STILL they don't pose together! Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin arrive separately at the Met Ball, with actress sporting unflattering pink gown

They have nearly been married for ten years, but Gwyneth Paltrow and husband Chris Martin are rarely pictured together. 
And despite attending the same event, they went to extreme lengths to not be photographed together at Monday night's Met Ball in New York City.
Chris Martin appeared to skip the star studded red carpet at the fashion gala, leaving his Oscar-winning wife to stroll in alone.

From punk to pink: Gwyneth Paltrow arrived to the 2013 Met Ball on Monday night in New York City wearing a vintage Valentino gown that concealed her slim figure

However, he did agree to be photographed with Korean rapper Psy, who promptly posted the snapshot to his Twitter page.
'Making new friends at #Metgala,' he wrote on the social networking site.
However, Gwyneth and Chris were still pictured separately, taking their turns to be snapped with the Gangnam Style star.

Princess moment: Instead of the slim, revealing gowns she usually chooses, the 40-year-old opted for a fairytale ballgown that overlooked the evening's theme

Gwyneth covered up a little more than her last appearance on the red carpet, sporting a Valentino bubblegum pink dress with sheer panelling across the front and sleeves
Her hair was pulled into a sleek ponytail and she wore subtle make-up and minimal accessories.
Her rock star husband, meanwhile, looked dapper in a suit and tie.

The annual gala highlights the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s spring exhibition: PUNK: Chaos to Couture in New York.
The event attracted a slew of stars including Sarah Jessica Parker, Katy Perry, Beyoncé and Anne Hathaway.
The 40-year-old actress recently revealed that the couple's marriage, which has produced two children, has been through 'terrible times.'
She told Glamour UK magazine: 'It’s hard being married. You go through great times; you go through terrible times. We’re the same as any couple.
'I asked my dad once, "How did you and Mom stay married for 33 years?"' she added. 'And he said, "Well, we never wanted to get divorced at the same time."
'I think that’s what happens. When two people throw in the towel at the same time, then you break up, but if one person’s saying, "Come on, we can do this," you carry on.”
Gwyneth's appearance on Monday was a little more conservative than her famous Iron Man 3 dress, where she sported an Antonio Berardi design putting her sides, hips and derrière on full display thanks to sheer panelling.
The actress revealed that she only just averted disaster with the gown which left very little to the imagination.
'Well, let's just say everyone went scrambling for a razor,' she told Ellen DeGeneres during an appearance on her talk show. 'So I went from being the most beautiful to the most humiliated. In one day...I work a 70s vibe. You know what I mean?'

What's white and black and sheer all over? The A-lister shocked audiences when she attended the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man 3 in a dress that revealed her naked hips and legs
