The Ladies Over 40 Who Completely Stunned At Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce's Wedding

The most anticipated wedding of the year, often called the American royal wedding, was held this Friday, July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. In the iconic arena, pop royalty Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce exchanged their vows and tied the knot in front of an estimated whopping 1,000 guests. An intimate gathering? Not for the two superstars who had plenty of famous guests to invite.

Among the stars who showed up to the wedding, plenty of women over 40 had us in awe. In fact, some of them gave us the best beauty moments from Taylor Swift's fairytale wedding, while others stunned with their fashion choices. A-listers like Jennifer Lopez, Miranda Lambert, Elizabeth Banks and Co. have shown that looking fab doesn't end when your thirties do — in fact, many of these ladies have never looked better! From classic black gowns and soft glam makeup to fairycore dresses and bright lips, these women are all about having fun with their look no matter the age.

Former soccer player Abby Wambach and her wife, author Glennon Doyle, were among the attendees of the highly anticipated Taylor Swift wedding. For the night, 46-year-old Wambach donned a classic black tuxedo while 50-year-old Doyle looked like an icy princess in her silver floor-length dress. While Wambach accessorized her look with a statement button-cover brooch at the collar and a vest chain, Doyle opted for silver heels, a white clutch, a delicate choker, and small earrings.

"Always on Time" singer Ashanti shared glimpses of her wedding guest look on social media, where she gushed about the couple tying the knot. "What an amazing night, so much love in the building," Ashanti wrote on her Instagram Stories alongside a video of her and her husband, musician Nelly, heading home for the night. Ashanti rocked a glam outfit and an eye-catching sparkly number, which she accessorized with a matching choker necklace and dangly earrings. The 45-year-old singer finished the look with thick eyeliner and nude lips for a classic glam makeup look.

Not only were musician Brad Paisley and actor Kimberly Williams-Paisley among the guests at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded wedding, but their charity, The Store, was one of the nonprofits that Swift and Kelce chose to receive a donation — among many others, for an inspiring total of $26 million. "We just wanted to take a second and say it's transformative. It will feed so many families, and what a way to start a marriage," Brad said in an Instagram post. In it, 54-year-old Kimberly can be seen rocking a floral lavender dress, serving us major fairy vibes.

"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" stars Mary Elizabeth Ellis and her husband, Charlie Day, looked sophisticated and modern for the Madison Square Garden wedding, as Day's Instagram Stories showcase. In particular, we adored Ellis' bold and colorful approach to wedding-guest fashion, which clearly showed that one can have fun with colors at 40+. At the age of 47, Ellis is nowhere near done with expressing herself through fashion, and her strapless pink dress was the perfect whimsical choice for a summer wedding.

Pop star and actor Jennifer Lopez also showed up for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's big day, and on July 4, she shared what her wedding-guest look was. Lopez posted pics of herself on Instagram, showcasing that she decided to rock an all-black dress for the celebratory event. Her dress featured a tight bodice and a poofy skirt. Lopez accessorized the look with a statement diamond necklace and earrings. The star finished the look off with soft glam makeup, proving once again that Jennifer Lopez's post-divorce style is all about dressing for revenge.

"Somethin' Bad" singer Miranda Lambert looked vampy and chic in a sleek black floor-length halter dress with risky lace panels above and under her bust. Lambert paired the edgy dress with classic makeup enhancing her eyes and soft, voluminous waves. While her look was simple, the 42-year-old still stunned, all while also looking very comfortable. Judging from the wide smile she was giving photographers on her way home, it certainly seems like the country star had a blast at the wedding.

While most attendees went for classic black gowns or sparkly numbers, "The Hunger Games" actor Elizabeth Banks dared to go for a bold hue. On her Instagram, Banks shared that she wore a royal blue halter dress with an intricate pattern on it. This outfit definitely set her apart from the many basic gowns of the night. Banks had her hair styled in a slicked-back manner, and her makeup focused on her smoky eye. We already know that Elizabeth Banks stays youthful without a complicated routine, but these pics confirm it, as the 52-year-old star looks gorgeous.

Actor Jessica Alba certainly looks like she hasn't aged a day since she rose to fame. At the age of 45, Alba attended Taylor Swift's star-studded wedding, after which she shared photos of her look on Instagram. Alba looked sophisticated and like she was ready to party in a low-cut black halter top and a gold maxi skirt covered in large sequins. The "Fantastic Four" star styled her hair in a ponytail with a large bow on top for that extra bit of drama.

Tommy Hilfiger's wife, designer Dee Ocleppo, shared an adorable car selfie of herself and her husband heading to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding. While we can't see her entire outfit in it, she might just be one of the stars with the most stunning color combination of the night. The 59-year-old blond paired red and teal for a bold and colorful look that is hard to forget. The cherry on top? Her coral lips and teal flower earrings added the perfect finishing touch!
