Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or not, you can agree that anything Taylor Swift does has an unmatched impact. Whether it’s the resurgence of friendship bracelets thanks to her “Eras” tour, the endless obsession with her Mac red lipstick, or wearing denim dresses to the gym, the star brings a whole new meaning to the word “influence.” As if her new album tease on Aug. 12 (at 12:12 a.m. to be exact), wasn’t enough to leave fans in a frenzy, Swift just achieved her biggest internet-breaking moment yet — her engagement.
In an Instagram post, the 35-year-old star and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce broke the happy news, with Swift’s cushion-cut vintage diamond engagement ring (estimated at $550,000) and naked manicure being the center of attention. While fans couldn’t stop staring at her ridiculously huge rock, her navy-and-white striped midi dress by Ralph Lauren also stole the spotlight during the momentous occasion — so much so that it sold out in 20 minutes.
Of course, it’s no surprise that the “Fortnight” singer’s exact ensemble isn’t available to shop, but that’s where we come in. After an in-depth search, we found a few similar options that are sure to be Swift-approved, and they’re way below the $398 price point. Whether you’re in the market for a late summer getup or just need another excuse to shop, consider these alternatives that are just as chic: Lentta Striped Smocked Maxi Dress ($29); Cider Strapless Dress ($36); Abercrombie The A&F Emerson Strapless Maxi Dress ($60, originally $120); Princess Polly Pokey Stripe Sleeveless Cotton Maxi Dress ($75); and the Moon River Stripe Ruched Strapless Midi Dress ($98). We also managed to find Swift’s shoe silhouette in the Margaux The City Sandal ($365), and this under-$200 option: Frankie4 Eadie Ankle Strap Sandal ($198).
