Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez Perfect the Metallic Wedding Guest Dress Formula

Taylor Swift’s proof that a monochrome metallic ensemble is ideal for a summer wedding in the city. Of course, her jewelry crafted a particularly romantic narrative, as she wore all the 22K gold and opal diamond pieces from the Darlene De Sedle collection once owned by Elizabeth Taylor. With her hair pulled back in a low bun, her Darlene De Sedle Opal Earrings were on full display for the first time, though Swift’s been incorporating other pieces from the collection into recent looks.

If Taylor Swift proved metallic monochrome is perfect wedding guest attire, Selena Gomez confirmed it with a subtle variation the previous day. On May 14, Gomez was photographed arriving at the Gymkhana restaurant in London wearing a sparkling knit brown dress by Cult Gaia featuring hand-beaded fringe that’s ideal for a destination wedding. Instead of pairing the look with an equally shimmering bag, however, she opted for a deep chocolate Aupen shoulder bag with gold hardware that adds just the right touch of edge for an outing in the city.
