Dua Lipa made her first appearance at Paris Fashion Week this year, and it was for none other than the Chanel spring 2027 show on Monday. For the event, the singer opted for shoes that encapsulate two ongoing shoe trends: the two-tone trend and the garden and floral details trend.

The shoes featured a light pink upper are are designed with an elongated, bird beak-like toe, which is decorated by a black cap-toe detail that extends halfway up the foot.

Björk and Mugler make a compelling match, particularly when you consider their shared fascination with nature, technology and transformation. But this collaboration goes far beyond simply wearing a fresh-off-the-runway look.
On the same day Miguel Castro Freitas presented his Mugler Spring 2027 Naturalia X collection, Björk wore a custom look for a DJ performance in Poland.
Her look combined the collection's purple **** erfly-print second-skin top with a black leather corseted high-waisted skirt, but it was the headpiece that connected Castro Freitas' Mugler with one of the house's most celebrated chapters. Björk wore a fringed feather creation from Thierry Mugler's legendary Les Insectes Spring 1997 Haute Couture collection.
That archive addition feels particularly apt considering Naturalia X explores the relationship between nature and technology, the artificial and the primal. Castro Freitas has also described Björk as a longtime inspiration.
Her involvement extended to the runway presentation itself. 'Öll Birtan' featured on the soundtrack, while excerpts from the Venus as a Boy and Possibly Maybe music videos appeared in Casper Sejersen's visuals throughout the venue.

Mikey Madison attended the The Social Reckoning premiere held at Pathé Palace in Paris on Thursday.

The London premiere is always going to be the highlight of this press tour for me, even with only a few looks in, but I do love this Dior Spring 2026 Haute Couture gown on her.
Lyvans Boolaky/WireImage
This feels completely in tune with the style we have come to **** ociate with Mikey. Classic, simple and elegant at first glance, but look closer and the black base is actually fully embellished. It's a detail that doesn't immediately register in photographs, with the pink, blue and white floral embroidery naturally drawing the eye first.

"I want to be alone." The despairing words spoken by Greta Garbo while being spied on by a thief in her 1932 film Grand Hotel, have been injected with chilling new irony. Using the latest AI technique, the starlet has been brought back to life to flog ball bearings in an advert by the industrial Swedish Company SKF. And what a terrifying spectacle it makes.
The lifelike precision is terrific, from the smoky, undulating voice to the thin pencilled eyebrows that twitch between anxiety and hauteur.
At the same time there is something deathly about the figment. What made Garbo so brilliant to watch was that you didn't know where the woman started and the character began; when the camera was rolling she didn't so much perform as emerge. Her AI rendition has magnetism without presence.
True, the animation deploys cutting-edge AI techniques to evade successfully what is known as the "uncanny valley" trap, the nausea that people feel when faced with simulations that nearly – but do not quite – resemble real humans. But simulations like Greta's arguably occupy a new ******* e that one might call the "immaculate void".
Garbo's family gave their permission for the ad. But it's impossible to know how Garbo herself would have felt about it. As we extract commercial value from the departed without their consent, it begs the question: are we any better than Egyptian grave robbers, who sacrilegiously plundered the dead?

Apple Martin has officially gone from fashion campaign star to runway model. The 22-year-old daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin made her runway debut on Thursday, Oct. 1, stepping onto the catwalk for Chloé's Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week.
For the milestone moment, Martin wore an airy white maxi dress that leaned fully into the romantic, free-spirited aesthetic **** ociated with Chloé under creative director Chemena Kamali.

And while Martin has spent the past few years steadily building a fashion résumé, walking a Paris Fashion Week runway puts her in an entirely new category.
Martin made her first-ever runway appearance at Chloé's Spring/Summer 2027 ready-to-wear show in Paris, where she joined an established cast that included models Mona Tougaard, Edie Campbell, Mariacarla Boscono and Eva Herzigová. Cynthia Erivo and Claire Danes were among the famous faces watching from the front row.

