Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s reported wedding day is finally upon us, and all Swifties want to know is who the bride will be wearing.
Taylor and Travis are expected to tie the knot at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 3, and while the couple has kept details of their big day quiet, it hasn’t stopped fans from speculating.
One big question on everyone’s lips is which famed designer has been bestowed the honor of designing Taylor’s wedding dress.
Selena Gomez may have answered the question as she wore a dress by one of Taylor’s favorite designers to the rehearsal dinner at MSG on July 2.
Selena looked gorgeous in a black strapless dress with a thigh-high slit by Oscar de la Renta, a fashion house Taylor has a long-standing relationship.
Oscar de la Renta has been behind several of Taylor’s memorable looks, including the blue floral cut-out gown she wore to the premiere of The Eras Tour concert film, the sequin bodysuit she wore during the Eras Tour, and most recently the yellow sequined gown she donned for her “I Knew It, I Knew You” performance at the Toy Story 5 premiere.

While Oscar de la Renta is a formidable contender, and perhaps the designer of the weekend, judging by reported bridesmaid Selena’s attire, Taylor may decide to go in a different direction, or feature several different designer dresses over the course of the celebrations.

She said: “Am I the only one who wants a full Love Story moment from Taylor? Thinking a gown fit for a Renaissance fair and a seriously 00s up-do. I’d love her to pay homage to her greatest song ever in a vintage dress (wouldn’t Dior be absolutely sensational), plus lashings of gold jewelry. And if she struts down that aisle without her signature red lip, I will eat my hat.”

“Taylor has long been a Vivienne Westwood girl, so I think Andreas Kronthaler has conjured up an exquisite custom number. She wore a bridal-inspired gown during the Eras Tour and it fitted her perfectly,” she said.

“The singer also loves a poetic, cryptic reference which is often showcased in her writing, so I expect the chosen gown will be intricately embroidered with subtle nods to her relationship with Travis.”
