Karlie Kloss was observed attending Taylor Swift's wedding ceremony on Friday, marking a significant public appearance after months of rumors about a strained relationship between the two.
Kloss, who was seen in a gold gown, arrived at the 1,000-guest event at Madison Square Garden with her husband, Joshua Kushner. A witness described Kloss as looking "happy and cool as a cucumber" as she posed for photographs. The appearance comes after a period where it was unclear if Kloss would receive an invitation to the nuptials.
Rumors of a falling out between Swift and Kloss emerged around 2017. Sources at the time suggested the rift was due to Kloss's alleged intentions and her association with Scooter Braun, who was involved in a public dispute with Swift. Swift and Kloss initially became friends in 2013, with joint appearances in music videos and at award shows.
Further speculation regarding the alleged rift arose from political associations. Kloss's husband, Joshua Kushner, is the brother of Jared Kushner, who served in the Trump administration and is married to Ivanka Trump. Taylor Swift has previously expressed Democratic political leanings. Former President Donald Trump had also publicly criticized Swift.
Despite the past estrangement, Kloss had previously shown signs of reconciliation, notably by 'liking' Swift and Travis Kelce's engagement announcement on Instagram in August.
Kloss was seen heading to a fitting for Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week on Sunday, dressed in a black satin camisole with a lace trim and a zebra-printed skirt. The day after Swift's wedding, Kloss was back at work in the French capital.
Swift and Kelce's wedding ceremony was a large event, with the couple announcing their marriage via video ads at Madison Square Garden. Both were dressed in Christian Dior, and Swift's brother Austin served as her "man of honor," while Travis Kelce's brother Jason was the best man.