Maybe it's a me thing, but I've been craving the thrill and suspense of an award show. Luckily, tonight is the 78th Primetime Emmy Awards, where NBC's Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay is hosting live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. As a self-proclaimed binge-watcher, I'm all caught up on tonight's nominees, led by The Pitt with 25 nominations and Hacks at 24, breaking the record for a comedy series to date. But it's not just the potential winners getting buzz; it's the red carpet arrivals, too.
We're tuning in to see which designers tonight's attendees are wearing and get a glimpse of which trends will define 2027—or, in this case, which controversial trends. Shailene Woodley, who won her first Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Hulu's Paradise last week, arrived on tonight's red carpet in a look from Pierpaolo Piccioli's Balenciaga F/W 26 haute couture collection.
The trend in question? Sequin-embroidered trousers. Woodley wore the divisive pants with their runway pairing, a plunging periwinkle tank, but traded the oversize coat for a pair of burgundy opera gloves. Woodley's stylist, Karla Welch, introduced more color with a beautiful collared necklace crafted from Venetian glass by HOWL. The flooded hem hides Woodley's, I ***** ume, very tall heels.

It's been 84 years two months since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and the couple managed to keep the wedding completely private. There are no leaked photos to speak of, and we still haven't seen pics of Tay's wedding dress—a Dior haute couture gown designed by Jonathan Anderson.
So, why hasn't Tay shared photos of her and Travis's big day yet—and when can fans expect them to drop?
The New York Times previously noted that a Dior spokesman said photos would be shared "after Swift herself posts the first pictures on her Instagram." Which obviously hasn't happened just yet! And now a source tells the Daily Mail that Taylor is simply doing things on her own terms.
While Taylor has been "very secretive" about her exact plans, she's waiting for buzz about the wedding to calm down a bit before sharing photos. But "when she eventually does, it's not going to be transactional. She's not going to suddenly release her wedding photos to sell an album or coincide with some big announcement."

In her American ELLE cover debut, the American actress lights up a cigarette in the unconventional cover photograph, captured by the photographer Allan Hamitouche. Against a classic grey studio backdrop, the Golden Globe Award-winning talent showcases a feathered creation from Pierpaolo Piccioli's debut Balenciaga Haute Couture Fall 2026 collection.

Amal Clooney infused her summer sartorial agenda with a dose of bridal charm. The international human rights lawyer has been enjoying a European getaway at her picturesque Lake Como Villa with her husband, George **** ey.
On August 27, Amal stepped out in style as she stunned in a white silk slip dress. The garment featured a figure-hugging silhouette with a plunging neckline and delicate spaghetti straps. She accessorized the look with a pair of silver strappy shoes and two chunky bangle bracelets. Amal carried a white flower that perfectly coordinated with her ethereal gown. The 48-year-old's choice of footwear doesn't come as a surprise given the domination of silver heels on the runway in recent seasons.
During Jonathan Anderson's debut collection for Dior, he peppered the runway with silver mules embellished with rosettes. Meanwhile, during Matthieu Blazy's enchanting Chanel Haute Couture collection, models graced the catwalk in silver slingbacks.

Amal's luscious locks were styled into her signature voluminous blowout. Meanwhile, George matched his wife's summer style as he wore a dove-gray T-shirt with a pair of matching tailored pants.

True entertainers can charm the pants off even the toughest of critics. Although anyone with good Wi-Fi and a clean iPhone lens can go viral, it takes hard work, genuine talent, a whole lot of perseverance, and, of course, innate magnetism to cut through the algorithm and catch the attention of industry gatekeepers and fickle fans alike. And all 31 honorees selected for our 2026 Breakthrough List have done just that.

Actor-writer-director Eva Victor, for instance, went from posting (respectfully) goofy pandemic-era TikTok sketches to darling of last year's Sundance Film Festival with her debut feature Sorry, Baby; now, she calls Pedro Pascal and Olivia Wilde co-stars. For FLO, "Leak It" has established the British trio as one of music's most sizzling R&B acts, while campy duo Haute & Freddy's synthy whimsy and thoughtful lyricism earned them the stamp of approval from a certified pop icon: Lady Gaga. After cutting his teeth with one supporting role after the next, The Shards standout Igby Rigney proves he has what it takes to be one of TV's leading men. Meanwhile, Mexican actor Diego Calva has one Golden Globe nomination to his name, and we predict another coming his way for his tender performance in Jordan Firstman's already-buzzy Club Kid.

