Supermodel Gigi Hadid, 31, and actor Bradley Cooper, 51, were seen heading to a wedding celebration for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in New York City on Friday. Hadid, who has been rumored to be a bridesmaid, was photographed in a shimmering pink dress, while Cooper wore a fitted black suit and bow tie.
Hours before their arrival at Madison Square Garden, a vehicle believed to be carrying Swift was observed leaving her home and heading to Hadid's residence, sparking speculation that the pop star was preparing for her wedding with her bridal party. Swift and Kelce, both 36, reportedly held a rehearsal dinner on Thursday at the Infosys Theater with around 100 guests, including Hadid, Cooper, Selena Gomez, and Jack Antonoff.
There are conflicting reports regarding whether Swift and Kelce have already officially married, but plans for a large party with approximately 1,000 guests at Madison Square Garden were in motion for Friday. Permits indicated the event could continue until 4 a.m. The cost of the nuptials is estimated by industry experts to exceed $15 million, encompassing venue, security, insurance, permits, catering, and decorations. Taxpayer funds reportedly contributed over $1 million for the couple's NYPD security detail at Madison Square Garden, with press access restricted and warnings issued against non-compliance with street closure regulations.
Interior glimpses revealed floral arrangements with pink, orange, and yellow roses woven into foliage. Crews were working to redecorate the venue for subsequent festivities. Hadid also shared details of her preparations, with her hairdresser Dimitris Giannetos posting photos on Instagram of her styled hair, described as 'love layers.' The style featured bouncy layers framing her face, with the length below her shoulders, designed to create an illusion of facial contouring and structure.
Olympic gymnast Simone Biles also shared a peek into her preparation process via Instagram, posting a photo of a makeup setup in her hotel room featuring products from Huda Beauty and Makeup by Mario. Biles tagged hairstylist Justin Revenge and makeup artist Deja Blackwell.
