Dates from a Different Era: 13 Awesome Yet Impossible Celeb Power Couples (PHOTOS)

After, “Who are you wearing?,” the most important question on the Oscars’ red carpet is “Who are you here with?”

Celebrity couples are always alluring. Drench them in tulle, tuxes and accolades, and they become nearly irresistible. But it’s a shame that today’s biggest stars can’t hob knob with the glamorous old guard of Tinseltown … or can they?

Thanks to the magic of Photoshop, it is possible to have love connections between celebrities of every era – and the results are what Hollywood dreams are made of.