Whether they're topping charts with tomorrow's Grammy-winning earworms, delighting audiences in mega-viral social media series, or breathing new life into beloved franchises like Legally Blonde and Baywatch, these artists will remain at the top of our feeds, queues, and playlists for years. Below, meet this year's breakthroughs.

Calling Jon Hamm, Olivia Wilde, and Amanda Peete co-stars is no small matter, but that's reality for Aimee Carrero, a scene-stealer in Apple TV+'s Emmy-nominated Your Friends and Neighbors. A featured player in dozens of IMDb credits thus far, the Dominican-American actress from Miami has a starring role in the comedy One Attempt Remaining (with Jennifer Garner, Kate McKinnon, John Cena, no less) coming down the pike. As for who Carrero thinks will have a banner year? Inde Navarrette: "I love seeing a young Latina woman out there doing her thing."

What was your first job?
Working in a furniture store—West Elm. A celebrity who will remain unnamed came in and ordered a ton of sh*t. It was gonna be a huge commission for me. I went to ring her up, and the card declined. She says, "I'll be back tomorrow." Never came back.

Who should play you in your biopic?
Olivia Rodrigo. You want someone younger and more beautiful than you to do it.

What's the most underrated movie, TV show, song, or album of all time?
Well, it wasn't underrated at the time, but I do think this new generation needs to get into The X Files. Gillian Anderson was my first celebrity crush. There's a new one coming out—Ryan Coogler's—it's gonna be amazing, I'm sure.

Donatella Versace is part of perhaps the most influential fashion family in the world. Alongside her siblings Gianni and Santo, Donatella built the Versace fashion house from the ground up. As the youngest sibling in the Versace family, Donatella was born in Reggio Calabria, Italy, in 1955. Like her brother Gianni, Donatella learned the art of design from their mother, who was a talented dressmaker. After leaving university, Donatella supported Gianni during the launch of his fashion house Versace in the late 1970s — acting as his "muse and critic" before being given control of Versace's "Versus" line. Over the years, Donatella took on a more active role in the business; she especially led Versace whilst Gianni was battling cancer in the mid-1990s.
However, shortly after Gianni's recovery, the legendary designer was murdered outside of his home in Miami, Florida, in 1997. In the wake of his tragic passing, Donatella took charge of the family's business. As chief creative officer, Donatella expanded the brand to include fragrance, accessories, home decor, and even hotels — not to mention reimagining both the Versus and haute couture line Atelier Versace. Though Donatella stepped down from her role as Versace's creative director in 2025, she remains at the forefront of her family's brand as Chief Brand Ambassador. Donatella's steadfast commitment to preserving her brother's legacy, solidifying her own, and influencing the fashion industry at large makes her quote of the day more relevant than ever.

Donatella Versace understands firsthand how the way you dress can impact how you are perceived — both by other people and internally. During an interview with Vogue Australia in 2012, Donatella said, "Fashion is a weapon that you can use when you need it. I think my own look makes people think I'm tough but when they get to know me I'm very different. It's like armour that was useful to me in the first years after Gianni's death." Donatella utilized her style to navigate the public eye after her brother's passing, keeping up appearances even when she was at her lowest.

Georgina Rodríguez made her intimate wedding to Cristiano Ronaldo an exceptionally glamorous affair, accessorizing her bridal look with more than 250 carats of Chopard diamonds. The football icon's wife, 32, wore an extraordinary collection of Chopard jewelry when she married the Portuguese star, 41, in a civil ceremony on August 11, 2026, in Cascais, Portugal.
The centerpiece of Georgina Rodríguez's jewelry was a spectacular necklace featuring a 50-carat brilliant-cut diamond. The statement piece also included a 6.41-carat brilliant-cut diamond, 98 carats of pear-shaped diamonds, 40 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds, and 2 carats of marquise-cut diamonds. Her earrings were equally eye-catching. The pair featured two 25-carat pear-shaped diamonds, alongside 26 carats of heart-shaped diamonds and 4.35 carats of brilliant-cut diamonds.
Rodríguez completed her diamond-heavy bridal ensemble with two diamond-adorned rings, including one from Chopard's Garden of Kalahari collection and another from its Haute Joaillerie collection. She also wore a diamond bracelet.
According to Page Six, the total value of the jewelry could be as much as $55 million. The lavish accessories contrasted with the intimate nature of Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo's wedding. The couple exchanged vows in a private civil ceremony attended by their five children.
Ronaldo later shared a photograph of the couple's hands showing their wedding bands, captioning the image, "C(heart emoji)G."

