Taylor Swift walked down the aisle in one of the most anticipated wedding dresses of the decade. The Grammy-winning singer chose a bespoke Christian Dior Haute Couture gown as she married Travis Kelce in front of around 1,000 family members and famous friends at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday.
Both Taylor and Travis wore custom Dior creations designed by the French fashion house’s newly appointed creative director, Jonathan Anderson, making the bride’s gown his first couture wedding dress created for a major celebrity.
The historic commission comes just months after Anderson took the reins at Dior and cements his arrival as one of fashion’s most influential new creative forces.
Taylor completed her bridal look with custom Christian Louboutin shoes and elegant Cartier jewellery, while her sparkling engagement ring remained the standout accessory.
The custom old mine-cut diamond ring was designed by Artifex Fine Jewelry’s Kindred Lubeck in collaboration with Travis and has become one of the most talked-about celebrity engagement rings in recent years.

At the time, the accessories appeared to be a simple style statement, but they have now taken on new significance following confirmation that Dior created her wedding gown.
Earlier this week, reports suggested Anderson’s design had emerged as the winning choice after several luxury fashion houses competed for the opportunity to create one of the most closely watched bridal looks in recent memory.

New York was a fitting choice for the celebrations, with Taylor having called the city home since 2014.
After months of anticipation, the singer’s bridal look proved every bit as elegant as fans had hoped, while also marking a milestone moment in Jonathan Anderson’s Dior career.
