A major benefit of attending red-carpet events with your spouse: they’re right there to stop wardrobe mishaps before anything embarrassing happens.

Longtime celebrity couple John Legend and Chrissy Teigen made a stylish entrance at the May 25 American Music Awards, though Teigen’s dress suffered a minor incident on the red carpet.

The Grammy-winning “All of Me” singer wore a khaki Dries Van Noten suit to the awards, while Teigen, 40, picked a beaded, strapless orange gown from Raisa Vanessa for the occasion.

As Legend, 43, posed for photos outside the event, he turned his attention to his wife of nearly 13 years, whose floor-length dress caught on the heel of her shoe as she shuffled over to him.

The bottom of her outfit dragged on the carpet as she walked, snagging on her foot as she clung to Legend to keep from toppling over.

Reacting quickly, Legend bent down to help untangle his wife’s dress in front of photographers and red-carpet onlookers. The couple laughed off the moment and, with assistance, managed to fix the dress, leaving just a few beads as victims of the garment glitch.

Later, Legend presented the International Artist Award of Excellence to Colombian singer Karol G.

Legend, a highly celebrated musical artist whose work has been recognized at the Academy Awards, Tony Awards, and Grammy Awards, often cites Teigen as a positive influence on his life and career.

During an episode of the IRL podcast in 2025, Legend reflected on his 20-year relationship with the former Victoria’s Secret model. The couple met in 2006 while shooting his video for “Stereo,” and were married in 2013.

“I think you have to be fortunate enough to fall in love and marry someone that you really are like supposed to be with, Legend told host Angie Martinez. ”So, choose well."

He continued, ”And I feel like we really chose well. We have great chemistry, and it’s not just physical. It started out as physical, but we really vibe well together. We respect each other, love each other, support each other, and have each other’s back, and we like hanging out with each other.”

Teigen and Legend have four children, including Luna Simone Stephens, 10; Miles Theodore Stephens, 8; Esti Maxine Stephens, 3; and Wren Alexander Stephens, 2. (Stephens is the singer’s legal surname, while Legend is his stage name.)
