Taylor Swift’s recent appearance at model Karen Elson’s wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster has sparked a debate about wedding guest attire. The singer, known for her impeccable style, chose a cream-colored Zimmermann dress that many consider a bold choice for a wedding.
The linen dress, featuring a scalloped neck and hemline with cut-out details and a lace-up corset back, was adorned with large multicoloured florals, adding a touch of vibrancy. Swift accessorized with a sky-blue Vivienne Westwood pouch bag and Christian Louboutin heels in a pale cream shade.
While many believe wearing white or anything resembling white to a wedding is a faux pas, there are brides who embrace the color. Solange Knowles’ 2014 all-white wedding is a prime example. It remains unclear if Elson and Foster had a specific dress code for their wedding. Supermodel Linda Evangelista and Swift’s beau, Travis Kelce, both wore black, while Helena Christensen opted for red.
Regardless of the dress code, Taylor Swift’s choice to wear a cream dress has ignited a conversation about wedding etiquette. Some may view it as a daring fashion statement, while others might find it disrespectful to the bride. The question remains: is it ever acceptable for guests to wear white to a wedding? This incident highlights the ever-evolving rules of wedding guest attire and the individual interpretations of what is considered appropriate.
