Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are engaged
Taylor Swift went engaged, and did it in style. For her garden proposal, she wore the Ralph Lauren Striped Silk-Blend Dress, a mid-length number featuring black-and-white stripes, a smocked bodice, and a breezy A-line skirt.
It’s lightweight, summery, and elegant—pretty fitting for what Swifties are calling the start of her “bridal fashion era”.Once the engagement post dropped, the dress became an obsession. Fan accounts, style blogs, and shoppable features traced it to Ralph Lauren, posted links, and flagged restock alerts.The dress originally retailed for $398 but was quickly marked down to around $320, and sold out almost immediately, Harper's Bazaar reported. As per Teen Vogue, the dress sold out within 20 minutes of the announcement of the engagement, at Ralph Lauren website. "Crafted with a mulberry silk blend for an airy, crinkled hand, this striped dress pairs a smocked bodice and a flowing A-line skirt.
The slender shoulder straps can be adjusted or removed for customized versatility," the website says.
What makes fans go gaga

It’s the kind of fashion moment that puts Swift’s style within reach, if you’re fast enough online.Retro charm: That smocked bodice and flowy skirt give off nostalgic vibes, think “summer romance” more than red carpet glam.Styled with ease: In the engagement photos, Taylor kept things simple, neutral brown sandals, a Cartier watch, soft waves, and that signature bold red lip.
Taylor’s engagement outfit had that perfect Swift touch: effortlessly timeless with a hint of whimsy and a dash of affordability. It’s less red-carpet spectacle and more modern fairytale, something fans can imagine wearing at brunch, a garden party, or even their own engagement.Meanwhile, the NFL star kept things coordinated with his bride-to-be, sporting a sleek black cable-knit polo from the same brand paired with crisp white trousers.
