According to Vogue Italia, Jay Z and Beyonce are the iconic couple of pop. Beyoncé’s evolving style, her role in Dreamgirls and her numerous awards including 16 Grammy Awards, 23 Billboard Music Awards and 18 MTV Music Awards  are just some of the reasons why the editors consider her to be iconic while the Jay-Z (or King Midas  of the music industry, as the magazine likes to call him) was praised for being crowned Forbes cash king again, founding Roc-a-Fella records at 27 and going on to release an album every year since 1999.

And of course don’t forget he also signed Rihanna and transformed her into a global superstar! Or his Watch The Throne album with Kanye West which is getting rave reviews.

“Beyoncé and Jay-Z are an “aristocratic” couple,” the magazine says. “No scandals, very little gossip, low-key profile (that is, as low as the profile of a man with a penchant for gold chains can be…) buckets of happiness and any “dirty linen” – if there is any dirty linen at all – rigorously “never washed in public” but kept private. A rare example of extraordinary grace and composure even, and most of all, compared to those couples who are aristocratic by birth.”
