… she’ll choose Wiederhoeft
The history: Swift has already given designer Jackson Wiederhoeft her stamp of approval – twice. While the young designer has made a name for himself in the bridal space, she’s instead opted for his more colourful styles. For a 2025 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Swift opted for a floral brocade corset and matching miniskirt. She turned to the designer again for the 2026 iHeart Radio Music Awards, hitting the carpet in a corseted sea foam green number.
Why we think she’d choose them: Swift is not afraid to champion smaller brands. And while Wiederhoeft is newer on the scene, it’s already becoming a major player in the bridal space. If Swift wants something decidedly bridal, but still unexpected, Wiederhoeft would be a great pick. Plus, they make a killer corset.
If she wants a failsafe…
… she’ll choose Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia
The history: Swift was a dedicated fan of Kim and Garcia’s Oscar de la Renta, be it the sky blue floral cut-out gown she wore to the premiere of The Eras Tour concert film, the dripping jewelled minidress at the 2022 MTV VMAs, or the floral appliqué mock neck mini at the 2021 Grammys. But she has also shown independent brand Monse some love, rocking the UFO dress at the 2024 VMAs. It seems that she’ll follow Kim and Garcia wherever they go.
Why we think she’d choose them: At Oscar de la Renta, Kim and Garcia proved that they were more than capable of busting out a dramatic ballgown. Although they stepped back from ODLR in September to focus on Monse, we have no doubt the designers could be serious contenders.
