The Erdem design included an off-the-shoulder neckline with short sleeves and bows, while the bodice of the dress was structured with slight exposed boning beneath the muted, light teal tone of the minidress.

From the waist, the dress featured draped, structured fabric with floral details throughout, creating a deconstructed bent to the entire look. Tones of silver as well as green and red added further contrast to the tone of the dress while heightening the whimsical aesthetic.

Swift paired her dress with a set of gold Aleví Milano sandal heels. As for accessories, the “Opalite” singer wore jewelry pieces by Le Vian, Miraki and Selim Mouzannar. Swift’s hair was coiffed in a half-up, half-down style with fringe to frame her face by Jemma Muradian. Her makeup included lined eyes and Swift’s signature red lip by artist Lorrie Turk. Stylist Joseph Cassell Falconer curated Swift’s red carpet look.

Swift’s Erdem dress made its runway debut during London Fashion Week in February 2026. Curated by the label’s founder and creative director Erdem Moralıoğlu, the collection was a “mashup” that commemorated the label’s milestone 20th anniversary.

Moralıoğlu dubbed the collection “Impossible Conversations,” positing the question: “What would happen if all of these women spoke to each other, the kind of dialogue between Maria Callas and Radclyffe Hall, or Duke Ellington and Marianne North?” Moralıoğlu said backstage, per Miles Socha’s WWD review of the collection.

“I liked the idea that it was, for lack of better words, this kind of mashup and dialogue between all of these muses.”

What unfolded on the runway was a collection of designs, especially dresses, that “were truly dreamy, including a narrow yellow column beaded and bejeweled to the max, and a creamy lace crinoline dress that grazed the knees of the audience,” Socha wrote.

“Toy Story 5” follows Woody and Buzz, voiced by Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, as the two toys and their friends confront electronics and the new threat to kids’ playtime. Swift wrote the song “I Knew It, I Knew You” for the fifth installment in the Disney Pixar animated film series. “Toy Story 5” hits theaters June 19.