Tommy John, the namesake of a revolutionary elbow surgery that has saved thousands of pitchers' careers over the past five decades, including his own, has died at the age of 83, Los Angeles Dodgers announced Sunday, Aug. 16.
John had been in hospice care at his home in Bradenton, Florida, and sent a message to the New York Yankees saying his goodbyes before the team's Old Timers' Day home game against the Atlanta Braves on Aug. 8, 2026, also thanking Dr. Frank Jobe, who performed his surgery.
"I want to thank the Yankees organization & the Steinbrenner family for giving me this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, along with all the friends & fans who followed me throughout my 26-year career," John, who pitched for the Yankees from 1979-82 and 1986-89, said in a statement.
"The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, 'Good luck, Tommy. Just remember one thing: whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don't, you'll always just be Tommy John from Terre Haute, Indiana."
John started his major league career with Cleveland in 1963, before pitching with the Chicago White Sox from 1965-71.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) — When people hear Tommy John, they immediately think of the surgery pitchers in baseball have to repair a ligament in their elbow, but the man it is named for, a Terre Haute native who has recently entered hospice care, is accepting his fate as he pens a letter to his fans.
Recently, Terre Haute native and former MLB pitcher Tommy John thanked the New York Yankees and the fans who cheered him on over his career as he enters hospice care. Bruce Rosselli, a part-owner and general manager for the Terre Haute Rex, who has hosted a Tommy John night in the past to honor his legacy and impact on the game, and a friend of Tommy John, was shocked to hear the news of Tommy John's health.
"I was saddened to hear that," Rosselli said. "The last few weeks, I've been speaking with him, encouraging him and letting him know Terre Haute is behind him, the Terre Haute Rex are playing for him. Things like that to encourage him."
Tommy John played 26 seasons in the MLB with six different teams and recorded over 2,000 strikeouts while collecting nearly 300 wins as a pitcher.
"In the modern era of the 1960s, 70s, he was all over the map with Major League Baseball, getting drafted in 1961," Rosselli said.

Terre Haute legend Tommy John, who's been battling illness for quite some time, wrote a letter to the fans that the New York Yankees posted on social media Saturday as part of their 78th Old-Timers' Day.
John, 83, was unable to attend the live festivities at Yankee Stadium. He has lived in Florida with his wife Cheryl for the last few years.
"A Letter from Tommy John" started with "I want to thank the Yankees organization & the Steinbrenner family for giving me this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, along with all the friends & fans who followed me throughout my 26-year career."
A two-sport standout at Terre Haute Gerstmeyer in the late 1950s and early 1960s — once scoring a school-record 47 points in a basketball game as a senior — the 6-foot-3 John signed with the Cleveland Indians' organization as a pitcher in 1961.
Although young adults may know of John from the elbow surgery named after him — performed by the late Dr. Frank Jobe on John's left arm in September 1974 — he enjoyed a 26-year Major League Baseball career that included four All-Star Game selections and stints with six different teams.

Former All-Star pitcher Tommy John, whose innovative elbow surgery from more than 50 years ago has helped thousands of pitchers prolong their careers, sent an emotional message to the New York Yankees on Old-Timers' Day on Saturday, thanking the organization and the fans while acknowledging his failing health.
John, 83, who has battled bladder cancer and other ailments in recent years, reached out and expressed his gratitude to late Dr. Frank Jobe, late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and Yankees fans.
"I want to thank the Yankees organization & the Steinbrenner family for giving me this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone, along with all the friends & fans who followed me throughout my 26-year career."
He concluded the message saying, "The day I left for my first job as a pitcher, my father looked at me & said, 'Good luck, Tommy. Just remember one thing: whether you make it big in the big leagues or you don't, you'll always just be Tommy John from Terre Haute, Indiana.
"I've never forgotten those words. Thank you & God Bless."

