Taylor Swift Met Gala Looks, Dress Photos

Don’t blame E! for taking a visit down Met Gala reminiscence lane.

With hours to go earlier than the 2026 occasion—set to be co-chaired by Beyonce, Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams and Vogue‘s Anna Wintour—a few of the most iconic Met Gala seems of all time are being revisited, together with these worn by Taylor Swift on the steps of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

Indeed, the “Bejeweled” singer made the entire place shimmer throughout her Met Gala debut in May 2008, arriving on the purple carpet in a golden Badgley Mischka design that honored the evening’s “Superheroes: Fashion and Fantasy” theme. (At the time, Taylor was 18 years previous, just meeting the Met Gala’s minimum age requirement.)

Two years later, in May 2010, Taylor returned to vogue’s greatest evening in an ethereal Ralph Lauren costume, following the Met Gala’s nod to “American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity.”

An edgier turned got here in 2011, when Taylor donated an ensemble by J. Mendel.

“We have an ongoing dialogue with Taylor Swift,” the model’s CEO Gilles Mendel advised The Hollywood Reporter in October 2012.” For such a young lady to have such a great sense of what she wants to wear is unusual. I’m very excited to be part of the process.”

Taylor labored with the style home as soon as once more for the Met Gala’s “Punk: Chaos to Couture” theme in 2013.
