Taylor Swift Ditches This Classic Wedding-Guest Dress Rule

Taylor Swift opted for a Zimmermann dress that many would likely hesitate to wear to someone else’s wedding to model Karen Elson’s wedding.

Can you wear cream to a wedding? Taylor Swift certainly thinks so! The singer and newly-mustachioed beau Travis Kelce jetted over from Kansas City to New York to attend model Karen Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster (where Elson donned a custom Valentino by Alessandro Michele). For the star-studded occasion, Swift opted for a Zimmermann dress that many would likely hesitate to wear to someone else’s wedding. The cream-coloured linen dress featured a scalloped neck and hemline with cut-out details and a lace-up corset back.

But the dress wasn’t without some colour: the skirt is printed with large multicoloured florals. Swift added an additional pop of colour – a “something blue,” if you will – with a circular Vivienne Westwood pouch bag the colour of the sky, and featuring the late designer’s telltale orb emblem. She added a pair of Christian Louboutin heeled sandals in the “leche” colourway.



When it comes to wedding-guest dressing, most people would opt to stay away from anything remotely close to white under any circumstances. Even a pale blue or yellow can ignite the internet and wedding etiquette ethicists into a frenzy. But some brides are all for guests in white (or white-adjacent.

) Who can forget Solange’s all-white wedding in 2014, after all? While we aren’t certain if Elson and Foster had a colour-specific dress code (supermodel Linda Evangelista and Kelce both wore black, while Helena Christensen wore red), Taylor Swift has taken a very clear stance on what side of acceptable cream falls on. Who’s brave enough to follow in her footsteps?.
