Taylor Swift’s Meaningful Take on the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards: A Closer Look at Her ‘Wiederhoeft’ Style
All eyes were on Taylor Swift at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards, held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday, March 26. Swift, 36, stole the spotlight in a striking mint outfit designed by Wiederhoeft, featuring a structured corset with visible boning and intricate beading. She completed the look with a matching skirt and open-toe heels.
Her accessories included $36,000 Dena Kemp dangling earrings and her impressive engagement ring from fiancé Travis Kelce, who also attended the event. Additionally, Swift adorned herself with a Nak Armstrong ear cuff valued at $8,250, a diamond tennis bracelet from Spinelli Kilcollin priced at $15,700, an $8,000 ring by LˊDezen By Payal Shah, and a Selim Mouzannar ring costing $11,070. In total, her jewelry ensemble amounted to $79,020.
The designer shared insights about creating Swift’s outfit on Instagram on Friday, March 27. “The look features our ‘Venus’ corset in celadon bonded velvet and moiré, featuring hand-embroidered Tasche floral in blush glass beads, crystals, and fringe work — with a matching velvet mini skirt,” she wrote. The brand noted that the design was originally part of their SS/26 runway collection called ‘Lost Works.’ It had briefly vanished before the show but resurfaced in time for the awards.
Wiederhoeft expressed the significance of the look, stating it was “especially personal” due to the use of the same velvet found in their bridal salon in New York City, describing it as “an ode to our favorite room and showgirls everywhere.”
Swift’s Success at the Awards
At the awards ceremony, Swift took home seven trophies, including the prestigious Pop Album of the Year for The Life of a Showgirl, and accolades for Pop Song of the Year, Best Lyrics, Best Music Video, and Artist of the Year.
During her acceptance speech for Artist of the Year, Swift gave a heartfelt shoutout to Kelce. “I think that this album feels very happy and confident and free because that’s the way that I get to feel every single day of my life, because of my fiancé who’s here tonight,” she said. “So thanks for all the vibes. I really just wanted to say thank you also to iHeart and thank you to anyone who cared about ‘The Fate of Ophelia,’ because you made that into the biggest hit of my career, which is crazy at this point. And thank you.”
