His outfit is elevated by a crisp white shirt and a red tie that adds a pop of colour and complements his wife's ensemble.
Barbie, for her part, went for a structured white dress, cinched at the waist with a matching red belt.
Her look is completed with a striking red fascinator and sophisticated red heels, which perfectly tie her look into his.
She says she was dressed by Dyna Vence Ruvuza while her makeup was by Mona Face Studio.
