Swifties took to celebrating this monumental occasion by shopping for the dress she wears in the engagement photos — Ralph Lauren’s Striped Silk-Blend halter in a maxi length. The dress currently retails for $319 on Ralph Lauren’s website, but is sold out pretty much everywhere.
The viral dress features a vertical stripe in black set against a white backdrop. The bodice is slightly ruched, creating textural interest, while the straps tie at the nape of the neck in a dainty bow. Simple and summery, the dress was a perfect pick for a photo op surrounded by flowers.
Swift wore the star piece with strappy tan Louis Vuitton Lv Isola sandals, a bunch of gold jewelry and her engagement ring, of course. The ring is a Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine Jewelry old mine brilliant cut diamond ring, and it’s a big one. The stone is massive compared to the band, a lovely contrast that makes the ring and Swift’s hand look dainty by comparison.

The overall styling choices were simple but effective. We’d wear this dress with a beachier footwear option, such as an espadrille or wedge — something with height that will lengthen your silhouette. The accessories offered her look a touch of shine, something we’d stick by when styling. Gold was the right choice for Swift, but we’d suggest shopping around to see which hue — gold or silver — fits your skin tone the best.
For those of us who were too late to shop Swift’s Ralph Lauren dress, not to fret. We at ShopBillboard have compiled a list of dresses, both short and maxi length, dramatic or subdued, that are similar to Swift’s style. You’ll find a slew of sizing options and varying prices below from brands such as Max Mara, Ralph Lauren and Anthropologie, among others.
