Sabrina Carpenter was a gothic princess at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's blockbuster wedding on July 3, with the 'Espresso' singer sharing insight into the special day with fans on social media. The 26-year-old took to Instagram to share a carousel of snaps from recent days, including her appearance at the Dior Fall/Winter 2026 Couture show in Paris, and her outing at the World Cup.
Yet it was her outfit for the highly anticipated wedding that had fans in a frenzy over the stunning look. Sabrina opted for a black lace gown with a plunging neckline and a dusty pink rose appliqué on the chest. The dress also featured a drop waist with a full skirt, and the star opted to wear minimal jewelry and let the dress do the talking.
She completed the look with her signature bombshell waves and heavy blush paired with a dusty pink lip. "Is this perhaps the perfect wedding guest dress we're seeing?" wrote one fan, while another added: "I need your closet ASAP."

Taylor and her NFL beau Travis gathered 1,000 of their friends, including stars like Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham and Karlie Kloss, at Madison Square Garden on July 3.
According to a press release from Taylor's publicist, Tree Paine, the happy couple wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture, and opted for a small wedding party. While Taylor's maid of honor was actually a "man of honor", her brother, Austin Swift, Travis asked his brother, Jason Kelce, to serve as his best man.
Sabrina and Taylor's friendship extends back to 2023, when the "Cruel Summer" singer asked the blonde beauty to open for her on her record-breaking Eras Tour in Latin America, Australia and Singapore.

She added that Taylor provided her some much-needed advice amid her astronomical rise to fame. "It's so cool for me to get a perspective on this whole process from her and the community of artists that I feel I'm close to – to get advice from them on stuff that you can't just ask the internet," Sabrina explained.
"We're always playing each other our [music], and whenever I start to think, 'Maybe I'll get on Twitter and say something about this,' I'm always like, 'Maybe I'll write a song instead.'"

"It's really an all-encompassing life path, and I think she's just so brilliant and tough in a way. She's very sensitive in terms of being an artist, but she can handle herself. So I just thought that she would be a great person to collaborate with on that song in particular."
