Taylor Swift has a friend in Oscar de la Renta. They've been attached at the hip for decades, reuniting at the 2021 Grammy Awards, the 2023 Eras Tour film premiere, and Selena Gomez's wedding last fall. Swift is never deterred by the brand's four or five-figure price tags. At the Toy Story 5 premiere on June 9, she made a $8,990 Oscar de la Renta gown her own with an $80 necklace.
In Hollywood, it's common for a VIP guest to walk red carpets in full-length gowns, before changing into something shorter for after-parties. Swift did the opposite for her first film screening in three years. She arrived in a patchwork mini dress from Erdem, saving her stage-sweeping gown for surprise performances of "You've Got a Friend In Me" and her new song, "I Knew It, I Knew You."
