — and her lipstick was a glossy red-orange that tied the whole sartorial moment together. She kept her new red hair down in textured waves.

Meanwhile, the former Olympic soccer star opted for a more traditional metallic color and arrived in a bronze pinstripe two-piece suit, also Christian Siriano. While the color was more common, the suit itself was modified, with a cropped blazer that included a deep V-neck. Her trousers were high-waisted and wide-leg fit that hid her shoes.
The two-time World Cup winner wore her blonde hair in her signature slicked-back look, which let her dark cat-eye makeup take center stage.

The couple were more recently seen at the celebration of Woolf Works at New York City’s American Ballet Theatre on June 26. At the event, the Chicago P.D. actress wore a long-sleeved V-neck top paired with a bright red midi skirt. She wore strappy red heels to complete her monochromatic moment.
Harris was seen in a beautiful blue double-breasted suit with rolled-up sleeves. She wore a white dress shirt underneath, and an elaborate silver brooch was pinned to her top. Harris accessorized with round sun shades and an assortment of necklaces.

The two started dating in the fall of 2023; and then in April 2024, Bush confirmed their relationship in a conversation with Glamour’s editor-in-chief, Samantha Barry. That same month they made their red carpet debut at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on April 27.
Both women went through divorces before exploring a romance with each other. Bush was married to entrepreneur Grant Hughes from 2022 to 2023, and Harris was married to fellow soccer player Ali Krieger from 2019 to 2023.
