Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged. As fans celebrate the news, thoughts have quickly turned to what the bride-to-be might wear for her wedding.
“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married,” the couple declared via a joint Instagram post, alongside images of the proposal.
In these images, Swift wore a striped Ralph Lauren dress - that reportedly sold out online in minutes after the engagement news broke – raising the fashion stakes for what will undoubtedly be the wedding of the year. To propose, Kelce chose an old mine brilliant cut diamond ring designed by New York jewellery designer Kindred Lubeck.
Although we will have to wait for details of the couple's big day, we can speculate about possible designers who could design Swift's dress. Here are some of the designers, regional and otherwise, that we think could be in the running.
Lebanese designers
Elie Saab
Elie Saab has a history of being a go-to for the singer. The Lebanese designer has a solid reputation for dressing big-name stars for the red carpet and brides around the world. Notably, he has also dressed the brides of two of his sons for their high-profile wedding days.
Swift relied on the Lebanese couturier to create several looks for her Eras Tour dates. To play in Tampa, for example, she wore a romantic nude look, with a crystal-strewn bodice and fabric flowers scattered across the skirt.
Looking at Saab's autumn 2025 bridal line, there is a similar gown in the collection. Described as a strapless ballgown, the look is fully embroidered, with a "delicate vine of flowers and dimensional organza leaves that bring sculptural depth to the silhouette". It is completed with an embroidered tulle veil.
Reem Acra
Lebanese-American designer Reem Acra is another of Swift's firm favourites. The designer created several of the dresses she wore during the Speak Now set of her Eras Tour, as well as the lilac tulle look seen on the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album cover.
The singer also wore a Reem Acra bridesmaid dress to her friend's wedding in 2016.
In the Bows and Roses bridal collection by the New York designer, there is a similar look, with a tulle skirt, a defined waist and a discreet scattering of floral embroidery around the hips. The dress is finished with lace-capped sleeves.
Reem Acra is headquartered in New York, which could make the label an attractive and handy option for the singer.
Azzi & Osta
Another Lebanese brand that Swift has been loyal to in the past is Azzi & Osta. The label dressed the singer in a form-fitting gold and silver couture look for the music video for Karma, released in May 2023.
With a drape detail at the neckline and a large side split, it was a dramatic, yet ethereal look.
In their bridal collection, the designer duo have several form-fitting looks in a similar vein, including one look from 2023 with a strapless, sculpted bodice and dress, cut away to reveal a lace panel underneath.
Zuhair Murad
Zuhair Murad is another name clearly held in high regard, with Swift wearing several designs by him through the years.
She wore a fitted, embellished Zuhair Murad look to the 2012 Grammy Awards, while as part of her Eras Tour, she wore a blue fringed bodysuit as one of the Midnights era looks during the European leg of the tour.
In the romantic gown realm, she also turned to the Lebanese designer to create a Speak Now dress, complete with a full skirt and intricate starburst sequins.
As part of his autumn 2025 bridal collection, Murad has a look featuring the same starburst beadwork. A more fitted design, with a full overskirt, the gown features a bodice, skirt and overskirt, all of which are covered in starburst silver and white beading.
International designers
Schiaparelli
Swift will also have the choice of many international designers.
Known for dressing for each of her eras, which correspond with her album releases, her most recent release, The Tortured Poets Department, brought with it a wardrobe of dramatic white gowns, on and off the stage.
For the 2024 Grammy Awards, she wore an off-white Schiaparelli haute couture gown, which was custom-made with a draped bustier and finished with long black opera gloves.
Vivienne Westwood
To add the The Tortured Poets Department set to her Eras tour, Swift turned to Vivienne Westwood to create several custom looks. She debuted the designs in Paris in May last year, with a gown featuring a tight, corseted bodice and draped skirts inscribed with the lyrics, "I love you, it’s ruining my life" from the single, Fortnight. The look was finished with a three-row orb detail choker in black agate.
In the past year, she has worn a number of corseted Vivienne Westwood outfits for public appearances. Notable looks include a red sequinned mini for the 2025 Grammy Awards in February and several pieces to attend Kansas City Chiefs American football games to cheer on Kelce.
Oscar de la Renta
Another strong contender is American brand Oscar de la Renta, which has dressed the singer several times. As well as creating short, beaded tour looks, Oscar de la Renta designed the quilted, applique cornflower blue gown Swift wore for the premiere of her concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. The dress is very similar to several bridal looks by the same label.
If Swift does choose to get married in Oscar de la Renta, she is in good company, as this same name was chosen by human rights lawyer Amal Clooney when she married actor George Clooney in 2014.
Ralph Lauren
Swift has become synonymous with the image of the "all American" girl, so it would stand to reason that she could choose Ralph Lauren, a truly all-American brand, to design her wedding dress.
For the engagement, she wore a striped summer dress by the brand, which has dressed several celebrities for their weddings in the past. Notable Ralph Lauren brides of recent years include Priyanka Chopra, Lily Collins and Naomi Biden, granddaughter of former US president, Joe Biden.
