It’s official! Taylor Swift married Travis Kelce at Madison Square Garden, and she did it in true showgirl style: a bespoke Christian Dior Haute Couture gown by Jonathan Anderson, paired with Christian Louboutin heels and Cartier jewels. It’s the first couture wedding gown Anderson has ever designed for a major celebrity—and we can’t wait to see it!
Dior feels like the perfect match for Taylor, who’s always had a soft spot for old-Hollywood glamour. And it turns out, long before Swift was a twinkle in her mom’s eye, Dior was already the name Hollywood’s leading ladies trusted for their big day. Indeed, the tradition goes all the way back to the label’s earliest years. Here are three dazzling women who said “I do” in Dior—and who had the whole world watching, just like Taylor does now.
Olivia de Havilland: The 1955 icon who wore Dior down the aisle
The Gone With the Wind star and two-time Oscar winner met French journalist Pierre Galante at the Cannes Film Festival in 1953, and the two tied the knot on April 2, 1955, in the tiny French village of Yvoy-le-Marron.

Movie buffs might remember de Havilland in a custom Dior wedding gown on the big screen in The Ambassador’s Daughter—a role that cemented her real-life friendship with the designer. But for her actual wedding day, she kept it chic and understated in a tailored Dior suit from the label’s Spring/Summer ’55 A-line collection. And in a sweet twist, Christian Dior himself was there to see her walk down the aisle.

Rita Hayworth’s rebel blue Dior wedding dress (1949)
Hollywood’s original “Love Goddess” and Gilda star, Rita Hayworth was no stranger to headlines—especially when it came to her love life. Her whirlwind, scandal-tinged romance with Prince Aly Khan culminated in a wedding at the glamorous Château de l’Horizon in the South of France. True to form, Hayworth broke from royal tradition and walked down the aisle in a blue V-neck Dior tea dress with a flirty flared skirt—proof she always did things her own way.

Princess Soraya’s 20,000-Feather Dior Haute Couture Masterpiece (1951)
Talk about a fairy tale wedding dress! German-Iranian socialite Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary became Princess Soraya of Iran when she married the Shah in a jaw-dropping ceremony in Tehran. Her Dior gown was the definition of over-the-top romance, reportedly crafted from 37 yards of silver lamé and adorned with 20,000 feathers and 6,000 diamond accents.

Taylor’s full-circle Dior moment
From old Hollywood glamour to royal romance to today’s biggest pop star, Dior’s bridal legacy spans more than 70 years. And with Jonathan Anderson at the helm, Taylor Swift’s wedding gown carries on a tradition that started with Christian Dior himself.
