You’ve got to hand it to whichever lawyers wrote the NDAs for guests of Taylor Swift’s wedding. It’s been five days since she took over Madison Square Garden and blocked off a sizable slice of midtown Manhattan for her July 3 nuptials, and no major details have yet emerged about the pop superstar’s dress. But we do know who designed it. Jonathan Anderson got the commission, a major score for a creative director who was brought to Dior a little over a year ago with the task of amping up the brand’s global profile. The newly wedded couple must have gotten a bundle deal: Travis Kelce opted for bespoke Christian Dior, too, and both stars wore custom Christian Louboutin shoes. In her wardrobe and her music, Swift tends to slot herself into a variety of classic feminine roles: the fairy-tale princess, the high school lover girl, America’s sweetheart. Before her wedding, fashion writers predicted a slew of designers whose wedding gowns might fit those archetypes. Ralph Lauren, one of whose dresses Swift wore for her enchanted-garden engagement shoot, would have been a solid choice for a “Miss Americana” getting hitched on Independence Day weekend. Vivienne Westwood, she of the Swift-approved corset-and-draped-skirt combo, would have made a garment worthy of the dewy-eyed romance and grandiosity Swift brings to her love songs.