Aug. 6—Illinois football training camp is underway. But that isn't the only Illini team building up to the start of their seasons. Beat writer Scott Richey spotlights three other Illini programs before they get going in the 2026-27 school year:
Saturday evening's exhibition at Marquette will mark the only time between now and the end of the month Illinois will play away from Demirjian Park. Katie Hultin's second season as coach will officially begin with four straight home matches. None bigger, of course, than the Aug. 13 season opener against No. 19 Georgia, which will pit Illini junior forward Cayla Jackson against her old team in the Bulldogs' return of a 2024 match in Athens, Ga. Georgia won 2-0, with Jackson scoring her first career goal in her collegiate debut for the Bulldogs.
The Big Ten's move to a 17-match slate, where each team plays every other conference member once puts more emphasis on the nonconference portion of the schedule. League play will serve as its typical résumé booster, but 11 nonconference matches now have more weight. Illinois will play twice at home — Aug. 28 against Cincinnati and Aug. 30 against Syracuse at Huff Hall — to start the season, but key matches loom with a Big Ten/SEC Challenge showdown at Tennessee on Sept. 1 and a home-and-home with Marquette (Sept. 11, Sept. 13).
Both Illinois' men's and women's teams boast the same fall schedule, starting with the Fighting Illini Invitational on Sept. 4 at the Orange and Blue Golf Course in Savoy. Three weeks later, the Illini will head to Columbia, Mo., for the Gans Creek Classic and close out their regular season slate on Oct. 16 at Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind. Those three meets will serve as postseason preparation for coach Eric Johannigmeier's teams, with the Big Ten championship scheduled for Oct. 30 in Madison, Wis., at Thomas Zimmer Championship Course.

Wayne Newton Post 346 received a forfeit baseball victory Wednesday morning in the American Legion Great Lakes Regional and will play for the first time at 4 p.m. Thursday in a winners' bracket game.
Now 35-5, Post 346 will play the winner of Wednesday's first-round game between Washington (Mo.) and Owensboro (Ky.). Post 346 is 4-0 against those teams, going 3-0 against Washington and beating Owensboro in the championship game of the John Hayes Invitational.
"But all of them have been really close games," coach Jason Fields cautioned.
Coach Fields has another situation to deal with too. Injuries and college commitments have cost him four players for the rest of the tournament, leaving him with 13 players (10 of whom have pitched this summer).
Terre Haute was expecting to play Valparaiso Post 94, the team that beat it 1-0 in the state championship last week, but a protest was filed against Valparaiso when the eight coaches convened Tuesday night.

Wayne Newton Post 346 missed an Indiana American Legion Baseball State Tournament ******* le by the slimmest of margins last week, seemingly ending the Terre Haute team's stellar season.
Post 346 lost 1-0 to Valparaiso last Tuesday in the state championship game, allowing Valpo to advance into the next round at the Great Lakes Regional.
But last weekend, the Wisconsin state champion opted not to participate, the Terre Haute squad was offered an invitation to participate, and now the Post 346 team leaves Tuesday to compete in the eight-team field of the regional at Kentucky Proud Park in Lexington. Play in the double-elimination tournament begins Wednesday and concludes Sunday.
Ironcially, Wayne Newton, with a sparkling 34-5 season record, drew Valparaiso for a opening-day matchup at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Post 346 then plays either Washington, Missouri or Owensboro, Kentucky on Thursday at 9:30 a.m. (if Terre Haute loses Wednesday) or 4 p.m. (if Terre Haute wins Wednesday).
Also in the field are teams from Pittsburg, Kansas; Midland, Michigan; Aviston, Illinois and Lexington.

Justin Grant won the night at Haubstadt's Tri-State Speedway, while Kyle ******* mins won the week.
Grant, a Californian, charged from the seventh starting position, passed Harley Burns for the race lead on Lap 18, then led the final 13 circuits to capture his third victory of USAC's nine-race 2026 Indiana Sprint Week series on Saturday night at Haubstadt, according to USAC.
Meanwhile, ******* mins, a Princeton native, finished the race third, but earned enough points to secure his first career USAC Indiana Sprint Week championship by a mere seven-point margin over Grant. ******* mins won last Thursday's Don Smith Classic at the Terre Haute Action Track, the seventh race in the ISW competition.

