In fashion terms, Christian Dior creative director Jonathan Anderson is quite the Jude Bellingham – having just scored the greatest goal of his career.
After months of fevered speculation, on Saturday it transpired that billionaire pop star Taylor Swift had chosen to marry American footballer Travis Kelce, both 36, in a Dior couture dress.
This was a huge publicity coup for the LVMH-owned fashion house, and the first bridal gown by Anderson, the Northern Irish designer who became Dior's creative director last year.
With not a single image of Swift's outfit leaked, you can hardly blame guests at Dior's catwalk show in Paris yesterday for paying particular attention to 'La Mariee', the bridal gown that traditionally ends a haute couture show. Speculation, naturally, was whether it resembled the pop star's choice.
Only two people attending the show were in a position to know: Anderson, 41, and front row guest singer Sabrina Carpenter, 27, who had jetted almost straight from the wedding to the show, and was herself dressed in bridal ivory lace.
