Taylor Swift Just Got Engaged in This Romantic Dress Trend

published 26 August 2025

And in the blink of a crinklin' eye, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged! There are so many other lyrics I could reference right now, but I'm too excited to make a clever pun. All I can say is it's a love story, baby! My colleagues already reported on Swift's stunning engagement ring and bridal manicure, and now it's time to focus on another element of the announcement: the beautiful striped dress she wore.

Naturally, Swift made the dress sell out lightning fast. She's wearing Polo Ralph Lauren's Striped Dress ($398), which is sadly no longer available, but I hope the odds will be in your favor on the resale market. Luckily, however, it incorporates a trend that fashion people are obsessed with: ruching. The stretchy detailing is simultaneously romantic, comfy, and classic. Talk about a win-win. Swift styled the dress with brown Louis Vuitton Isola Sandals ($930). Scroll down to get a better look at the striped dress Swift wore in her engagement announcement.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