Shaquille O'Neal offered Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce a sarcastic thank-you after discovering that Charles Barkley received an invitation to their wedding while he did not.
The NBA legend was speaking with People at Fanatics Fest in New York City on July 17 when he was asked whether he had been invited to the couple's July 3 ceremony.
"No. Thanks, Taylor. Thanks, Travis," O'Neal replied, maintaining a deadpan expression as he looked toward the camera.
O'Neal delivered the comment at the Javits Center during the three-day sports and entertainment convention. He and Barkley have been friends and on-air rivals for years, so it was pretty funny when Barkley confirmed that he was actually on the guest list. Still, when asked what message he wanted to send the couple, he answered, "May it last forever."
Swift and Kelce, both 36, married at Madison Square Garden before approximately 1,000 guests. Swift's representative confirmed the July 3 ceremony to People. The couple wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture looks designed by Jonathan Anderson. Swift's brother Austin served as her man of honor, Jason Kelce was his brother's best man and Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony.

"The Odyssey" press tour continued with the cast's arrival in Paris on Tuesday. Zendaya, Lupita Nyong'o and more dripped in designer threads and jewelry while posing in front to the Eiffel Tower at Trocadero Square for the latest photo op.
Despite the unofficial Greican-inspired dress code, some stars deviated, favoring contemporary pieces by Tom Ford and shimmering designs by Armani Privé. WWD breaks down those looks ahead.

The Trocadéro provided the perfect setting for The Odyssey Paris photocall this evening, with the Eiffel Tower creating an unforgettable backdrop as the sun set over the city.
Law Roach's encyclopaedic knowledge of fashion history was evident here, because it's easy to imagine that, the moment he learned the photocall would take place at the Trocadéro, Philip Treacy's extraordinary gold lace headpiece, first worn by Debra Shaw on the Givenchy Spring 1997 Haute Couture runway, immediately came to mind.
That became the starting point for Zendaya's latest press tour look.
She wore the collection's white tailored dress, designed by Alexander McQueen, featuring razor-sharp tailoring, a sculptural silhouette and oversized detachable cuffs, creating one of the most memorable couture moments from McQueen's early tenure at the house.
While Greek mythology has naturally inspired much of Zendaya's wardrobe throughout The Odyssey press tour, I love that this look proves a goddess reference doesn't always have to rely on flowing drapery or overt Grecian cues. Instead, the styling took a more regal, ceremonial approach, with Treacy's dramatic headpiece transforming the look into something almost mythical against the Paris skyline.

As details trickle out about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded wedding, Swifties are impatiently waiting for a peek at what the superstar singer-songwriter wore on the big day.
As The Hollywood Reporter correctly predicted ahead of their July 3 ceremony at Madison Square Garden, the "Love Story" singer wore a custom haute couture gown by Jonathan Anderson of Christian Dior. The groom matched with a haute couture look by Anderson for Dior; Swift and Kelce both sported Christian Louboutin shoes, as Swift wore Cartier jewelry.

Eighty-two years after Hamilton native Joe Nuxhall made his Major League Baseball debut, and 19 years after his death, he’s still fondly remembered for his lasting impact on and off the baseball diamond.
Greg Phegley, 57, a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan from Terre Haute, Indiana, recently made a presentation about Nuxhall during the 37th Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture at the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
His presentation was ***** led: “The Ol’ Left-Hander, a Cincinnati Icon.”
Phegley remembers listening to Marty Brennaman and Nuxhall on WLW radio while driving to Reds games with his father.
Marty and Joe, as they were affectionately called in Reds Country, were “a big deal,” Phegley said.

Taylor Swift fans have finally found out the designer who created the pop star's dress for her wedding to Travis Kelce.
The superstar, 36, tied the knot with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce at a Madison Square Garden ceremony Friday night and marked the occasion with billboards outside the venue saying, "JUST&T MARRIED."
In a statement shared with The Independent, Swift's representative has revealed that the ceremony was officiated by Adam Sandler and that Swift did not have bridesmaids.
Instead, her brother Austin Swift served as Taylor's Man of Honor and Jason Kelce was Travis' Best Man.
Meanwhile, after much speculation, it was confirmed that both Swift and Kelce's wedding looks were created by Christian Dior Haute Couture, designed by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of Dior Women's, Men's and Haute Couture Collections, "in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom".
