The guest list at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded wedding was packed with A-listers, but one attendee is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Tori Evans, a dancer who performed on Swift's massive Eras Tour, is catching heat online for her dress choice at the July 3 ceremony in New York City.
Evans stepped out in what many saw as a white gown, a major fashion faux pas for any wedding guest. While she and her partner insist the dress is actually a pinkish champagne color, photos and videos from the event tell a different story, leaving Swifties and etiquette police up in arms.
Backlash Over the 'White' Dress
Social media lit up with criticism after Evans shared a post captioned, “So it’s going to be forever…🥂🍾.” Her partner quickly jumped to her defense, writing, “DRESS IS PINK CHAMPAGNE color for everyone that doesn’t understand lighting 😂.” But the explanation didn't stop the flood of comments.
One fan wrote, “Beautiful couple. Stunning attire. However…It is surprising that basic wedding etiquette seems to be overlooked by so many guests. As a guest, white should not be worn. Off-white should also be avoided. Traditionally, shades such as champagne and red are likewise discouraged, as they can draw attention away from the bride. Unless, that is the intent. If you felt comfortable with your choice, that is certainly your prerogative, and I respect your confidence. However, I can also guarantee that many women at that wedding were discussing it, and a number of them were likely disappointed by the decision considering you are close to Taylor.”
Other comments were more blunt: “Even if it’s pink but it’s so close to white lol why choose that colour to wear at someone’s wedding 💍?” and “Why’d you pick a near-white dress though 😭.” Another added, “Too close to white babe 😬,” and “Noooo!! Not pink that looks like white!!! It’s our girl’s day!!!”
Wedding Etiquette Under the Spotlight
The controversy comes amid a whirlwind of coverage from the Swift-Kelce nuptials, which included luxury gifts for every guest and standout fashion moments like Erin Andrews' daring black gown. For Evans, the choice of a near-white dress has sparked a broader conversation about wedding guest etiquette, especially at high-profile events.
While some fans defended Evans, noting the dress is technically champagne, the general consensus among commenters is that the color was too close to white for comfort. The incident also echoes the drama around Kayla Nicole's cryptic post after the wedding, adding another layer of intrigue to the star-studded affair.
What Do You Think?
Was Evans' dress a harmless mistake or a deliberate breach of wedding etiquette? With the bride's own fashion choices often setting trends, it's clear that even close associates of Swift aren't immune to scrutiny. As the debate rages on, one thing is certain: this wedding will be remembered for more than just the couple's vows.
