"Both of you look stunning" vs "Both of you are looking stunning"

"Both of you are looking stunning" and "both of you look stunning" are compliments about physical appearance.
Tip: In professional settings, both comments are almost always inappropriate.

Last Updated: March 20, 2019

Both of you look stunning

This is correct

The use of this sentence is limited to times when you are sure that it is appropriate to compliment people's physical appearance. (The sentence would be inappropriate in almost every professional situation.)

"Stunning" is a strong adjective, so native English speakers only use it sparingly.

"Stunning" is usually, but not always, used to compliment women instead of men.
