Taylor Swift's Best White Dress Moments (So Far)

In August 2025, pop star Taylor Swift announced her engagement to NFL star Travis Kelce, and ever since, fans have been eager to hear any updates about this fan-favorite couple's wedding. In particular, we're all waiting to see what the "I Knew It, I Knew You" singer's wedding dress will look like, as Swift is known for having fun with fashion, even using it for Easter eggs that hint at her work. We're sure that Swift's bridal garment will join the list of the most stunning celebrity wedding dresses of 2026.

So, as we wait for more details about the wedding, taking a closer look at the stunning style transformation of Taylor Swift shows that the talented songwriter is no stranger to a white dress. From a fun white look for a night out to a dramatic white red carpet gown, Swift has worn a variety of white dresses, and seeing her in them certainly makes us excited for the one she will rock on her big day.

Taylor Swift's white Schiaparelli gown from the 2024 Grammy Awards remains etched in our memory. The structured starless garment featured a dramatic thigh-high slit and long train for added glamour. Swift paired it with long black gloves, layered necklaces — including a watch choker by Lorraine Schwartz — and of course, her signature red lips. The entire look perfectly encapsulated the aesthetic of Swift's eleventh studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," set to release just two months after this appearance.

Back in 2012, Taylor Swift's fashion was known for its flowy, lightweight fabrics that moved whenever the "I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress moved. So when Swift walked the red carpet of the Teen Choice Awards that year, her white Maria Lucia Hohan dress was the epitome of a fun little white dress. The material was flowy, allowing for plenty of movement, but the true star of the show was Swift's bare back. This backless dress was definitely a daring look for the singer-songwriter at the time.

2014 marked the second year of Taylor Swift performing at the annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Faithful to the event's vibe, the "Bad Blood" singer boasted sultry, revealing on-stage outfits, straying far from what fans were used to seeing from her at the time. For the show's after-party, things weren't that different. Swift opted for an unexpected white dress, a Zuhair Murad Couture design. The gown featured an asymmetrical sheer bodice covered in lines made of sparkly sequins over a naked top. Paired with the thigh-high slit and Jimmy Choo shoes, the dress remains one of Swift's riskiest white dress moments.

For the 2013 Grammy Awards, Taylor Swift emulated a Greek goddess in a white gown by J.Mendel. The garment featured a fun neckline decorated with silver bands that helped hold everything in place. Swift paired the glamorous dress with an updo featuring a braided headband, adding a subtle hint of bohemian aesthetic to the otherwise sophisticated look. With its flowy skirt and bare back, this white dress is certainly among Swift's best choices when it comes to white dresses.

2013 was truly the year of Taylor Swift's most memorable white dresses, as the "Wildest Dreams" singer wore multiple stunning options that could easily serve as wedding-gown inspiration. For the Fragrance Foundation Awards that year, Swift donned a flowy Emilio Pucci design. The dress featured a halter neckline and a sheer cutout in the center of the bodice. Paired with a loose updo and statement earrings, the look was elegant yet youthful, perfectly encapsulating Swift's style.

Taylor Swift's early career also featured a memorable white dress moment, namely the Karen Millen dress the "Love Story" author wore to the 2006 CMT Music Awards. The spaghetti strap midi dress featured black detailing around the singer's waist, creating a fun and unexpected pattern. Swift paired the dress with black-and-white heels, which beautifully matched the design around her waist, creating a cohesive look. While white dresses can easily veer into wedding wear territory, Swift's 2006 look proves that, with a small twist, they can become the perfect summer 'fit.

Taylor Swift channeled her inner ice queen at the 2013 Winter Whites Gala, where she showed up in a sparkly white gown by Reem Acra. The design featured an intricate, slightly sheer bodice featuring plenty of silver embroidery, while the skirt was flowy and floor-length, with a fun slit. In true early 2010s Swift manner, the pop star paired the look with a retro side-swept updo and a red lip.

White dresses have been Taylor Swift's red carpet go-to for years, but the "Cruel Summer" singer loves a simple white mini dress for a night on the town, too. In May 2026, Swift was photographed on a night out in New York City, looking stunning in white. The star wore a long-sleeved turtleneck mini dress featuring a pleated skirt. The piece is from the brand Retrofête and retails for around $400. Swift paired the dress with classic pointy black heels and a black cross-body bag.

Over the years, Taylor Swift has rocked a couple of low-cut white dresses, but the Ralph Lauren dress she wore to the 2013 People's Choice Awards might just be her most memorable one. The plunging neckline, paired with Swift's dramatic smoky eye, gave the whole fit a very sultry look, while the white color of the gown added softness alongside the singer's delicate updo and teal earrings. Among her simpler white dresses, the gown is definitely a great example of how incredible the star looks in minimalist fashion.

Last but certainly not least, we had to include Taylor Swift's white Eras Tour dress. The garment was custom-designed for the tour by Vivienne Westwood, and its skirt featured lyrics from Swift's song "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" The corset top showed off Swift's strong physique, while the voluminous skirt added plenty of movement as the singer danced around the stage while singing hits from her 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department." While a concert outfit, this dress is considered by many as one of Taylor Swift's best-dressed moments in the lead-up to her wedding.
