Swift looks great in bold looks by Elie Saab and edgy outfits by Balmain and Julien Macdonald, a brand that’s also adored by celebs like Jennifer Lopez and Gigi Hadid

Her other fave designers include luxe maisons Atelier Versace and Louis Vuitton but she’s also into J. Mendel’s sweet designs, like the Greek goddess-like gown she wore to the 2013 Grammys

Taylor Swift is the highest-paid female entertainer in the world as she’s the only woman who made it to the Forbes’ top 10 list, earning a whopping US$92 million in 2022, thanks to her highly successful album Midnights.

The 33-year-old superstar is not only one of the richest pop divas of 2022, she’s also a fashion icon. Her style is never boring as her chameleon-like nature helps her rock a variety of looks, whatever the occasion. Whether she’s casually strolling down the streets of New York or rocking up to red carpet events, we can be sure that her fashion choices are uniquely hers.

So, who are her go-to designers?

1. Oscar de la Renta

The “Gorgeous” singer is clearly a fan of Oscar de la Renta, as it’s been her designer of choice on the red carpet on multiple occasions.

Take for instance her dazzling crystal sheer minidress from the MTV Video Music Awards last year. The head-turning ensemble decorated with silver chains was a bold move for the songstress, who rocked it boldly without skipping a beat. Swift complemented the US$25,000 piece with sparkling Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

A year earlier, she made history as the first female artist ever to win Grammy’s album of the year three times and she did it in an unforgettably charming floral dress. From Oscar de la Renta’s autumn/winter 2021 collection, this tulle dress is appliquéd with about 200 colourful blooms, and was the perfect choice for the floral princess.
